Trip to Singapura

At last, after 48 years in this earth, I’ve travelled to another country, not a state, not a province, another country and so far it has been exciting.

The plane ride was a bit choppy, don’t know why.  Maybe to get here we had to fly over Victoria, Western Australia, Christmas Island, or I’m just a bit paranoid in planes… Anyway, we are here..  From the airport we checked in at Holiday Inn at the Orchard City Centre and off to the Night Safari.  WE were picked up by a shuttle van which stalled in the middle of the highway.  The driver was apologetic, but what could we do.  In just a few minute the van started again and we were off.  We arrived at the Singapore Flyer where we were met by our tour guide (yes we had a tour guide, feeling tourista talaga)

The Night Safari tours included a buffet dinner (ours anyway) and the dinner was fantastic, or maybe I was just hungry.  After dinner we went straight to the tram for the tour itself, the tour guide was trying to get us in front of the line, but that is another story.  The line to the tram tour was so long it reminded me of the time I got in line to get pizza when we went to see Jack Johnson at the Domain in Sydney.

Finally getting in the tram we took the tour which lasted for an hour and finally sat down to have that world famous Singapore Sling for $16 (a bit expensive but paminsan minsan lang naman).

Then back to the hotel and off to sleep at 11:30 pm, 2:30 am Sydney time.

and the adventure continues….  :)

John Lennon

Sad to say, our Christmas Party, wherein, we were suppose to portray recording artist from the 90’s and older and perform a song made popular by the artist you are portraying (ang haba!!!  I’ll just call it, costume party), toned down to a simple Christmas get together.  Some are busy, I know I am, but I was willing to do a John Lennon.  Some are just lazy, I know I am, but I was willing to do a John Lennon.   Some just have no idea, I know I’m oblivious, bit I was still willing to do a John Lennon.

Enough of John Lennon... Maybe Next Year, when you think of another theme, I’ll still be doing John Lennon.

Kidding aside, we have to step up next year... and then I could do my John Lennon.

Energised!!!

It was Monday morning, I was awakened by a loud emergency siren, it was one those alarms you hear when a submarine is sinking, why I chose that alarm to wake me up.  To tell you the truth, that sound knocks me off my senses.  It was like somebody getting you out off bed with a slap.  But that is not my story.

My story, is my Saturday.  Without any alarm, without anyone nudging me off, I wake up at 5:30 am, make my first coffee provided by pareng George (I’m a proud member by the way of “Samahang maseselan sa kape”), then start my Saturday morning walk, 5 kilometers back and forth, more or less.  To be specific, I walk 2 and a half kilometers to Mcdonald’s and 2 and half kilometers back home.

Honestly, that long walk to get breakfast, is more filling than having it home.  VICTORY!!!
