Made it to Singapore and enjoying my time. How was the flight over? Did you get over the visa incident? Had a few people reach out to commiserate, empathize and sympathize. Off to Universal Studios Singapore AGAIN! Did we get all the rides in? YES! Well… I did. The gf’s niece and sister didn’t want to go on the super fast rides, but we went on a few of the moderate ones and the big screen rides as well. A few shows, but Waterworld is closed until the end of December. Despite what I said yesterday, none of the rides seemed closed today, though the Battle Stare Galactica had technical issues throughout the day which meant they closed… then reopened with much shorter rides.
