Office

Time for a bit more work today, but at least the day started with a Fullerton breakfast. As it was pretty early, I sat outside, but it was already warming up nicely. Chances are I'll be a little later down to breakfast tomorrow, so I think I'll go for the inside option.

It was about a 15 minute walk to our office. Not particularly well signed due to there being renovation work done, and so I ended up asking in another office building and it turned out I was next door to where I wanted to be.

The day in the office went fine - our colleagues here seem happy with the work that we've done, and for some of the day whilst they were reviewing, I was able to get on with catching up on some UK work.

Here's the view from the 32nd floor meeting room we were using.


Once back at the hotel this evening (via a quick detour for some Merlion pictures - on the actual camera rather than the phone!) I caught up with home, and then headed for a dip in the pool which was most refreshing.

And this evening I've been back to the Marina Bay Sands. I went on the train, and note the picture below - looking at the two sides of the barrier stretching away from me, one is before the turnstiles, and one is after. Not sure this would work too well in London!


I had a good look around the shops, and even picked something up for Nicky in Frey Wille (although she does already know what it is!). The shopping centre has some interesting features including a little canal, a crazy fountain, and the largest Gucci store I have ever seen!


I had a snack in a café called Toast Box. Might have to look out for them on my tours over the next few days for snacking purposes - looking at their website it seems there are plenty around.


Went into the casino, which was an interesting experience - lots of table games that I didn't recognise at all. Also, 2c (i.e. 1p) slots were available, but I didn't bother - life's too short! Went and found some S$2.50 roulette and cashed in S$50. However, the table wasn't much fun - the rest of the players were almost as miserable as the croupier. I realised that I wasn't having fun after 9 or 10 spins (at which point I was breaking even or maybe a little up) so I decided to play a little more aggressively. Two more spins and I was out of the game, but with few regrets really!


Caught the train (change at Bugis) back here, and now it's time for bed.
