The Big Adventure Part Six

Our last day in Singapore, we were due to leave quite late in the evening so effectively had all day to kill, we decided to wander up to orchard road, ant had decided i needed a new outfit for the trip home! the walk was pleasant and the place was full of huge malls, most in the process of being redone, so it looked like a big building site. After looking at all sorts of bit and pieces i insisted we stop for food, Mos Burger won the day again, then we started back on the hunt. I have to say i am not a big fan of clothes shopping but ant loves it, eventually i settled on some new trousers and a new shirt, ant said if someone was trying to get him to have a new outfit he would have snatched their hand off, so i guess i am just an ungrateful swine. Ant had wanted to find the Uniclo he had read about but we eventually tired of the experience and headed back. He bought two mr men tee shirts in the mall, one for him, Mr forgetful and one for me, Mr clever, he had wanted mr chatterbox and i had wanted mr grumpy but the sales person said, with the usual unhelpfulnes of the singaporesse, no we dont have that so we compromised. In the end the mr clever was too small for me so he ended up with both, it think it worked out for the best.
We had another afternoon siesta then another Mos Burger delight for dinner before finally getting ready for the off.
It was a bit touch and go if i would get on the flight, as it was quite full, but i got a seat with no problem at the desk, then they upgraded me to business class at check in, i was quite pleased about this as it is a little less hassle some than first. The flight was very pleasant, i managed to get in five hours sleep and watched The Ship That Rocked, not an oscar winner perhaps but a bit of light fluff. The meal was as good as i had had in first and the service was much better, i think the seat was even better for getting to sleep on as well so save your money and fly club!!
We landed by six in the morning and i streaked through the airport to the smoking place like a whippet out of a trap but this is another day so another part
