Coincidentally, Elaine C was also in Singapore at the weekend that I was there. An ex colleague from (Singapore)logistics was having his wedding dinner on Saturday night and many of those who had worked with him in logistics were invited (but not me, since I was not really working closely with him). Elaine was supposed to stay with her ex colleague from Thailand. I offered her and another friend CM to stay with me and both of them accepted since the hotel I was staying in was a lot more central. 
And it would have been a lot more luxurious and comfortable. In addition, we could also explore Singapore together.

I like the cross that was made of a couple of tree branches. 
The morning sun caused an effect like a bird was flying across the cross.

She asked us to join her for dinner and we had that at the hawker center in Bishan. There was this stall that had between 15 to 20 people queueing for it's chicken rice/porridge. 
And all the other stalls neighboring it was relatively empty - essentially swatting flies!. CM just had to find out if the chicken rice was really that great. 
Honestly..... it wasn't!! Don't understand the fascination of Singaporeans for that chicken rice!.

The gas plumbing and wiring were a real mess. I named the mess - Spaghetti!! 
During the re-installation, I found a couple fo instances where the lab could potentially have had a fire hazard. Suffice to say, the quality of work done by the local engineers (and I hope it was the newer ones who had made those mistakes) leaves much to be desired.

I commended one for what I thought was a neat job. He said " I was told to do this to Tam's standard"!!! WTF!!! LOL!!!
Sigh!
