Bristol Day 32











I was told I am slowly turning English because I always talk about the weather just like the English. Weird isn't it? I guess because the weather is so terrible here that it always get talked about. Thankfully Singapore's weather is just perfect. Really perfect.

Why perfect you may ask. See, we can control the temperature because we have climate controls in our cars, homes, offices, malls and especially on our public transport. When I was using their 'underground', I was perspiring so badly because there wasn't any air at all. It was stuffy and when I looked around, I seem to be the only one dripping perspiration. I guess the people here like it warm and stuffy. The same went for the bus I took back from London. There was no air flow.

Maybe if I stayed here long enough, I too will hate the coldness and enjoy still air but for now, Singapore's weather still the best. The only thing I would likely miss here is the 'free food' and maybe the casinos but we'll have that in Singapore soon anyway.

Lunch was Mexican tuna sandwich at Cafe Amore once again. It is either Shanghai Nights or Cafe Amore. Even though we are right in the centre of the 'city', we have limited choices for nice food around the work place. Maybe because we are spoilt and didn't want Macs, Burger King, Subway or KFC.

There isn't one single day where I don't think of home and the food that is offered in Singapore. The entertainment along Clarke Quay, the comfortable walkways along Orchard and the temporary not-so-pretty Sentosa. Missing it.Maybe when I am back in Singapore, I should head to Amara Sanctuary with Sandy and our baby to take a walk. Maybe stay a night too. Well, let's see what happens because when I am home, I rather be sleeping on my own bed than any other hotel bed.

Dinner was at Masa. Had a not so delicious Oyako-don but a yummy Uni sushi and a Kirin beer. Love it!

You know what I should do this weekend? Skip! I haven't used the skipping rope just yet. Haha. I need to shed off some fats I have been gathering all these while.

And yes, there are some pretty working Japanese ladies staying in the apartment and I bumped into them this morning. Young working ladies. What a good start to the day ... now I know why I smiled the whole time even though the day at the office wasn't so pleasant. Let's hope to see them again tomorrow. It sure will lift my spirits. Better if I could date them for dinner. Haha.

Kidding my dear wife. I was only kidding. They were Chinese. Yahooooo!!!
