Singapore - April 2025

Did some emails in the hotel then Uber to the airport for my flight to Singapore. Had some lunch then boarded. Easy 5 hour flight from Perth and I slept for a couple of hours.

Staying at QT Singpore for the first time which is well located across the road from Lau Pa Sat. I booked this hotel for the pool but unfortunately it was closed for renovation. The room they gave me looked onto a brick wall so after one night, they moved me to the top floor which at least had some natural light.


This is the view of Lau Pa Sat from the rooftop pool...


I had a complementary drink voucher so had a nice cocktail at the hotel bar. It was called the Devil Wears Prada..


Had dinner in the hotel restaurant one night. This is the bread with vegemite butter...


Saturday morning I walked close by to Teloy Ayer and had a nice breakfast at Plain Vanilla where I had been before. I went for a walk and dropped off laundry. That night I caught a Grab to my mate Ian's place on the East Coast. We sat on the balcony and had some wine...


Sunday morning I had breakfast in Telok Ayer which is close to my hotel. This restaurant is called Sarnies...


This temple was in the same street...



I went to Lau Pa Sat most days for lunch. This is an oyster omelette and kopi...


It rained heavily on Sunday so I was stuck in the hotel. As soon as it stopped I went for a walk along the harbour to Boat Quay





I worked in the office from Monday to Thursday. Then as I wasn't flying out until the night of Good Friday, my colleague and I caught a ferry from Marina South Pier to Lazarues Island and then walked over the causeway to St John Island and walked around. Then caught the ferry back.




We went to Lau Pa Sat for beer and food...


As the pool at QT was closed, we were able to use the pool at the Westin. 

We then caught a Grab to the aiport and had dinner in the First Class Lounge which is really nice.

Boarded and had a relatively quick (under 7 hours) flight back to Sydney. 

We landed early on Easter Saturday and as all the gates were full they had to bus us off. In spite on that I will through quite quickly and caught a Uber home, then headed up to Berkeley Vale as we are having people over for lunch.
