My roots in Singapore

Made a detour from my home trip and came down to Singapore for 2 days. Nothing much has changed since I left 2 years ago which is the way I like it. Everything runs smoothly - public transportation, services, etc.

Yesterday I had a pampering day with my good friend. We started with lunch at Raffles City Shopping Centre (so much to choose from). There I witness something that is so inherent of Singapore life - queuing up for freebies, even though Spore life is living life on a fast pace lane, the locals still find time to queue for a good whole hour to get a freebie like a cone of Ben & Jerry ice-cream. Thankfully the profile of freebie hungry people are mainly teenagers or senior citizens.

After a sumptuous lunch of roast duck & chinese soup, Amy brought me for a haircut at Bugis. Haircuts here or in Malaysia are so cheap and they are so good churning out hairstyles that takes years away from you. Now I look like one of the Hong Kong girls, a trendsetter, hopefully my clothes isn't going to give me away, they aren't really trendy, just functional!!

Then if that's not enough pampering, we went for a full body massage at the Traditional Massage at the Javanese Hut on River Valley Road. In between all these places, we zipped in and out of public transportation of train and taxi smoothly without any glitches which is really what I love about Singapore.

I am so glad to catch up with Amy, we are both at similar stage of our lives. It helps to know I am not alone and my smart friend never takes any problems in life lying down. She is a fighter and witty. So I was absorbing all the knowledge and learnings she was willing to impart. Hopefully both of us will be on our on way to victory!!
