After my Singa experience.. there's not so much things I did for the past few days. My weekly Pampanga trip became a routine and that of the daily work out and super early morning shift.
I am struggling with my trying-hard-to-be-fit as possible. I am getting huge by the minute. Eating home-cooked meals are so hard to resist. My summer activities are so much hectic that I couldn't figure how am I going to make everything's possible.
My Bangkok tour with Jette is still on hold though, work issues. Issues that makes me stressed out and make my nights sleepless. I am worried, not just for my career but for my reps as well. Some of them got their own family and that they needed the job so badly.
I may be going to "Hundred Islands" by mid-month of April, right after the Holy week. I wouldn't have any activity this coming holy week. It has been a family custom that holy week should not be spend on any vacation but rather finding it solemnity as a time to reflect.
But above all these activities, I still long for one thing....

celebration..
28th Birthday in Singapore...
March 5 (8:30pm)
First time to ride a plane alone.. and 1st time to go outside the country.. I was anxious but it was great.. as they say, there's always a first time..
I arrived at Singapore at around 11:55 pm. Alain picked me up at the airport.. but before that, the immigration officer from the SINGAPORE government is very strict,.,,. but I remained calm.. but deep insisde it was nerve wrecking.
Singapore is a very clean and organized place. No smoke emission from the vehicles, no traffic, no people scattered along the public road. It was quite serene but the city is still very busy and awake amidst the time.
This country has been a home for 3 diversed but co-exsisting race of Indians, Malay and the Chinese. Filipinos play a big part of the multi-cultural Country too. Several skilled pinoy's are almost everywhere.
We went to his apartment and he toured me around the vicinity. The place looks fine but I still can't get the feeling of being outside my own country.
March 6 (day 2)
It was a busy day,. we had chinese breakfast and we ride a bus wherein you just have to swipe a card. Then we rome around the city. We went to these huge malls. There were so many of them that famous and expensive brands are very much available almost everywhere. We went to this famous Orchard road, the Marina Bay, China town, Esplanade, Durian buidling and a lot more..
At night, we went back Burgis mall and watch a movie by TIM Burton, "Alive in Wonderland". It was in 3d and it was a good one.
Everything is expensive, from cigarette, to the fare tickets. The things I bought for pasalubong are all expensive but everything is worth it.
We had a last stop at this fancy place.. and painted the town red.
March 7 (day 3, birthday)
The weather is very humid but the wind continuously blows towards the horizon. After our bountiful indian/chinese meal for our lunch, we went to Vivo City. It was another high-end type of mall where all signature and leading brands are sold.
We went to this "FOOD REPUBLIC" and I was in awe because of the it's theme. It is Old-style Chinese village. I took a lot of pictures.
We then bought a ticket for SENTOSA and one for the main attraction of sentosa which is the "Songs of the sea". to go there, we had to ride another train but it was made mainly to bridge the mall to the Sentosa Island.
unfortunately, Universal Studios Singapore is not yet open. It is still under construction. Resorts World, on the other hand, is already in full operation. There was a HUGE Merlion is situated between the Universal Studios and the Sentosa beach.
I felt like I was in the Boracay when we've reached the Silosa Beach. It has white sand and a couple of resorts ans bard. Amazingly, unlike Bora, it is just man-made.
We tried this SKyline and LUGE.. it was a cable ride and at the end of it, you'll drive back with this ala-go kart,, it's called LUGE.. that's all I can say to describe it.
Finally, we watched the "Songs of the sea". It is a combination of fireworks, water fountain and visual laser lights all in one. It was such a nice presentation.
When we went back to the mall, we had a fine dining at this "Fig and Olive" to at least celebrate my birthday. The food was succumbing that I forgot that I was on a diet.
Went home by riding this interconnected MRT.
