Another weekend in Singapore.

Kampot was a lovely getaway from Phnom Penh, but I realised that I needed a short getaway from Cambodia. And what better place to go than Singapore?? I love the country plus my lovely friend lives there. So last weekend I took a few days off work and went to Singapore for a long weekend. And this trip was definitely extremely significant to me due to personal reasons :) Singapore is amazing you guys, if you get a chance you should definitely go, but be prepared, it is soooooo expensive and way tooo modern and fancy grrr :) Singapore, land of the skyscrapers!! I had no plans of doing touristy stuff, as I did all of that last time I was there, so this time I just kinda hang out, chill and see what Singaporeans and the expats do on weekends. I had fancy afternoon tea at the Fairmont hotel, surrounded by a mixture of expats and giddy Singaporeans all too eager to take photos of the beautiful cakes, scones and sandwiches :) Afternoon tea at the Fairmont.  Pool ti

Waiting to order breakfast I had the best view ever!!! Damnnn View from the Patio. Isn't this beautiful?? Breakfast with a view!! Wine at 11 oclock int he morning? Why not :) Chilling. My f
