Jurong Lake 5K (Sunday 07/10/2011) about ½ of the EAPSI fellows were recruited by Nicole to run the Jurong Lake 5K. My first road race ever, I was very proud of my 33minute finish time.
Botanical Gardens Later in the day on Sunday 07/10/2011, we decided to head to Arab street for lunch. Turkey Kebab is soo delicious J And then head to the Botanic Gardens located across the street from the US Embassy in the Orchard Road area. The gardens are absolutely stunning! Unfortunatley it was already 6pm by the time we got there, so we didn’t have much daylight left in the day to be able to take any really good pictures.
Altitude Bar and Lounge Monday 07/11/2011 a few of the EAPSI fellows decided to go for happy hour at probably the most amazing bar in Singapore, Altitude. Altitude is an upscale rooftop bar at the very top of One Raffles Place (63 Stories high). It boasts the most beautiful views of Singapore and let me tell you it did not disappoint. It’s free to take the elevator up to the bar, but you have to buy a $20 drink. While quite an expensive drink, it’s much better than paying $20 to go up to the top of the Marina Bay Sands just for the view. They had a great lounge band and overall fabulous atmosphere—I would highly recommend doing this if you are ever in Singapore!
