Day 7: Off To Dubai We Go

Hello. We are reporting from the Singapore Changi Airport. Its 2am at the moment and we are waiting for our flight to Dubai.

This morning we checked out of the 7th Storey Hotel. It was an awesome stay and the staff are really really friendly. They even shook our hands as we left. For those who are looking for a convenient and affordable stay in Singapore this hostel is the way to go. The website is: http://www.nsshotel.com/

Again my Uncle David picked us up and we were off to the family house on the family street which is named after my great grandfather. Today one of the Singapore tv stations were filming a tv show at the house. It was very exciting as we met actors who had appeared in 'The King and I', 'James Bond' and 'Pirates of the Carribean'. We didn't stay long as I think we were mostly in their way. Exciting nonetheless.

The afternoon was dedicated to exploring Clarke Quay. This place is a very hip and modern area in Singapore. There are many restaurants and Bars. One bar we visited had a hospital theme and they used wheelchairs as chairs. Very cool. The next place we went to at Clarke Quay was the Singaporean Ministry of Sound. Blake if you are reading this you are probably wetting your pants. It was a pity that we didn't discover this earlier as there was a lot to see here.

Nonetheless we went on a River Taxi ride along the Singapore River. This was rather interesting as we saw a lot of the Singapore architecture.

Time for dinner. AGAIN! Tonights feast was Indonesian cuisine. Spicy but tasty.

After we had enough of Clarke Quay we went back to my Uncle's place where we were busy packing last minute items. To much shock and horror we had found out that Pettsy had misplaced his entry pass that was issued to him when he came to Singapore. This pass is meant to be retained by visitors and returned upon leaving Singapore. None of us realised that this pass was so important until my mum asked us where we kept them. Everything worked out in the end. One of the first things we did when we go to the airport tonight was go and sort Pettsy's entry pass out. Singapore's Immigration Officers handed back Pettsy passport with a smile. There were no issues. Yay!

We then said farewell to my family which was a little emotional but it was now time for our big trip alone. Things should get interesting. Keep posted.
