I started with brunch today - Sunday Bruch is a fine Singapore tradition :D very delicious. Nice pot of tea too... so it was a relatively late start to the day but the sleep-in was well appreciated.

I found some directions and headed to the science centre, but when I got there (and I should have twigged earlier) it was clearly not the new place at Marina Bay I had found but another altogether. Seems it was the ArtScience Centre I wanted. Oops! Still, the Sharks exhibit and fire tornado (a tornado made of fire, just what the name suggests) were interesting. The rest, I admit, was... very kiddy. Not quite what I'd hoped for. Added to that was infuriation with children pushing in on EVERYTHING all the time. Still, not a disaster.

After a break at the Hostel I met Natalie and Lisa by the Sri Mariamman temple (as pictured). It's been two years since I saw Natalie (in London). I wonder where we'll meet again in another two years? The three of us had dinner at the Dim Sum restaurant that's more or less below my Hostel, we also had a wander around the market and some rather tasty ice cream.

Anyhow, I was planning on going to Universal Studios tomorrow, but after checking the weather forecast and finding thunderstorms forecast I think I might find myself a nice indoor museum. The weather for Tuesday looks much better.
