Ni Hao from Singapore!

I'm jet lagged and it's my second day here, seems longer from the internet world. This attests to my addiction. Highlights from our trip so far:

* Meeting Natalie on my plane ride from Tokyo to Singapore. Talked about Etsy and certain big name bloggers for an hour or so. So hilarious. I mean, two etsians sitting next to each other on the plane. She was super awesome and we exchanged details!

*Lost my bf at the airport (my plane was delayed and he thought my plane was at another terminal). Paged him. No answer. After a 2 hour game of cat and mouse chase, at 4.30am, I finally arrived to the hotel and he was there. What a way to kick start the holiday!

*Met up with my NZ friend Joy for a jazz night in the arab town of Singapore. It was awesome to be able to go to a local hang out and the keyboard chick was insanely creative with her music.

*Singapore zoo was filled with so many cute creatures! Aaron had a field day with his camera. We took photos with orangutans, they're so freaking cute. Did you know one adult orangutan has the strength of 9 adult human males? Polar bears are show offs, sloths and bats get along really well together and there are snakes in the bio dome! Butterflies still scare the living day lights out of me. I mean, those things are so eratic and urgh,everytime I see them, my first instinct is to bring my shoulders up to my head. Yuk.

*Aaron actually enjoyed Durian ice cream. If you do not know what a Durian is, oh, you should totally click here and if you can, find one at your asian supermarket and.. try it out. I love it but it is definitely an acquired taste!


We leave for Sabah, Borneo tomorrow and I should get back into bed, there's a kiwi in my bed.

Post some zoo pics! Would love to see these alleged orangutans :)

And yes, I know what Durians are - probably the stinkiest fruit known to mankind. I've got to say - I'm sort of shocked about the ice cream.
