Singapore Spirits

Now, we love flying as a passanger in an airplane, even if it's for just a short while like a flight to Sporeland. However, there was a fleeting moment during our time in the air where we wondered if we were going to crash somewhere, but we just laughed at the thought after entertaining it for a minute.

Still, given such sudden thougths on mortality, we decided to do some be a bit more spiritual while in Sporeland. After all, it's not as if we're an atheist. And so our journey began...around lunchtime in Sporeland. But looking back now, our search actually could have started even before we boarded the plane!

First signs of the spirit: in the Plaza Premier Lounge at KLIA.

Free-flow Carlsberg tap. With chilled glasses in the fridge.

So during lunchtime, we were greeted by the spirits of rum and brandy, deliciously mixed in an eggnog.

We had four. And a white wine to wash down dessert.

Then there was IndoChine at night.

Instead of starting off with our usual daiquiri we tried some other cocktail instead (and since it was more or less quite a random choice we don't remember the name of it either), followed by a Koh Samui Island Tea. After that psike and us decided that it'll make more sense to just get a bottle of red. And we don't remember what we got really, think it was a Geoff Merrill Merlot 2003?

And we were comforted.

But how about for the journey back? What if something was to happen on the trip back instead of going there? We'd best covered all bases.

Absolut at SGD22.10, Baileys at SGD29.40.

But there were protocol to follow! Admittedly we either forgot about the protocol or was not informed about them. See how we depended on the duty-free shop assistants to enlighten us about the protocol.

Each passanger is limited to only 1 litre of alcohol duty-free, coming back to Bolehland.

Passangers have to have been out of Bolehland for 72 hours to be eligible to buy alcohol duty-free.

Alcohol will be sealed in it's own bag, not to be tampered with until you've arrived at your final destination.

The protocols sadden us greatly. But with all that alcoholic scrubbing the night before we should be angelically sterile clean by now.
