When It Sings, It S'pores (Part 3)

Bug-eyed in the Subway.
Aug. 21, 2011: Lola and I checked out of the hostel in the morning, but our flight to Manila for 1:30AM the next day, so we asked them to hold on to our bags (for an additional S$2 each) while we spent our Last Day out and about.  Seeing as we missed our chance to watch The Lion King we opted to check out real animals at the Singapore Zoo.

When It Sings, It S'pores (Part 2)

Aug. 20, 2011:  Busy day today, with lots of walking done.

After Lola and I waited for our consumed breakfast of Nestlé cereal and white bread to do its job (i.e. act as "nature's brooms") we headed out for Suntec to attend the Toy, Games and Comicon.  The venue almost felt like overkill to me, as if RCBC Plaza in Makati decided to host our Manila Comicon instead of the usual soulless venues like SM Megatrade Hall.  We got in pretty easily as next to no-one queued at the Internet Booking line.

When It Sings, It S'pores (Part 1)

Pagoda Street, Chinatown, where Lola bought a cheesecloth umbrella.
Aug. 19, 2011: This is being typed on the netbook provided by the good folks of Beary Nice Hostel, located on Smith Street in Chinatown... in Singapore.

Probably should have mentioned that first.  Am here w/ Lola to attend the Singapore Toy Games and Comics Convention, and for me to meet up w/ some friends along the way.  Failed tonight on the latter, but more on that later.

Busuanga Blog, Day 3 (of 3) ((Revised))

He took his T-shirt caption (GIVE ME A BREAK) seriously.
Sunday, June 26, 2011: Half our day was spent at the local hospital as Richard needed to be treated for his allergies, w/c were exacerbated from all the booze, possibly the water source from the shower (not like we had a CSI kit to verify this) and his inability to stop scratching himself all throughout last night.  We killed the hours waiting for the doctor to show up (he didn't) w/ catnaps and, in the case of Enz, watching Game of Thrones on her iTouch.  Eventually we just left after a nurse shot Richard w/ I believe was steroids, but I can't be too sure as he wasn't going to be lifting any heavy weights aside from our luggage in the near future.
