We were done with dinner at Jewel @ Changi around 7 pm and what and where we ate is a story for another time. There is a sound and light show each night at intervals from 7:30 and I had to persuade GG & BB to stay on for it. We walked to level 3 from where we would take the exit back to where we had parked and it was already quite crowded. I checked and found that the show was only five minutes long and so managed to persuade the children to stay and watch even though they were quite tired. The show was good and I recorded it. Here are some shots of the more dramatic visuals.

Crazy Rich Asians – Kevin Kwan

16085481

When Rachel Chu agrees to spend the summer in Singapore with her boyfriend, Nicholas Young, she envisions a humble family home, long drives to explore the island, and quality time with the man she might one day marry.

What she doesn’t know is that Nick’s family home happens to look like a palace, that she’ll ride in more private planes than cars, and that with one of Asia’s most eligible bachelors on her arm, Rachel might as well have a target on her back.

Initiated into a world of dynastic splendor beyond imagination, Rachel meets Astrid, the It Girl of Singapore society; Eddie, whose family practically lives in the pages of the Hong Kong socialite magazines; and Eleanor, Nick’s formidable mother, a woman who has very strong feelings about who her son should–and should not–marry.

Uproarious, addictive, and filled with jaw-dropping opulence, Crazy Rich Asians is an insider’s look at the Asian JetSet; a perfect depiction of the clash between old money and new money; between Overseas Chinese and Mainland Chinese; and a fabulous novel about what it means to be young, in love, and gloriously, crazily rich.
