Singapore weekend (Nov 9-11, 2012)

Earlier this year, I watched the Carnage movie staring Jodie Foster, Kate Winslet, Christoph Waltz and John C. Reilly which I found interesting and funny.  Then I learned that Manila would have the play, starring Lea Salonga some more!  The Manila run did not fit my schedule so I thought that was it.

Until I saw an online ad saying there would be a Singapore run in November. Yipee for me!  So I started planning.

Ravi was on business travel during that time and he agreed when I got his permission to watch it.  His only condition was for us to be back before Deepavali (November 13) so his mother would not be alone.  It turned out that his cousin, Ongcara, picked up Auntie the night before we left (November 8).

I brought Sarah and Esther along.  And we ended up doing a tourist-attractions marathon on our 3-day stay.  I planned our itinerary pretty well so we were able to cover the basic tourist traps haha  The pictures below speak of our Lion City adventures.
