Last day in Singapore


I have been getting over a cold which came on 2 days ago - fortunately in Singapore and not on the ship.  So catching up with rellies and shopping has been interspersed with sleep.  I got on the MRT after lunch today and didn't even see the next station.

Caught up with BL, CS and Sharon yesterday over an Indian lunch.  Discovered that the chef has included two Indo-Chinese dishes on his menu.  Always adaptable - just as Chicken Tikka Masala exists in UK but not in India.  But whatever it is, it still tasted good.  

Today I went looking for the old fabric section behind People Park.  I saw this construction site next door - always a worry. means it may not be here the next time I come.





In the seventies, the fabric section covered two floors.  Now it covers half a floor but has some lovely linens and one shop even specialises in Liberty cottons and other nice fabrics.  Marginally cheaper than retail in Sydney.  But didn't buy any.  I bought some sewing gadgets and then went to the old food centre below.  It hasn't changed since the seventies - still no air-conditioning.  This is ice kachang here - and 20cents cheaper than in the shopping centre.

Tomorrow (Friday) we catch the plane home.  The same flight as usual - SQ211.
