Singapore's Tallest Lady

Feb 16th. After spending some time looking around the main shopping district, I head into town to meet a friend from University - Sonia was in the womens basketball team that I coached for several years. We met at Newton MRT station and went to the renown Newton Food court for some food Singapore style. I let her decide what we were eating (with a bit of trepedation when she asked how I was with chilli), but really enjoyed just about everything. The highlight of the dinner was the Chilli Stingray - fantastic and highly recommended. We also had grilled squid (with chilli) which was a bit chewy but good. I drank some sugar cane drink and we also had some local desserts. A pint of kilkenny from one of the trendy bars at Clarke's Quay washed down the food. All in all a cool night and great to catch up.

While Sonia was at Uni, Singapore ran a contest to find the tallest lady in the country - the winner turned out to be 5 foot 10 - Sonia is 5 foot 11. Gutted.
