Singapore- Day Three. Puking in Public

Despite my nasty cold, I was tired of resting in the hotel room and was determined to go out today.

We ate our complimentary club, hotel breakfast which consists of (mom, since you would be interested) any kind of tea, coffee, three kinds of cereal- all granola, fruit juices, rolls, 4 different fruits, yoghurt, two kinds of Brie, mozzarella, three kinds of deli meat- British style, herring, gross Asian condiments... And that's all I can remember. Basically, you take what you want. I love breakfast, so I dig the hotel spread.

After breakfast, we returned to the room for a while to wait for the stores to open.

Today's Highlights
Shopping at Zara. I bought a silky shirt.

Being outside and wearing a cute outfit.

Finding an amazing Peppermint tea that is served in our hotel.

Dinner with B's Korean distributors- they were very nice and bestowed a gift of Bvlgari perfume on me. Since I can't smell right now, I'll have to test it out later.

Today's Lowlights
Discovering the hotel sells my peppermint tea for $100 for a box of loose leaf!!!

Puking in the street. (This tops when I had to puke in the hallway garbage can in high school, and then I puked out the side of the second story window (10 minutes apart) of my English class.) B and I were walking on Orchard and I was determined to get my brother a "Singapore is a fine city" t-shirt. We had already walked about 10 blocks and I started to feel verrry dizzzzy. I sat down immediately. After a couple minutes I got up and started walking slowly. I got dizzy again and sat at an empty street vendor's chair behind an empty table. I demanded a plastic bag from B and deposited the remnants of gelato I had eaten a half hour earlier. There went my cute outfit. Not fun.

My throat is sore and I sound like a frog.

The good news is that it was the gelato that caused the negative reaction, not a progression of my cold.

I feel like I had a successful day. I felt better in the afternoon.

We also decided to stay here in Singapore and not go to Bangkok. I know we said we weren't going last week, but we hadn't changed our plane tickets ad hotel reservations. We decided today to stay here since it's safer for me to be sick here than Thailand, I don't want to get on an airplane anytime soon and lastly, the US just rescinded our aid to the Bangkok government which kind of makes things personal. I'm not sure how the militants feel about the US right now, but I don't want to find out the hard way.

We haven't had a chance to even see anything here, so I want to stick around and go to the night zoo and take the city tour etc. The wakeboard tournament starts tomorrow, so I may be sleeping by a lake all day, depending on how I feel.

Time for bed.
