Rivers, stars and happy things.
OK, I haven't posted for a very long time. There are a number of reasons, but the main thing is sianness and worry over work. There. It's too mundane, dreary and terror-inducing to go into, so I won't.The reason I am posting now is that a number of nice and happy things happened recently that are worth commemorating. OK lah, not so formal, but you should know what I mean.
Firstly, last Sunday Anlin, Qin and I met up for light lunch and heavy knitting at Boat Quay. Boat Quay! It must be one of my favorite spots in Singapore. OK, definitely in the top 3. I wanted to take photos but the sunlight was blinding (it being 12 noon and all), but it felt good on my pasty lab-skin. I admired Sir Stamford Raffles (white) and meandered around to Raffles Place MRT to meet Qin after parking the car (driving! another pleasure). We then proceeded to Genesis Health Food Restaurant (must promote) at Circular Road, where we had really good scones and toast with alternative kaya made from - you'll never guess - pumpkin! And coconut probably. But it's supposed to be low-fat.
We then went to TCC at Boat Quay to meet Anlin for knitting. The TCC there is really really nice, with beanbag cushions and low coffee tables so you can lounge around, a good thing if you're going to be doing 2-3 hours of knitting straight. And it's pretty quite and not very crowded, so no guilt over table-hopping. Nice drinks too, though expensive. It was really fun to be so crafty, and it feels good to knit for a friend too! A worthy, quirky friend who triple-majored in physics, psychology and philosophy, who told me to just look at the stars, and I'll realize that the petty, silly issues I get worked up over are just... too small to bother with. I do look at the stars now, every time I walk outdoors at night.
I also finally managed to meet up with my independent friend, last night, in a super out-of-the-blue, spur-of-the-moment outing. Ha. Sometimes spontaneity is better. Two sides of the mobile phenomenon, and all that jazz. =) But it was really fun. We watched a movie which was... good, and thought-provoking. More on that at another time! Waha.
