Today, I was inspired to think about what I could create if I were to start up a small business venture. Since arriving in Singapore I have been to numerous gyms island-wide for workouts and several interviews for possible employment, having nothing remotely appealing in terms of renumeration or personal development. Being an independent contractor back in Les MIlls NZ has given me contempt for the monstrous capitalist "health and well-being" enterprises sprawled throughout the country. To submit to employment by these agencies would be to agree to sell my soul for 8 hours a day, 6 days a week. Envisioning the prospect of actually signing with one of these clubs, heinous images of a recent visit to Singapore's Night Safari flashed through my mind - a cage is still a cage no matter how much flora you use to cover up the bars.
Be that as it may, Amber and I have been scouring the island for green 'breathing' spaces, where we can hang out to read, eat and drink, without breaking the bank. We found some!

Pasir Ris Park with our new deck chairs. In the background is a cafe that
we had previously discovered with very luxurious couches. However, the
menu was offensively overpriced and the refreshments un-refreshing. In
response, we purchased 2 deck chairs on sale at 30bucks apiece and
delicious cheap-as-chips drinks from the supermarket at $1.50 a bottle.
UP YOURS, pricey cafe!

On another occasion, NICK had invited us out for dinner at a fancy chinese restaurant at the new Resort Casino at Marina Sands. VERY tasty, and what a spectacle it was from the upper levels of the casino to see the exquisite interior architecture and the razzle-dazzle of rows and rows of poker tables and jackpot machines. Too bad taking photographs were not permitted.

The Marina Sands Bay area is for the wealthy. We parked for 2+ hours and it cost us $20! Also, the people are made of gold. Look!
