Hey guys,
Kaelin and I are off to Hong Kong tomorrow morning until March 8th, and I don't think we'll have a chance to update until after we're back.
To tide everyone over (because I
know that you people have absolutely nothing better to do than compulsively check our blog every minute of every day) I thought I would post about a bunch of stuff that hasn't really merited a post of its own, but is still cool. That being said, I now introduce you to the post of random Singapore stuff!
1) Cynthia and Neil (Kaelin's aunt and uncle) are super cool

Cynthia and Neil are who we've been staying with in Singapore and they have been super awesome to us. We've been introduced to all sorts of cool food including $2 cafeteria food that is delicious (take that Guelph!) and pizzas with all sorts of crazy toppings. We've had some very nice food as well, but it's nowhere near as interesting to write about as cafeteria food that costs pennies, is delicious and that there it far too much of to finish in one sitting. We also had the most hilarious experience of phoning up a pizza place on a Friday night only to be told that we could not, in fact, order pizzas because "We are overwhelming". Any one else ever tried to order pizzas only to be told that the pizza place was too busy?
Cynthia and Neil also have four cats, which is excellent for me since it means that I get my cat fix while I'm away from Lola. Cynthia and Neil are camera shy, but since their cats aren't, and know that they are meant to be famous and adored by everyone, you will instead get pictures of them.

| Nikki - sleeping in his favourite spot |
 |
| Ripley - being the indelicate girl that she is |
2) I force Kaelin to be attacked by statues far too often
Exhibit A:
 |
| "Stick your hand in the fountain and look like you're in pain!" |
Exhibit B:
 |
| "Climb on that statue and be scared!" |
I love that she does, but I'm not entirely sure why she does...
3) There is a lot of random stuff in Singapore
This should really be divided up into multiple categories, but it is getting late and that will be my excuse for laziness.
 |
| They have buildings with spikes |
 |
| People use odd means to trim tree branches |
 |
| They have indoor skating rinks made of plastic. Also, Singaporeans cannot skate. |
 |
| They sell meat squares and medallions |
 |
| There is a "football pitch" "floating" in the water. Why? Because they can! |
4) We make fools of ourselves everywhere and maybe do stuff that we shouldn't
Exhibit A:
(Also filed under weird stuff in Singapore since these are British phone booths)
 |
| "Oh yeah!" |
 |
| Trying to do a "sexy" pose, but laughing at myself instead |
Exhibit B:
Me climbing a water fountain staircase that I probably shouldn't be
 |
| Not really sure about this... |
 |
| Doing it anyhow |
Exhibit C:
 |
| "Grr! We too are merlions!" |
Exhibit D:
 |
| Feet eaten by fish! |
 |
| Kaelin was the flavour of the month! |
 |
| Awesome! |
This technically shouldn't be here since it's not something that we shouldn't do, and Kaelin put up a video of it, but it's still super cool!
5) We sometimes look like we've been photoshopped into pictures
6) Singapore has an amazing skyline
There you have it! A collection of random things about Singapore that expanded far beyond my original intent; I guess Singapore is just that cool.
I hope that all of you have a lovely week. Kaelin and I will be back on or around the 8th with tales of our travels to Hong Kong!
