Let's see, it has been close to 3 months since I've moved permanently back to KL and to be honest, there are times while stoning in front of the PC that I realized, I kinda miss life in Singapore. All those long, peaceful walks to the MRT stations in the cool morning breeze, occasionally bumping into parents walking their little ones to pre-school. Sometimes taking the feeder bus as the station's located right in front of the block I was staying, the temptation was really hard to resist when laziness kicked in.
Braving the frequent and rapid but fully packed trains into the city, constantly crossing fingers hoping for the newer ones which are more comfortable and better ventilated, usually armed with my trustworthy Nintendo DS and Creative MP3 player while observing how everyone else is holding onto a PSP + iPod combination. Once in a while, a chick or two would appear, distracting your attention momentarily from the console's screens. Making my way to the office from the station through multiple walkways, stopping to get a dose of coffee as the aroma of freshly brewed coffee lingering through the walkways can be irresistable at times.
Lunch hour can be pretty hazardous at times, any places you can think of is just fully packed, like the chinese saying, people mountain people sea. And it doesn't help when seats that you thought was empty has already been pre-booked using a packet of tissue paper, something Uniquely Singapore. I would be earning a comfortable side income for collecting and selling every packet that I come across. Lunch can be a rewarding experience, young ladies all dressed up in formal attire, which is a plus point for me, in abundant, what better view can one actually ask for?
Dinner was either with friends (if its KYtheMonkey then its Carls Jr. for sure) or colleagues but most of the time alone, I have no problem eating by myself other than the occasional issue of lack of seats where I'll just do a take away or having difficulty in deciding on what to eat. Ah, the cheap kopitiam food that often comes in a huge variety, also the occasional food bazaars beside MRT stations. The rest of the night was either spent catching up on Singaporean drama series and other random shows or shopping for groceries or spending time in CD or book shops YES I am that boring because shopping is not my thing. Most of the time when Jacklyn was down here, navigating through Orchard Road from dusk to dawn, I just spend my time with the Nintendo DS, trailing her, its a win-win situation.
And those carefree weekends, if not working that is, spent splurging on buffets after buffets or movie marathons, not a blockbuster missed at any given time. Once in a blue moon we'll organize a trip to places of interest in Singapore, like Geylang, lols just kidding okay there's really nothing interesting over there unless you know what. Or else, just stay home and rot the rest of the day away doing watching TV, doing laundry and watching more TV. Oh, and I kinda missed those long bus journeys (5 hours at least) to and fro KL especially on Aeroline coaches because flights are deemed expensive, not by me just so you know.
Okay, I should stop here before someone got bored to death reading my adventure-less life back in those days.
