What I love the most about this country:
I have a lot variety of activities to choose, other than going to the mall..

Here are some of the place that I love to go to:
1. National Library
I'm referring to one specific library since this is the only library I've gone so far;p
National Library is the first public library I've ever visited (not only in Spore..but it's the first ever!!). I can just sit all day long there..reading all kind of books..enjoying the free wireless internet there.. It's amusing in its own way..Except for the fact that it's freezing over there hahahaha

2. East Coast Park
It's the same beach at which I spent my new year's eve. Lots of things can be done here..You can jog..bike..roller-blade. There are BBQ Pits that you can rent. You could play at the beach..build tents and stay over night..Lots of food place. I love the Stingray at the food court. It's not that expensive and so tasty..

3. Sentosa
Just choose how you want to go there. Again, lots of activities can be done here. Beach volleyball, frisbee, cycling, Luge and Skyride..What more could you ask hihihi..just don't forget your sunblock..

4. Esplanade Theatre.
Lots of performance to catch in Singapore..Ballet, theatre..you named it..I usually go here just to enjoy the cozziness of the library..and enjoying the view from the roof terrace.

And other places to go..
Botanical Garden, Singapore Zoo, Orchird Garden..

Unlike any other weekends, when I locked myself at home and try to get as much rest as I could..
Last weekends, I practically loaded myself with a lot of things..
Really happy though;p

Began with Friday..
It's a ballet performance night..
The title was "Coppelia" and it was performed by Singapore Dance Theatre..
I'm not going to write a full review upon this one, since Dennis has already written a really good one..You can find it in here

It was the first time for me watching ballet, and I have to say that I enjoyed it very much.
*I even already planned to watch Ballet Under The Star this May, Swanlake on December and Gisselle next March* hahaha

Rushing from the office, failed to complete my fasting that Friday (I wasn't suppose to eat meat, and I ate KFC out of rush hahahaha)..almost late to the theatre..
It was a day of fun;p
I slept at around 2am..after spending a quality time with my boyfriend over the phone;p

Moving on to Saturday..
I failed to wake up for the confession at 7am^^'
I went to Holl.V for breakfasat with ko Mar
Then went to drop a thing to my friend's place..
Did some shopping with Novi hahahaha *luv this part so much*
We managed to find some really good stuff with a great deal;p
*read: SALE* hehhee
After that, went straight away to Sentosa..playing beach volleyball with some other friends...
Went home feeling exhausted yet so happy:D

Then on Sunday..
As usual, I went to morning mass..Had a lunch with my friends then bought myself a new mouse *finally;p*
Previously, planned to go for another shopping session..but then I felt really tired that I went back and had a really good sleep..
Woke up at around 6pm..and rushing to see Sasa's choir concert at 8pm..
It was really good..

A bit about the choir itself..
It's a choir at the Cathedral of Good Shepherd in Singapore..
The choral director is Sir Peter Low, who's this year celebrating his 50 year anniversary of musical journey..
The concert itself is part of the celebration..
This is an article about the first concert held in December 2006
For those who's interested to see the choir yourself..
You could join the Sunday morning mass at 10am;p
*koq jadi promosi hahaha*

Well, anyway..
a new week has come..
Full of spirit..
Have a nice day everyone..

This is a true event

Yesterday morning when I was on my way to the bus stop, a man approached me and said: "小姐,请问"
which if translated means "Excuse me miss, can I ask..."

I looked at him, and then saw this big map he's holding..
then I said "oohh no no..thank you"

As I was about to walk away, I saw this little note on the top of his map which at a glimpse read "Kaki Bukit Ave 1"

So I turnt back to him and ask "Are you looking for an address?"

With such an effort, he tried to speak in English..
And apparantely yes..he was trying to find his way to that address..
I then explained to him that he could take bus no 15 or take a cab if he's in hurry..

Fast forward to this morning

I decided to come earlier to the office today.
I arrived at the bus stop at 8.45am, and a bit surprised to see how crowded the bus stop was.
What even more suprising was..
I met that man again..
He was there standing and smiling at me..
"Hi..thank you for yesterday"
Being polite, I asked whether or not he managed to find his way yesterday.

him: "sorry about yesterday, you seemed to be afraid"
me: "oooo no..i'm the one who's supposed to say sorry. I thought you're a salesman trying to offer something"
him: *laughing* "ooo the map is it?"
me: "yes.."
him: "you're chinese?"
me: "my grandparents are chinese..but I don't really speak chinese.."
him: "you look like chinese..especially your hair"
--errr...I don't quite get this part, but then I just smile hahahaha--

When I first came here, I experienced the same thing as that person.
Dressed in a formal outfit (since I was going to interviews) while holding a map..
It's really hard to find someone who's willingly to stop for a while and listen to what I wanted to ask.
When I approached them..Before I even finished my sentence "Excuse me.."
They just walked away with 'that' look in their face..
I thought what's wrong with me? I tried to be as polite and as friendly as I could..

As I spend more and more time here, I'm a bit understand why people did what they did to me.
There're a lot of salesmen and people who's asking for donation and stuff like that..
They dressed in a formal outfit..
Usually holding a map with a pen..
They're equipped with an incredibly friendly smile on their face..
And once you got caught by them, it's rather hard to walk away;p

Well then, everything happens for a reason..right?
