Dictating to this machine

This laptop has a system of voice recognition which I'm trying to use successfully.

However it is not very successful for me as it's still trying to learn my voice.

But it's still fun trying.

27th May - Singapore

Today we went to Marsiling Sports centre to swim a bit and then went to Clementi Hawker Centre and met Eng & Queenie for lunch, Jo-Ann had rice porridge and I had my favourite, chicken rice. We both had fresh sugar cane juice to drink.

Afterwards, we wandered around the IMM centre for a while, had a cup of coffee and then went to Jurong for some fruit where we met Eng's cousins Eddie & Kwan who ate us to the durian stall and picked two of the best durian to try.

Richard tried fresh durian for the first time and pronounced it excellent.

We also ate some mangosteen and took some home to eat in the evening.

The day was long and Jo-Ann is very proud of me for eating fresh durian.

25th May Sunday Singapore

Went for a great lunch with Kah Wan, Evelyn, Ashley, Eng and Queenie.

We had a buffet lunch at Kings Copthrone Hotel. It was a mixture of local food.

We ate far too much and had to skip dinner.

On the way back, we stopped at Causeway Point to check out the Crocs shoes and decided to catch a movie.

We wen and saw the new Indiana Jones - excellent, full of laughs.

20th -24th May Koh Samui

We went to see Carol regarding our arrangement to Koh Samui – an island off the east coast of Thailand. Carol is from Contact Travel, she is able so helpful with our travel arrangement. Then to we went to NTUC supermarket to collect our replacement suitcases. Ours was damaged coming back from NZ. We got 100 S$ as compensation whilst the new ones cost S$70.

In the night we flew to Koh Samui. This is a beach, good for relaxing, island.

Our daily routine was: had breakfast, set our towel on the bench. Went for a walk along the beach then went for a swim. Had lunch from the hawkers on the beach, mainly consist of sweetcorn, a coconut and a mango. Then went for another swim. Went for a Thai massage (about 4 pounds). Went back to the hut to read. Get dressed for dinner along the beach. All the seafood restaurant had the same thing. Prawns, king prawns, lobster, sea bass, squids, crabs.... You must know how you wanted it cooked. Very reasonable price for a great meal.
