i woke up at 12 noon with a headache. being single (away from family) yet married can become torture. i have 3 days without work. yesterday i braved the sales and today i spent half the day sleeping and half the day walking around Bedok Central. having nothing to do or nothing to do anything with can be ultra boring. i did the laundry yesterday but the day proved to be longer than i thought so I went to Expo and today, i decided to walk around Bedok Central. The first thing I did was check out the fish soup. First taste, hmmm, not so delish but after i poured the chili with sauce in and it blended with the milk, i found myself devouring every fish slice and slurping the soup as well as sweating like hell in the sweltering heat. i also drank sugarcane juice. yumyum. i better try the fish soup in the other kopitiams nearby. i ate the one in front of the bus interchange. after that i walked around and decided to check out the Bedok Princess Cinema. was it just me or is it that the cinema entrance is nowhere to be found? anyways, i went to the Bedok Community Library. The library was vast. there were 3 floors of books. i found myself leafing through a magazine and sat amidst old people reading books until this inconsiderate Chinese gay started fanning himself with a newspaper loudly and throwing the other parts of the newspaper on the table and on the floor and never bothered to pick it up. i felt the urge to swat him with the magazine i'm holding. so i left and went to check out the other floors.
the first floor was vast. i was surprised to see a lot of people spending time at the library. there were people of all ages. i will take my daughter here. i know she loves books. i am overwhelmed by the Singaporeans' love for reading.
this is where Zoie and I will spend our day. the 3rd floor is filled with children's books. there's even a toddler's nook.
this is the toddler's nook.
i spent most of my time reading about Singapore. okay, i read about Canada first then found a more interesting book on the country i live in. i then looked at the time and was surprised more than 2 hours have passed. i've never spent this much time in one place before not counting the sales and the grocery.
speaking of grocery, i went to buy food at Fair Price. The prices there are super cheap. After that i walked around and toyed with the idea of getting an iPhone not that i already have budget for it. heehee! i then became busy finding my way back. i always get lost. always! even in the Philippines, always! aaaarrrggghhh. okay so i went to look for the curry puff store and ended up buying 5 pieces and mistakenly ordering teh c which turned out to be hot and after paying and asking the cashier if the milk tea was cold she looked at me as though she wanted to hurl the hot milk tea at me. this language barrier kills me sometimes. anyways, i drank it with straw and shared a table with an old man. i liked looking at old people in Singapore. they all look so healthy. so i did consume 3 pieces of curry puff after telling myself that i was still full. after that i saw a store selling bags for just $5 and bought one. great ending. i also called my husband overseas. hmmmm...
