What I actually wanted to say: Hello from the Inncrowd Backpackers Hostel in Singapore after a pretty tough night. No, it was not how you may think. I’m sleeping in a damn cold 10-bed female dorm. And guess what? The aircon wasn’t my worst enemy. I know – I’m a girl too and I sometimes talk a lot – but how can they be so disrespectful? I went to bed around 10:30pm and I was totally okay with it if it hasn’t been quite yet. But at 00:50am the room was still bright and the light was shining directly into my humble face. Oh and did I mention that everyone was talking like it was tea time in England? So I pulled myself together and stood up, asking politely – a little sarcastic, I confess – if they mind if I turn off the light. I walked back to my bed - slowly - by giving them the devil's eye. Finally laying in my cold bed, wrapped in blankets and a scarf, the room was now half dark as a girl was still sitting on the floor working on the laptop (I just hope she’s saving the planet – so it’s legit) It got more quiet but some of the girls were still talking – damn it. Because of all the stress I was suddenly wide awake. Around 2:30am the last soul found its way to the bed and finally turned off the light. Silence. Thank god... Until the alarm clock of a girl rang around 8am.
8.01am: everyone was happily talking again.
But enough of annoying stuff. It’s acutally pretty awesome here. :D
On my first day in Singapore I went to the Gardens by the Bay and had a totally nice day walking through hectares of beautiful flowers, trees and plants.

It was the perfect thing to do when you're jetlagged and basically just wanna lay on the floor and sleep. The atmosphere was relaxing but the walking more exhausting than expected. Maybe that's the reason why I fell asleep on a bench in the afternoon. Ooops. But after a refreshing cup of fruits (with a suspect little plastic bag filled with white powder laying on top of it... Okay, I'm definitely watching too many detective series xD) I was ready to discover the rest of this beautiful area.

| See? Very suspicious... xD |
Later more! (And yes I tried the white powder. Just a little bit. Could be sugar. Could be something else. xD)
