This afternoon I went for a trot in the local neighbourhood - which is supposedly Singapore's answer to London's Hoxton. Kinda nice actually; there was a cool breeze, tropical birds whooping in the trees, and I enjoyed the little side-streets of this area. I visited the apparently famous forty h4nds cafe (yes, a small mocha was the equivalent of around GBP3.50 - Singapore is no giveaway!) Service was slow, but the mocha and ambience were good. Also popped into the Books Actually boutique opposite - books really are expensive in Singapore btw, around twice the price of the UK's!
Afterwards: off to the local mall for some basics in the supermarket and a little mooch around..
