My first day in Singapore, even though I was still feeling under the weather, I decided to check out some restaurants in Singapore’s waterfront. This site had many excellent restaurants to choose from. While on the Internet, I also found a site the said many of the malls in Singapore had walk-in clinics, and with me feeling worse everyday, but, I really wanted to just explore the waterfront and first.
After a nice Metro ride, using my tourist pass, I arrived at the downtown waterfront. I spent hours wandering around, and seeking refuge in the shade of the tall buildings, which make up the downtown area, and slipping into the air-conditioned malls. There was so much to see, I wish I would’ve done more diligent research before I went sightseeing, because I feel I’m missing out on some very essential sights. I didn’t find any so-called ‘clinics’ in the malls, and by the time I was ready to eat at one of the restaurants, I was feeling somewhat weaker; the heat wasn’t helping, so I headed back to my hotel.
After a very confusing time trying to find the Metro again that when I finally found a station, I discovered that I had lost my transit pass. Needless to say, I had a small meltdown. Defeated and full of self pity, I went down to the train area and became disoriented, I caught the wrong train, then finding the right train and eventually, I made it back to the Little India section, where my hotel is located. Fortunately, one of the restaurants on my list was in Little India, and believe it or not, there was a small clinic only a few doors down. See, I didn’t have to leave my area at all! I could’ve stayed right here all along and not had to go through all that frustration earlier.
