Bag trouble, Singapore and Kuala Lumpur

SO when we arrived in Singapore I was told my bag hadn't 'made it' on the flight and it was coming on the next one so would arrive a few hours after me at my hostel and I was given 100 Singapore Dollars compensation, pretty sweet! However, I woke up in the morning and my bag hadn't arrived, so I phoned the office and they were very vague but basically I was told they didn't know where my bag was or when I would get it! This was a HORRIFIC thing to hear! There were tears!
We got up and went out all the same, with my extra 100SGD burning a hole in my pocket I bought some clothes from this Australian shop called cotton on, nice nice! We walked down Orchard Road, the main shopping area in Singapore until we reached the botanical gardens which were nice, as you'd expect! lol. All the while we kept ringing the office to find out about my bag and didn't get a straight answer until about 11pm (after having been for tapas and wine!) when I was told it was coming on a flight tonight! So the following morning I woke up and had my bag back and it was SWEET, especially since that was the day we needed to take more malaria tablets, all of which were locked in my bag!
We spent the rest of the day at Singapore zoo, which was equally as amazing as the Australia Zoo, the ethos was a little less cool but the massive variety of animals was amazing! We saw orang utans and spider monkeys and another kind of monkey with a MASSIVE nose, and many many more! After the zoo closed, we went to this thing called Night Safari where you ride on a tram through these enclosures and see loads of nocturnal animals there were lions, tigers, a tapir and loads of other stuff including the biggest species of rodent in the world!
The following day we ambled around more of Singapore and went to this place called the Mustafa Centre where you can get EVERYTHING!
Yesterday we got a luxury bus at 8.30 upto Kuala Lumpur, the seats were like business class plane seats and we had TVs and were served a meal! lol. We arrived in Kuala Lumpur and checked into a room, our first private room since Japan! Its about 5.50GBP each per night, not too shabby! However, the shower is just a showerhead in the wall of the bathroom! lol.
Tommorow evening we're on a flight to Langkawi, an island just south of the Thai border!
