| Could be almost anywhere. |
Just walked around the waterfront area. Not too much to do there if you aren't going to Universal Studios or the waterpark - which I already knew from last time but Jason wanted to go for some reason. Ended up at Siloso Beach, so hot without any shade around. Waited for the bus to Siloso Point instead of walking all the way to the end. They had some dirt bike (sand bike) course built on the sand, the bikes were just getting stuck in the sand though, they weren't very good.

| Think where we'd be without sand! |
Got some lunch before leaving Sentosa, just missed a heap of rain but it only lasted a few minutes, not a big deal when it's hot anyway. Got the cable car all the way to the top of Mount Faber, walked along to Henderson Waves and back, so many steps. Final cable car trip back to the beginning again at the harbour.
There wasn't enough time to go exploring in Bukit Timah forest, maybe next time. Instead got a train to Jurong East, which is actually to the west, the train was really slow. A quick detour to IMM Outlets but I knew what to expect - that's right, Nike only had size 12 shoes! I was just looking for some shorts anyway, but didn't find any. The Adidas store was garbage, one of those places where they only have small or extra large for sale.
Running low on time, hardly had time to get some dinner and didn't get to walk past the Chinese or Japanese Gardens on the way to the soccer stadium.

| Is this the Chinese gardens, or Japanese gardens? |
The match was Albirex Niigata vs Hougang United. Albirex was the home team, like a satelitte youth team for a bigger Japanese club. We just walked in the first entrance, somehow everyone else seemed to know this was for away fans, but at least it wasn't as full. The only problem was the visiting fans had some drum kit they were playing non-stop, so bad for my ears which don't like loud noises anymore. The quality of the teams wasn't terrible, they just had no ability to create chances when attacking. The home team had won 30 home games in a row, but just barely got a 1-0 win with a free kick goal towards the end.

Got a stream going for the Red Bull Wings For Life run, on at a slightly better time in Singapore than Melbourne. Hadn't considered running in it though.
