Singapore // a rainy day

Let me first tell you about last night. When I got back from my tiring day in the city I talked to a guy in my room. Not sure about his name anymore... Anyway he is from the States but lives in Bangkok and works there as a teacher. Wow. Seriously I was stunned. I told him that I have so much respect for him doing such a thing with his tiny 26 years, not to forget that he moved over there two years ago. He was in town because of one of his favourite bands, he went on a concert last night. As I was so interested in his life I asked a lot of questions and we decided to have dinner together. We went to a Mexican restaurant and talked about movies, books, politics and more. Seriously, the last time I had such an interesting conversation was a long long time ago. I went to bed late and finished reading my book 'the true story behind theory of everything'. I had goosebums (not sure about the spelling) when I closed the book for the last time. I enjoyed the book very much and it made me almost cry a few times.
The following morning I got up quite late. The thing is, I have no idea what time it is, it is always dark in the room as we have no windows... But the air is good by the way. I had breakfast at 10 am and after I went to the metro. I drove to the Marina Bay gardens, which I first saw from the skypark and decided that I want to see it closer the following day. But to be honest, it was not as cool as expected... There were no grass fields, just plants and concrete around them... I was a bit disappointed. When I went back to the metro station I started to randomly talk to a Finnish girl. That is so awesome... you just walk around, see someone who looks like a lost tourist and you start talking to each other without being shy. I think I learned that while travelling and now I know that I could do it even in Switzerland, when I reckon that someone looks interesting I just start talking. Seriously, we talked for about two hours for sure! She just made a stopover from Nepal to Darwin, Australia for 13 hours. She was in my age and all by herself in Nepal, I was quite impressed.
I had luck when I went into the metro train that there was no one, so I could take a picture and show you how perfectly clean everything is...

Awesome mirrors in the metro station. Again no one there... I don't know why!

The weather might looks crap but it was so hot and humid you can not imagine. That is the garden I told you about, that is a more beautiful part of it. Still it looks impressive but the following parts weren't that cool...

A two dollar shuttle who brought you around the garden.

See what I mean? I would have rather had it with a nice grass field.

These are leaves by the way, not flowers...

I don't know the name of these guys, but I can tell you that they were massive and an awesome idea I reckon. 

So green.

I'm so cool.

Even cooler.

That is in Orchard Rd, with all those expensive shops and fascinate buildings.
