Sentosa

We met up at 10:30 at the Harbor Front MRT station to take the bus to Sentosa Island. We got to hang out on the beach and swam across to smaller islands of the coast. Sentosa has man made beaches but are very relaxing and easy going.

We then explored the beautiful Orchid Gardens. Look at the updated Sentosa Pictures to see all the beautiful flowers.

We then sat and listened to the Jazz bands playing at one of the restaurants on the beach.

Nick and Steven Haynes joined us on the beach for awhile before the last once of daylight escaped. Jennifer, Sam, Paige, Drew, and myself went into downtown to check into the hotel for the night.

We staid in The Hammond's Swissotel where the Olympic Committee had recently to announce London as the next host of the Olympics in 2012. We staid at the same place where Tony Blair, Hillary Clinton, and several other sport stars recently staid just a week before. We can all say that I walked through the same door that Tony Blair walked through! The hotel ran us about $35 sing apiece which wasn't very bad for the nice accommodations in downtown.

We wanted to go out clubbing, however the word didn't reach everyone we where going to go out clubbing so everyone didn't bring clothes to get into the clubs. Steven Haynes decided to go home and get some spare jeans and shoes for everyone to get into the club. After two hours of being gone we still didn't have enough clothes to get in. We unsuccessful attempted to get everyone into the club, however we had a pretty good laugh at attempting to figure out a solution. We ended up just splitting into two groups one going to New Asia the others going to Boat quay.

I was in the group(Nick, Alicia, Drew, and Steven) that went to the New Asia bar on the 71st floor of the Swissotel. This is the highest bar in Singapore. The music was the same we hear in the clubs back home. We had an amazing time meeting new people and hanging out with them. We actually met a T-Sip who had been working in the Houston area for sometime, but recently moved back to continue his career in Singapore. It was a great time!

We then crashed at the room and heard about the adventures of (Jennifer, Kent,Sam, and Stephen) at Boat Quey. The found an awesome Irish Pub and had a good time.

We'll defiantly have to try to go back to the New Asia bar as a large group, but at an earlier time so we can get a table.
