    good afternoon pareng YUM YUM, here's my contribution to this thread.

     

    SINGAPORE - January 21-24, 1992

     

    My first of two trips to Singapore and my first trip overseas. Left Manila at 6:00 am with my colleagues. My first glimpse of Singapore outside the PAL plane window reminded me of the picturesque images found only on hallmark cards. Tropical pine trees queue up the runway of the Changi airport. Rows of violet orchids decorated the hallways of the airport. I was already in a state of astonishment upon seeing the airport’s high-tech facilities and I was even more astonished upon seeing the lush greeneries of Singapore’s big metropolitan landscapes. We registered at the Apollo Hotel located at Havelock Road for our 4-days stay.

     

    We took the ECFMG – Basic Science component test on Tuesday Jan. 21, 1992 at exactly 12 noon at the World Trade Center Singapore Expo Hall 7 3rd storey – main podium located at the Maritime Square. After 5 hours of grueling test we headed to the Singapore Cruise Center located at the ground floor of the WTC and went to Sentosa Island via ferry boat. The distinct aroma of Thai food at a diner inside Sentosa was truly enticing. We were able to catch the “Dancing” Musical Fountain presentation by Marlboro, a dazzling display of lights and water synchronize to the rhythm of the Marlboro music. With the fiery sunset behind the fountain show, it was a sight I won’t ever forget. We rode the Sentosa Cable Car and enjoyed the breathtaking nighttime view of the busy Singapore city and its flickering horizon. Visited the Sentosa Aquarium Ocean Park We were thinking of spending our time in nightlife Singapore but the scheduled phase II of our exams the following day won’t permit us.

    After a hearty Eat-All-You-Can breakfast at the Apollo Hotel restaurant we headed straight to the World Trade Center for our ECFMG – Eng. & Clinical component test. The phase II of our test was more punishing and exhausting but I won’t let that ruin my enjoyment of Singapore. After the exams, we visited the Guinness World of Records Exhibition located at the ground floor of the World Trade Center. We then proceeded to a nearby MRT (Singapore Mass Rapid Transit) station with fares ranging from 60 cents to 1.50 Singaporean dollar in circa 1992. Visited numerous places such as Orchard Plaza, Mount Faber Park, Raffles Park, Botanic Gardens.

    Tuesdays with Morrie

    The movie version of Tuesdays with Morrie came out before the book itself became very popular. I remember seeing this in HBO about 2-3 years ago. Jack Lemon played Morrie and Hank Azaria played Mitch Albom.

     

     

    I'm looking forward to watchine Lemony Snicket's Unfortunate Series of Events
