Wow! We had the LONGEST....LOOOOOOOONGEST day seeing competitive set hotels. I can't even tell you how exhausting and hot and ridiculous today was. But it was hotel geek heaven seeing our competitor hotels too.
Then...after a quick "freshen" we had a cocktail reception.
On the Helipad.
On the 72nd story of the hotel.
That's right - cocktails on the helipad. Yo! Hopefully I'll figure out how to post pictures soon.
And then we went for a very traditional and crazy Chinese dinner on the East Coast of Singapore...I was so exhausted I could hardly keep my eyes open on the bus ride to the open air "hawker" where we ate a 17 quadzillion course meal. I ate...in no particular order...veg, squid (inb various forms), jelly fish, stone fish, Durian (the most dis-gust-ing "fruit" EVER), pepper crab and...Chilli crab. YUM! Chilli crab was full on the messiest meal I have ever eaten, but delicious. It was a gorgeous warm night and we got to eat outside which is a bit unheard of here in August. So a great time.
I was SO SO SO tired when I got on the bus and went back to the hotel I could not wait to go to my room and crash. But got invited for a "nightcap" somewhere "close by". Thinking I really should socialize with my new team I went along.......a 20 minute cab ride later we were at St. James Power Station - an old power station that has been converted into 6 or 7 bars and night clubs. Very very cool. Good times had by all. And now...well lets just say I have hopefully impressed the one person who can put in a super good word for me and also made a very cute new friend (two very different people)...and it is 1:50 pm Calgary time and I am going to have to work hard not to regret this tomorrow.
Today I...am going with the "you only live once" philosophy and am hoping that being myself is going to work for me.
