SouthernMost Point

This morning started at its usual time with its typical hostel breakfast: toast/ PB and J along with tea or coffee. We got on our bathing suits and then took off for the MRT station. We took it all the way down to the last stop and it ended in a huge mall (one of the many here). I swear some people probably come to singapore JUST to shop! Anyways, from the mall a monorail ran over the water and to Sentosa Island. This place was absolutely stunning. It is a natural island but if I hadn't of known it I would have thought it was man made just for tourists and vacationers in general. We got off the tram and went to the left where the proclaimed southernmost point is. We walked across a suspension bridge and took a picture by the sign that said southernmost point and on a palm tree that hung out over the water! We went back across and saw a show starring some more pink-butted monkeys and decided we would swim/ lay out some. I don't know what was up though because after we swam for a little while and started to lay out, about 15 minutes into it we were both bored. It might have been because we were hungry, but we decided even if it wasn't, food sounded good anyways! However, it was the worst meal we have had on this trip. I had some kinda roasted chicken with rice and jen had spring roll with noodle soup. Doesn't sound too bad right? I don't know what it was, but it just tasted horrible. From there we decided we wanted to do this downhill luge option. We got to ride a skilift type thing up a small, but long hill, and then ride these go-kart/luge like things down to the bottom. It was short, but reallly fun. We both decided we want to try real lugeing sometime! At that point though the weather just started looking ugly so we decided to leave the island for a while and come back to see this aquatic/light show later on. We caught the monorail back to the giant mall and shopped around a while. We couldn't afford a thing but the place really was amazing. This one woman even asked us is we wanted to be actors for a day, she worked for the local tv station and they were looking for foreigners to act on monday. Sadly, we told her no since we would be gone but we thought it was cool to be asked! Wecould not have looked more foreign though, with Jen in a cover up and her chi-o sandslam hat, and me in my frat tank and boardshorts carrying a mat to lay out on the sand. We stood out plenty. We watched pirates of the carribean to pass time (which was GREAT by the way) and then went back to the island to watch the show. It was kinda corny but the effects were spectacular! From there we made it back to the mall, grabbed a bite to eat, then back to the hostel where we are watching sucker punch! Bedtime in a few. Since we are leaving tomorrow night, this will be the last post! Its been fun recounting every day, but if you want to know anything else, youll just have to ask us in person! See you all soon!
