von's freshman roommate, whom i've met once before, is suddenly a diplomatic attache in brunei and taking time off from work to visit our sunny island. von is of course in cambridge so ever the gungho tourist guide i think i'll take him to the two acms, (which will take two whole days) the sam, the esplanade, a walk through the civic and financial district and dinner at laupasat. and a bumboat ride to kallang if he wants to be touristy. also on the touristy list of things to do - night safari, which thanks to the ndp discount booklet i've got a 30% admissions discount voucher for. and then probably train rides and lrt rides to see the new towns and hdb heartland etc. is that enough for 3 days? probably. planning this just makes me wish more that some of my own friends would come visit though. i shall send out invites.
