4:55am, touch down; pretty smooth until I think the pilot forgot applying brakes soon enough. Thank god for mandatory seat belt during take off and landing. Haha... We got to park at the new terminal at Singapore; nice. Very soothing feeling as soon as we stepped into the terminal. The lighting fixture from the ceiling use a combination of reflective surface and energy efficient lighting. I think it would be just nice to sit there in the building to soak it all in; maybe, because it was 5am when we arrived and no one around.
Exchange rate sucked of course w/ the US$. The exchange counter was very efficient; fast; and even provided us with a Green (environmentally friendly) zip bag to hold our Singapore dollars. I also got a Singapore Mobile number; I can call Canada, US, China, Macau, Hong Kong and 10 more other countries for free from my mobile using 018 dialing. Wow. I have not heard of this before; of course, the lady forgot telling me about my cellphone number; so I do not know what it is yet! Normally, the number is in the package; but not there. maybe it is on the outside. Have to SMS someone to find out.
Hotel, the Rendezvous Hotel. Looked nice; but cost too much money for a very small room. Not worth the money; it charges $340 per night plus taxes; the Four Seasons charges $375 per night including b'fast for two. This hotel here, only gives one free b'fast; if you want for a second person, you have to pay additional fee; the total cost, same as staying at the Four Seasons; gee, why didn't I do that! Dah. But since this is the "work" hotel for Audrey this week, no point of moving hotel twice. Not worth that hassle. Location is good though; lots of food places opens 24-hours. I'll explore later.
