This is the reverse bungy, I’m sure you’ve seen them before - three of you sit in a cage which is then launched into the air! I really enjoyed it and you got such a great view over the city.

What was I thinking???

I was feeling brave after my attempt at trapeze so I decided, or rather was talked into trying reverse bungy. I was absolutely terrified (as you can see from the photo taken before we went on).

Chocolate buffet - yum yum!

On Saturday night I went to a chocolate buffet at the Fullerton Hotel. Anyone who visits Singapore should definitely try it! There was a chocolate fountain which you put fruit and and marshmallows into (as you can see in the photo). There was also lots and lots of different chocolate deserts and about 20 varieties of hot chocolate just to top it all off. My waist line is rapidly expanding!

This is me with Helena and Jean, they are also on their electives. They’re from King’s in london. Helena is actually from Brunei and Jean was born in Singapore. You can see the Merlion in the background - this is the national emblem of Singapore and has the head of a lion and the body of a fish.

There’s an outbreak of dengue in Singapore at the moment. There are about 500 new cases each week and there are 5 children with it on the ward i’m on. It’s carried by mosquitos and can be very serious so i’m using lots and lots of insect repellent.
