We love a good party! Halloween did not disappoint! The festivities started with a Spooky Lunch Buffet and a gorgeous sunset!

Video by another resident Laura D? Sorry if credit wrong ?!?

Then on my way to dinner, I ran into a herd, flock, pride or wobble of Ostriches?!? They appeared to take the elevator to Thistle so I followed them through the dining room. There were about 10 in number and they were squawking and pecking as they went by the tables of shocked residents. I followed them up to the Palms Cafe where they did the same thing but then quickly disappeared.

BORNEO ISLAND is a fascinating place, that I had honestly only heard of from the reality tv show Survivor. I'm still learning so much, but I had no idea it is the largest island in Asia and 3rd largest island in the World! It is a mini continent, with 3 different Countries sharing the island's land mass ( Indonesia 73%, Malaysia 26% and Brunei 1% ). We are only going to 2 ports in Malaysia now, one in each of the states of Sarawak and Sabah . Below is a video that highlights and explains thing well.

The Port of Singapore is massive and thus deserving of it's own post!
