So you’ve heard it from me. Last week I travelled to Singapore and then to Batam Island in Indonesia, then back to Singapore and back to KL. All in 5 days with about 15 hours sleep in total. TOTAL. Huh. I am crazy, right? I know. I wasn’t even meant to go AT ALL but somehow I got suckered into going. It is called CONTRIBUTION.

I was tasked with collecting the funds for the Mental Revolution Programme in which we were trained by Koji Ikematsu and his partner, Tsutomu Asaba. I was also tasked with bringing cross border a working transmitter that got me stopped and questioned at customs due to the fact that it interferes with police radio. Innocent me, I had not a clue, but just agreed blindly to do so. And I was a member of staff, which was possibly the most challenging part since I was not exactly healthy when I began. Standing all day and hardly having any water to drink without much breaks was taxing and hence why I think I am completely sick now – with pneumonia one week and counting!!!

This here, was my lovely companion towards my journey to the MARINA BAY SANDS Singapore, an empty seat all to myself to seat my favourite Chanel bag, one of three I bought during that crazy week just because I felt I so deserved it.

I have a problem with being short because everywhere I go, everywhere I fly, I can never reach the floor with my feet EXCEPT IN JAPAN, which is why I love Japan. Not being able to reach the floor means my legs will be up, or sideways or crooked, resulting in a back ache for sure, but on this lovely Firefly flight which I accidentally paid over RM1,000 for (I fucked up my flights again!!!), I had my suitcase as my foot rest, the suit case that they insisted I should check in but I managed to convince them that it made the stipulated guidelines, and it did. If anyone had an eye for scale and attention to detail, it would be me. Not my Hubs despite the fact that he too is an architect.

This was my first glimpse of the internationally famous MBS Singapore!!!

When I entered, the sheer magnitude wowed me. I stood staring at the ceiling for ages, gobsmacked. And as I stood there with my wee suitcase, the sounds and the smells slowly started to seep into my space until I suddenly realised that shit! There was a Madame Tussaud’s kind of snaking immigration queue to CHECK-IN.

WTF.

Here I was tired from a busy morning of travel and banking and now I had to queue???? It was like a cattle market!!! And I couldn’t even spot one classy lady. What was I doing there??? There were scores and scores of people from around the world all over the place and it was so busy that it made the place feel cheap. I was not impressed.

Thankfully, registration did not take too long as there were about 20 check in staff ready to serve so up I went, straight to my bedroom wanting to REST.

Man, it was a longgggggggg corridor!

But as soon as I put my suitcase down, I got a call to meet a big multi-millionaire!

Freak! “Can I pee first?”, I asked. I was so tired……

But duty called and so I went. I had the most wonderful chat with this multi-millionaire (USD, mind you!) for a couple of hours in the suite and then we went together to the poolside, where everybody goes. And oh. my. God. I was even more disgusted at the Marina Bay Sands Singapore poolside than I was at their Reception Lobby!!!!!

Wait. Let me show you the view from the hotel room first.

Not the most inspiring probably due to a dusky sky and an iPhone camera but.

I would sure as hell NOT swim in a public pool with that many people no matter how much you paid me.

In order to go to the pool, you needed your room key card. Thus I was wondering how the real public got in, for example, if they wanted to just take some photos? We had to share key cards with our guests so that every one of the Japs could get into the pool area. The surrounding foliage was nice.

And the sea views nicer…….I love pink skies.

And then back down it was to the lobby to wait for our ride to dinner with the rest of the team. Seriously, do you see any class in this lobby?

OK, so here’s one thing I thought that was cool. It was a waiting room where you waited for your driver and it had phone stations to charge your phones and a TV to watch. How many hotels have a waiting for driver lounge? All I can remember in KL is standing and waiting for the car.

Barely slept that night due to a late night and the next morning, I was up and ready! I had breakfast in the room because the thought of going down to join hundreds of guests fighting for breakfast just did not appeal to me. So I ordered breakfast in instead. Mind you, this was also the day my Loubies had an accident. So sad!!! Life will never be the same again till I get new Loubies. There, definitely a reason to do another Niseko round.

So this, ladies and gentleman, is what I flew down to Singapore for. To see my own face on a wall. It was an enjoyable evening with my team and I learnt so, so, soooooooo much! Thank you, Universe! Isn’t that what life is all about? Life long learning? Lady from Miri, if you are reading? I can see your name on this similar wall.
