Quick hello from singapore...

So I'm currently in a cyber cafe in singapore, officially crowned by me and king as the worlds hottest country. We are in the funan IT mall, and there are bloody loads of electronics based shops here so as all those that know me will will understand that I am in my element. Prices are not quite as cheap as I would have thought, but saying that they are far cheaper than at home. Laptops are around 300-400 quid cheaper, and the high definition screens are amazing. Me and king have been staring at them in each shop we go in. Thinking about it, everything is about a third cheaper than at home which is not to be sniffed at.

I've been feeling pretty much permanently sick since I've been here though, I dont know if its because of the heat or what. Its definately the hottest place I've ever been, with it seeming like there is no actual air in the air. The only time I havent felt sick was last night when I was drunk. Note to self - get drunk later to stop feeling sick.

Funniest story so far -

We went to a really unique bar yesterday. It has its own brewery on site and you can see it behind the bar. There are massive vats and loads of pipes running all over the place full with different types of beer. In fact they sell 17 different beers, with 8 of them being brewed on the premises. They even do a strawberry beer. Me and king took our seats, ordered a massive plate of chicken wings and settled in watching the sports channels on the huge tv screens. King considered the beer menu and went on to order a specialist wheat beer that was brewed about 10 feet away from where we were sitting. The guy turns to me and asks for my order:

Man - "What beer would you like sir?"

Me - "Ummmm.....I'll have a coke please."

Man (with distraught look on face) - "Coke?!"

Me - "Yes. I'm very hot"

Kingy - "Jam..."

Me - "Yeah?"

Kingy - "You're an idiot"

So yeah - I go to this great bar that serves great beer that is brewed on site and ordered a coke. Stuff em. I like to buck the trend now and again.

So right now we are weighing up the options - What to buy....there is a bank card in my wallet and it is burning a rather big whole in my pocket. Right now I'm thinking new camera lens, new phone, new iTrip. Possibly a DS. Or a PSP.

More to follow.

Great to hear from you. Hope you'll be feeling better soon, probably a touch of heat stroke. Buy yourself something nice, that will definately make you feel better! Mx
