We spent our day walking around the Botanical Gardens here in Singapore. 
Very nice way to spend the day. The weather was perfect, a little overcast so it wasn't too hot... but no rain. And the best part about it... more flower pictures!!!We had a great suggestions from a friend who used to live here to check out a restaurant for lunch. 
It was down in Chinatown so we got to see some of that part of the city as well. We have been all over the place here. The best part about it is, the country is so small we can practically walk anywhere we want to go and get there within 20-30 minutes. If we are too lazy or it's too far away they have an amazing bus system that we have become pretty good at as well.
After our second day here, we still believe this is the cleanest city in the world.
They have white buildings that are the purest white we have ever seen. No sign of pollution or litter anywhere. The only downfall about that is, there are fines for everything. Smoking, chewing gum, spitting on the street, eating on buses... and it just goes on and on. I guess that is how they keep it so spic and span!
We actually got ourselves all dressed up last night. Well when I say dressed up, we took showers and applied a bit of mascara. haha. but it felt great to be out of our travel clothes and not looking and smelling like rats for a night. We went to the famous Raffles hotel to have the famous Singapore Slings. They were totally over priced and very very sweet... but "When in Rome" right. We realized how spoiled we were at all the other countries before this. Drinks there start at like 10$. We are so used to getting them for 50cents, it's hard to get back to reality with money.
