Really Quite Sexy
View from the room - the famous Raffles hotel just below:
The bathroom has a raindrop shower - a shower that simulates the feeling of falling rain. It. Is. Exquisite.
I’m already having to create fictional mealtimes to justify eating as much food as possible (since it’s all quite unavailable in Tokyo) such as my post-brunch blunch, today. Unfortunately, years of subtle Japanese cuisine has had something of an adverse effect on my ability to tolerate Singapore’s chilli-laden local fare. I had two local meals today, both of which I proceeded to blast all over my toilet bowl mere hours later. On the up side, the freed-up space in my digestive system means there is the chance to fit a couple more blunches in.
RAINDROP SHOWER?? …damn it! I like the reflection of the hotel room on the windows. I’m not jealous.
It’d be funny to hear you say “It. Is. Exquisite.” in a podcast.
Cool room.
So who will you be sharing those twin double beds with, eh?
Stay in the same hotel, but in a higher up room. Eat it.
wow, you have an unusual and unique perspective to life - shows in your photos and paragraphs! Definitely will re-visit! Not sure how long you’ll be in SG but there are some real diamonds-in-the-rough places to visit! (Don’t think you need help checking out the pubs and buildings around the hotel!) You came at a right time - convergence of ethnic festivals galore!
Current festivals: Chinese temples in the heartlands, Indian Deepavali lightups in Little India & Malay Ramadan Pre-Hari Raya Puasa festivites in Geylang.
Places: Changi Murals at Changi Camp (actual site) http://www.petrowilliamus.co.uk/murals/murals.htm - Visitors who wish to view the Changi Murals at nearby Changi Camp have to write in to the Public Affairs Department, MINDEF at fax: (65) 6764 6119 for approval.

. . . many others!
Enjoy your stay! Looking forward to see your fotoj!
I want a typhoon shower that blasts high speed rain and wind all over. It would take about 20 seconds to get clean that way, I reckon…Looks like you could drop into the Raffles through the roof from the hotel next door.
I’m suprised no fangirl has asked of a photo of you in said raindrop shower yet.
Or a fanboy…
It looks like an elevator could open up right at the head of the bed. And hawt women would march out and do naughty things to you.
Gordon Ramsay is the man.
photo of fangirl/boy AND yongfook in said raindrop shower. hands down panties.
Panties in the shower? I like your way of thinking.
“I proceeded to blast all over my toilet bowl mere hours later.”
pictures please, HDR if possible.

I personally prefer Becker and Anthony Bourdain anytime. And Ramsay’s “The F Word” is a tad “trying-really-hard” to be stylish. His “Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares” is definitely better.
Enjoy yr stay in Singapore!
but singaporean food is just sterile compared to malaysian food….
not oily or flavourful enough.
naeboo: too true! I commend your good taste.
“Singapore’s chilli-laden local fare”? hahahahhahahaha
Yongfook, you need to get yourself up to KL. There be real food. I could give you a whole list of the best places. Oh, but if you can’t handle s’porean food… :D
ah… time for you to visit more often. get used to the curry once again. catch up with you some other time! sorry had to miss lunch… have a safe flight back!
Zedstar, where the hell are you? Still alive? We just don’t talk anymore!
Which would you say is worse at tearing up your guts and leaving them wounded/stuck to the inside of a porcelain bowl: Sigaporean, or Mexican? (Real-deal down home Mexican… the kind that ignites your bowels like molten lead being poured in reverse through your system.)
No wonder you’re such a skinny fooker.
