Singapore for the weekend!

Last weekend we went to Singapore, like we do occationally;) Or something!
We arrived late Friday afternoon, after some lovely days in Melaka(we actually saw a few museums and ruins and churches and an indian festival and a chinese festival in the streets, a lot was happening there!)
The bordercrossing went well, and the bus took us all the way in to Lavender Street. From there we walked to downtown, looking for 1) a bank, we had no singaporemoney, 2) something to eat, as soon as we could find money to buy something and 3) internet, so we could find our couchsurfinghost for the weekend. We found the bank, and food(luckily, I was so hungry and angry I almost killed someone walking beside me.. You all know him.. Poor guy..) and finally the internet, just to find out it was a misunderstanding, and we suddenly didn't have a place to stay for the weekend.. So we walked for maybe 45 minutes more, and found the guesthouse that was housing our friends, Taylor and Ayumi:) So before we found a place to stay, we had been walking, with our backpacks for 3 hours! Exhausted! Ate and went to bed.
Saturday: Spent the entire day with Taylor and Ayumi, was at Singapore Art Museum, saw some really interesting stuff, I think we spent maybe 6 hours there or something, some of it was really good! Gripping:) And then we had Hokkeido icecream, maybe the best icecream in the world! It was good! And chinese for dinner..
Sunday was similar, indian breaktfast, a big park and a long walk, another museum, Asian Civilisation Museum, also interesting, but I finished maybe 2 hours before the others, not that interesting.. And then we saw Rock On, a Bollywood movie in the night, hilarious!!
Monday K and I went to Orchard Road, the big shopping mall street, a street with shopping malls lining up next to each other! Singapore is a lot about shopping, so we just had to see it, since we were there.. Didn't buy anything, so it went well:) Not that much money left.. Just enough to a cup of coffee and a magazine, and then the day was perfect:)
Tuesday we headed out of Singapore again, and this time we had to press our thumb against a glassplate and it took a picture I guess, so now our fingerprint is registrated in Singapore.. Scary..
