Dreams are made of chocolate.

Hey now
Hey now,
This is what dreams are made of...

Dude, I swear when Hilary Duff wrote those lyrics, she was talking about Singapore--specifically the chocolate bar at the Marina Bay Sands hotel.

I can't even begin to describe what went down tonight for many reasons...first, it's 1:28 am and I'm too exhausted to type it out.  Second, it was way too ridiculous...but the best kind of ridiculous...Since a picture is worth a thousand words, I'll let these do the talking for me.

























I had so much chocolate tonight, I wouldn't be surprised if it made its way into my lungs and bloodstream.  One more bite of chocolate cake and chocolate probably would have begun to leak out of my ears.

Then again, probably not, but I wasn't taking any chances.  If I wasn't so tired, I'd continue blabbing, but overall, it was a great night with great people and most importantly, great chocolate.  

I don't know what Hilary's dreams are made of, but tonight, mine are made of chocolate.

Good night and sweet chocolate-y dreams,

I Suck.

Hey guys!

So, I know I suck.  Like, big time.  BUT, I've decided that as of today, I will be a better person.  As of today, I will blog...

Honestly though, not gonna lie...it has been a struggle which would explain why I've been putting it off for so long!  I've taken so many pictures and videos...yes, videos.  Dude, I swear, I can't even count the number of weird looks I got every time I was caught talking to a camera, or whipping one out in the middle of a mall or restaurant.... all in the name of friendship!  Hip hip hooray!

So, yeah, let's talk Singapore!  Wait, what?  Where am I again?  Oh yeah, Singapore... I had that conversation with myself so many times in the last two weeks just because it still feels surreal at times.  Where do I even begin... it is not what I expected at all...Singapore is surprisingly clean.  I was expecting like little tiki huts and dirt roads...ahaha! Not the case.  At all. 



Dude, you can't eat or drink on public transportation.  Speaking of drinking and eating, food here is amazing and amazingly cheap!!!!!  I'm obsessed!! They have these things called hawker centers which are basically outdoor food courts where a meal can run anywhere from 1.70 SGD (Singapore dollars) to like 5 SGD.  



This is Laksa, which is a malay dish with rice noodles and a spicy, coconut based broth!  I can't even imagine going back to the states and paying 7 bucks for a full meal...Singapore is making me cheap, and I love it.  


Wait, but dude, you know what's crazy?  Ben and Jerry's.  Ben and Jerry's is 2 for 25 SGD here.  I don't get it.  You can get a complete meal for less than three bucks, then grab ice cream for four times the cost of your meal.  Also, burt's bees tinted lip balm is $15 here!!!  And it's sold in Sephora!  Speaking of things here in Singapore...Green Tea Kit Kat!!!! And the Mentos flavors are different here!!  Oh my goodness, the food.  I can't even... I could go on and on and on and on, but to spare you guys, I'll keep it at that. 

I'm actually sitting in class right now.  I'm supposed to be participating in this discussion going on. Dude, I seriously suck. 

Much love and Singaporean kisses,
Kimmy
