My Name is Khan, Alice, SINGAPORE

Apologies for the lack of blogging (uh oh.. naughty me) but I'm back now.. ;)

I've had a wild past few months which consisted of: University exams, assignments, SINGAPORE! and fun gatherings!

Before I go on blogging about Singapore, the most amazing place in the world, I promised some review

s on My Name is Khan and Alice in Wonderland.

My Name is Khan is a bollywood film but I would recommend it to anyone! It was like no other film in bollywood Shahrukh Khan's acting was superb, which made the film, I think. His ability to act in any situation is incredible. The cha

racter he plays, Rizwan Khan, has autism. SRK definitely manages to fulfil the role with such excellence and never disappoints!

What would a bollywood film be without romance? I know I had said it was like no other film but would it be a bollywood film if there wasn't romance? The famous couple Shahrukh and Kajol are reunited in this film and the story of their love pulls across the whole film.

The music was something I noticed straight away, there were such beautiful songs, they are so uplifting and fit the film so perfectly.

Alice in Wonderland bored me, I'm afraid. I always say "don't have high expectations because they're likely to be crushed.. If your expectations are low you'll only gain and not lose", honestly, I had no expectations and I still felt disappointed. I did however LOVE Johnny Depp, he never fails to amaze me but that might just be because I'm a fan. Other than that.. thumbs down from me.

H e l l o ? !

Right so let me start by saying I wish I was still there.. I'd move there.. I mi

ss it.. I fell in love with the place.. INSTANTLY.

People have "good times" and then there is "oh my gosh good times" and then up a few levels where you think you're in paradise and all of a sudden it's.. Singapore

Let me paint a little picture for you all..

beautiful people, beautiful buil

dings, beautiful scenery, beautiful houses and apartments, beautiful pools, beautiful skies.... I think you get the idea

Singapore is an amazing country with so much to see and do!

It's so clean and strict that you'd never feel unsafe.

I think it's probably easier if I posted a photo..

This is

the business district (can I hear a WOW?!).. Everywhere you look in Singapore you see men and women dressed up in office wear!

The shorter building with the

red and white brick in the middle of the photo is a hotel.. The hotels are so luxurious! This particular hotel is the Fullerton.

Opposite the business district

across the water is the new hotel, Marina Bay, which was opening whilst I was there! (See

My favourite time in Singapore was Chinatown shopping, in the little time I had (5 weeks didn't seem enough) I visited Chinatown four times! I loved the oriental feel and the items that you can purchase! I had my palms read and I had my name written in mandarin on a fan.

I loved everything about Chinatown. Singapore is generally quite an expensive country but if you go for the local things like food and souvenirs, it's really good value for your

money!

I could go on and on about Singapore and how amazing it truly is but no one will ever understand unless they visit themselves.

A few tips:

* Do not forget your camera!

* Try at least two spas!

* Get pampered!

* Dont forget the sunblock (temperature of up to 40 degree celcius.. you're going to need it along with a fan and a hat!)

* Be prepared for humid hot weather and the occ

asional tropical thunderstorm.. bliss!

* Visit Clarke Quay for the ultimate night life

* Try a Singapore Sling (drink available at most bars..)

* Visit Raffles hotel, that is if your not lucky enough to be staying there!

* Take a trip to Chinatown be prepared to be in awe!

* Visit a Mandhir and a Buddha temple.. absolutely beautiful, such intricate work has been done to each building it's fantastic

* Try the local food

* Splash out at a restaurant!

* Check out the music (mtv asia!!)

* See as many malls as you can, each is different but each have a range of different shops and spas!

* Check out the City Link Malls!

* Get your hair cut in Singapore (I got a ten dollar hair cut and loved it!!)

* See a skin specialist - they're known to be amazing, only if you need to! - Costly!

* Drink plenty of water.. Singapore is way too hot and much too fabulous to be getting dehydrated.. I'd like to say they must be famous for the isotonic drink 100 plus!

* Orchid street is the place to be for the top designers stores!

* Get something tailor made.. a chinese Kimono maybe?

* Visit Little India

* Go to the beach, hire a bike? jog? run? you won't be alone that's for sure

* and finally, have fun and spend as long as you possibly can there!!
