Ahhhhh. Nothing like good ol' teh


there're things that I'm finding really endearing in Singapore. simple things - simple, beautiful things. A man checking on his rows of chicken eggs in a van; an old lady packing my 1kg of mangosteens; coffeeshop uncles gathering around for kopi and late night chats; cheesy beer girl outfits that probably once received flak for 'indecent' exposure and so have been through moderation, with confused results; the fact that life really centers around food, etc. I guess things don't have to be complex even though it's a city with materialism scribbled all over the pavements. If it's one thing I find repulsive since I'm back, it's a mega shopping complex. But aside from that there're lots more things here, and going to Changi chalet this morning was entirely refreshing. The sea, the trees, the rain, the breeze - I sat on the sofa of an open-air sitting hall, soaking it all in. Singapore can be really beautiful this way, I thought...
