I traveled to Singapore with the thought that I would only spend my days staying indoor. I didn't want to explore the area cause I lacked enthusiasm and willingness to get myself into more troubles. Not to mention, Singapore is closer to where I am based thus, there will always be more reason to fly. This travel was equal to romancing in Paris. The shimmering city lights, romantic restaurants, and bars- gosh I spotted a bar with classic books on its shelves. It gave me such an orgasm. Book + Spirits, what could I ask more?.
It was sort of my summertime romance. I had burst of pleasure only by standing in front of the window glass, watching soft glowing light and sun sinking beneath the horizon. More on that, I found my private sanctum amidst the bustling city. If heaven exist, perhaps it was that. I was simply flying on a cloud nine with this kind of view.
What makes the trip even better was I was accompanied by G, who took me places walking through North bridge, Stamford, Espalanade and even Fullerton. That night, I was on some kind of drug. I was captivated by the beauty of its simplicity and reflection of lights through the Singapore river. G and I walked from tunnel to tunnel, laughing to each other jokes and my brain was sort of disconnected. I was fascinated, both with the city and its people (red: It's actually G).
Most visit this place during midday. They took selfies just so they can tell " I was here". But, there's actually more, more deeper meaning than just a statue. Have you read the Ulysses by the Merlion?
I fall in love reading Ulysses by the Merlion.
It tells so much about the country's history, wishes and dreams. If you visit this place, take a moment to read the poetry that you can find just around the bridge. Read it and you will somehow get a glimpse of Singapore's history.
Then, It was time to go. G and I walked to the apartment with sparkle in my eyes and tiredness in his. I told G that it was such a bad idea to take me around at night. I am a nocturnal, I function normally when the sun is out. However, we ended the day with delicious egg paratha. Such a joy that night.
