Christmas Is Still the Same This 2011 - An Early Christmas Post

Just the thought of spending another Christmas away from home saddens me. What's worse is that I might be working the whole month of December (with my usual one day off a week, of course). Well the worst part of it all is that it might be the second year in a row and I'm not doing anything about it.

More like I can't do anything about it.

A Barrage of Stars

Apart from the view of the city from the Marina Bays Sands Sky Park and the dizzying height of 1 Altitude Bar at One Raffles Place, there is one unexploited (well, unexploited by tourists) place in Singapore with a breathtaking view of the city's skyline: the Marina Barrage. 

It is actually a dam with a park on it's rooftop. On any given day, it is a regular park full of families and youths having picnic and flying their kites. But I would think it's best to go there at night where you can see the city lights from afar.

Sribbles on Tattoo

At last... Another nonsense post from me after all these months!

I just got back from my holiday in Phuket (I surely had a lot of firsts in this holiday) but getting a henna tattoo isn't one of it!

When I looked at my first beach henna tattoo, I realized what a typical, boring person I am as (1) I got a boring looking tattoo and (2) I had it done on the same part of my body-where no one will be able to see it, not unless i wear a tube or tank top all the time, which i rarely do.

So here is what a got then and now...

Got this one in my first Puerto Galera (Mindoro, Philippines) trip with the guys. 1st weekend of May 2007. I think I got this one for less than S$10 (Php 250 - I think)

Happy Valentine's Day 2011

I was about to post a "single" quote on Facebook but decided against it as everyone on earth might see me as bitter and lonely and sad. I am not. I am in love with the idea of love (Yes, I'm a hopeless, really hopeless, romantic), I know I am loved and I am full of love. So I'll post it tomorrow and leave you all with this:

That Lone Woman In The Movie House

The (lonely) woman in the movie house.

Earlier she was wandering gingerly around the mall, not knowing what to do or where to go. She's done this before. Most of the time actually. Go to the mall, window shopping alone. Dine in a restaurant, enjoying a sumptuous meal (or so she thought) by herself. Watching movies in theaters, alone. Yeah, she has done that gazillion times. She's been doing that even if she has friends that she can call to go with her (or maybe none because she's frequently accompanied by friends Me, Myself and I).

She wonders why most people don't want to eat alone. She wonders why some need someone else to accompany them to go somewhere, do something. Doing things by herself makes her responsible only for herself, rely on herself, decided on things according to her liking and benefit and if something comes bad out of it, then she's the only one to blame, she's the only one who will suffer the consequences.
