There was some political change.
The Workers' Party gained a little ground over the People's Action Party (PAP) in Singapore's 16th parliamentary general election on May 7.
Minister Mentor, Lee Kuan Yew; Senior Minister, Goh Chok Tong; Transport Minister and Second Foreign Affairs Minister, Raymond Lim; Deputy Prime Minister, Wong Kan Seng; and National Development Minister, Mah Bow Tan stepped down.
The weather didn't change.
It was still hot and humid, but a few times it rained very hard. So hard, it felt like it was raining inside.
Vesak Day was observed on May 17.
Happy birthday, Buddha.
Construction was happening.
The Subway sandwich stand moved to a more spacious facility on the other side of the SMU campus but is still in walking distance from the Hotel Rendezvous.
Every floor of the Hotel Rendezvous was being renovated, but excessive drilling only happened between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m.
MDIS, Dhoby Ghaut location and Plaza Singapura were also getting facelifts.
Premiere Football is moving from Orchard Central Mall to a mall across the street that also has "Orchard" in its name.
There's a new bus stop in front of Dan Ryan's, 91 Tanglin Road.
A Popeye's Chicken is now open in Cathay.
Spices of India is now closed.
North Face in Suntec is now closed.
Balaclava is now Tang Dian Wang Shanghai Restaurant.
This Month's Find: Tanjong-La
Not as busy as Palawan and Siloso Beach, Tanjong Beach is a relaxing change of pace from an otherwise hectic Singapore.
The Tanjong Beach Club is an excellent place to have dinner. I recommend the seafood sampler, a smorgasbord of delights including oysters, salmon, prawns, lobster, and crab. Muy delicioso.
Then after dinner, try hanging out with friends on a cabana and enjoying drinks while listening to somewhat decent music.
More importantly, you don't have to wade through tons of puking partiers when you go to the bathroom. Gracias, A Dios.
