Today is an off day - in more ways than one. It is also a day where I dont plan on leaving the house and want to be in jammies *all* day. The last bit never happens - since I am always showered and "proper" before 7am!
Its a nice raining, gloomy Saturday - all things that make me feel fuzzy inside. My thoughts turn to this city that incurs my wrath whenever I get moody. Bottomline though : I like Singapore. Not because of any particular reason, but this is the city that has given me SO much. I truly believe that you recieve whatever you give in return and the people here have been nothing but kind and generous. I have never encountered rudeness or mean-ness in this city as a whole. We quite literally are in the middle of South East Asia. To juxtapose the fact that this is our region together, we are so different and yet so similar. There is a sense in this city that you are surrounded by so many countries - it is a feeling totally lacking in my "other" home of Australia (and I dont even want to think about how lonely the kiwis feel). I havent come to any firm conclusions on this, which is a good thing. I think "love" is too a strong word to be used for Singapore. The highest state one can reach here is that of "comfort" - it is comfortable.
Anyway, let us bow our heads to the cool air that graces our cheeks this morning. And a huge thank you to my legs for giving me a day off :-)
