Discover Singapore with the Historians
It's been some time since I last blog my laundry list blog :) Life's been a bit more busy and also, the technician at the Prolink support centre pronounced my modem beyond hope. Sooo...gotta shift to wireless or something soon. Procrastination rules, especially after a whole week of staring at the PC screen.
Anyway, life's been cool, though ordinary by any standard. Work is still ok; been making frens with the colleagues. We went for drinks, pool cum ktv session last week. They also went elsewhere, which I didn't go along. I am holding Master's at bay for the time being due to my health and because I am still uncertain of what to take.
I lost a lot of weight because of my medical condition. A disturbing phenomenon, but lets see it positively. Many women will die for this; being able to eat as much as you want and still be reed-thin. And I may never be this skinny post-child...muahahaha.
Anyway, some historian chums and I have been establishing this sorta explore-Singapore thingie on Sundays. Perhaps we may end up doing some video trails of it! Heehee :) Anyway, yesterday's session brought us to Pasir Ris Pet Farm, because of us mutual desires to buy/ adopt dogs. The Pet Farm actually consists of an entire group of pet farms, which range from dog farms to fish farms. While there are no real exotic breeds to be found there (not after having been to the Jakarta bird market with all its poachings for sale!), we had oohing and aahing at the animals, especially the dogs, and pointing out which ones look like which potential buyer hahaha. I shelved the idea of buying fishes for my pond after seeing the price for the koi fishes: $188 for 5! Not a fishy person too hahaha. Will probably adopt a dog from SPCA as I don't mind mixed-breeds and the price for a pure-bred is pretty hefty.
The Express then took us to Changi Village. We started by taking a leisurely walk on Changi beach overlooking Pulau Ubin and Pulau Tekong. The place has changed quite a bit since I last came in... JC? They have built a kinda jetty to board the boats in, complete with waiting lounge, a minimart. Had Persian food for dinner, which was just ok especially in comparison to our wonderful North Indian meal two weeks ago. Feasted on the satay while waiting for a suitable time to check out the tranvestites. Some historian got such a kick out of thinking whether he will be invited to our classmates' weddings and who he wish to invite to his! Tsk tsk :)
Anyway we left too early and did not manage to catch any transvestite on our way home. The drive around Changi was cool though, especially earlier on, on the expressway just beside Changi airport runway. Don't I just itch for my own Jenn Express now, for that 150 km/h drive heehee... Saw the S'pore version of the Bridge (or rather jetty) of Sighs, the SAF Ferry Terminal where the poor NS men catch the ferry that ship them to Tekong. We saw the former Changi Gen Hospital, the site of the massacre during the Japanese Occupation, reputedly haunted, on our drive home. It gave us the creeps even looking at it. Felt a bit nostalgic with the Changi Prison parts, where I went for an interview with Prisons some months ago.
Thus concludes the 1st blogged version of the trio's Discover Singapore with the Historians session. I am JW. Thank you for reading my blog!
