Singapore is never a stranger country to me because besides spending most of my lifetime in my homeland, the next country that I stayed most of the time is Singapore.
Singapore to me is really a love hate thing. I love the nonstop development of the country’s facilities, the cleanliness and definitely the safety of this fine city. but I hate the ever busy human traffic in every corner of Singapore, from the neighbourhood foodcourts to their famous shopping malls and even all the bus stops and taxi stands…. forever jam packed, forever long queue, forever no space of privacy.
last Friday was our company d&d, we started our journey way early in the morning and only be able to reach Singapore on time. long story bout the journey but I do not want to start ranting bout it here. the paintball session was just so-so as the field is quite small and not much action needed. in fact I walked out from the 2 rounds of battle with zero injury. yeap, never got hit at all! but the fun part was… my team won the paintball fight! woohoo… now you know who can really kill so don’t fool around with the SHAM team hehehe… the d&d was fun too although my lucky draw prize is just SGD50 shopping voucher :(
well, I decided to extend the weekend in Singapore for our bitches-bitching-rendezvous. initially thought of just camping over at Kitty’s place but ended up we checked into this chic new boutique hotel,
The Quincy Hotel. hope we didn’t make a scene when we checked in with our ‘back to school’ costumes :P the hotel was superbly great! the room, the bed, the pillow, the quilt, the shower, the Molton Brown amenities, the free flow bar and lays, the complimentary wine and cocktail, the food, the coffee, the 24 hours DIY ice cream, the steam room, the pool… alrite, the pool is a bit too cool because the sun can never shine onto the pool... and they even provide free imported Japanese cup noodle for our supper. really nothing more I can ask for except that it would be best if they can control the pool water temperature. we spent every single second in the hotel without stepping out and totally no regrets at all. worth all the single cents we paid although Kitty and I did complain it was a tad too expensive earlier. well, now we just can’t get enough of it and we felt so heavy hearted during the check out :(
besides the comfort of the hotel, I really enjoyed our chatting/bitching sessions. I feel good after pouring out and what more to people who are either going through the same shit or at least they understand the shit I’m going through is really the best remedy for all my whining. and of course, it did widen up my perception after hearing their part of stories too. I guess it’the saying of the grass is always greener on the other side is true until you step in and realize that it’s not any greener than you thought it was.
I feel honoured that you all are willing to share your stories with me… everything from work to family and relationships to even personal thoughts and philosophies too. I always think that it is good to hear other people out in order to understand your ownself even more. hope we can have more chance to have this foursome rendezvous again :)
thanks for all the early xmas pressie and I really love each and everything I got as much as I love you all! it may be a bit too early for now... but i would like to wish everyone a merry christmas and have a jolly jolly time with your love ones...
