Lovely Sentosa

Been caught up by work and school recently and hence not able to blog more often. But I guess I'm gonna have to stop work soon. If not, I really cannot catch up with my studies. But work has been really fun and liberating.

Recently, I find myself zoning out VERY OFTEN. I could board a bus, ride on the 20min journey, alight at my bus stop and walk home without knowing what I have just did. When I got home, I can suddenly 'wake' up from my spacing out session and wonder how the hell I did all that without thinking about it. Its actually quite dangerous because I don't even remember how I cross the road. It is like you switch off the manual mode and turn on the auto mode where your body just do all those things for you and you just go along with it. Like you are a stranger in your own mind and your mind just does these things for you. What happen to me within that period of time is really strange. Because I don't know what I am doing or thinking. Or am i thinking of anything? It just kinda shut down. I hope it doesn't just happen to me but to everybody as well. I should really get more sleep.

Yesterday was a really long day for me. But I enjoy every second of it. I hit the beach again in the morning. And surprise surprise! The water was so clean. Yeah you heard right. The water in Sentosa is CLEAN! Oh my God, I should really eat my words when I always complain that the water there is poisonous. I was just lying on the mat and soaking in all the rays. And contemplating whether I should listen to my MP3. Thank God I didn't. Because if you listen really closely, you could hear the melodious surge of the waves when it hit the shore. Its rhythemic sound and motion put me in a trance and I imagine myself somewhere far away. After about an hour of day-dreaming cum suntanning, i went into the water to feel its embrace. That was the moment for me. (when my day just got started, how wonderful!) The moment where everything else just fades away. I may be there all by myself but that was enough for me. Thankfully i was alone because I won't want any conversations in the world to spoil the moment for me! I'm such an introvert! Hehe!

After that soul rejuvenating afternoon, I went back to TAS and met up with my 'almost but not there yet' cell member to catch up and went off to the airport. During work, I chat up with this very old man and he told me that he is 100 years old. My gosh! He went on to tell me about his life and how he fought in war and his post war struggle. I knew in my heart that this man live out his dreams and he would not regret his life even if he was to die the next day. He told me he intend to buy over some businesses from Philippines and intend to revamp and develop it. Oh my, he was speaking like he is some 30 years old man, full of drives and dreams! No one can beat that. Amazing.

At 11pm sharp, punched my card and went straight to town. Meeting my friend for a drink. We went to Rouge and stay there for the rest of the night till they close shop. Had very 'cultured' exchange when we started talking about Japanese language and the culture. Actually I felt that Japanese language is not very difficult to learn and their living lifestyle is quite similar to Singaporean. Not that much of a culture shock really.

The language that I most wanted to learn is Spanish. It was probably inspired by Dirty Dancing. Spanish is the most widely used language in the world besides English. It speaks like a song, sexy and passionate like a dance. I just know a few sentences like;

Hola, como estas? (Hello, how are you?)

Bien / moy bien (Good/ very good)

me gusta mucho (I like you very much)

Ono, dos, tres, cuatro (1,2,3,4)

Gracias (Thank you)

Si/no (Yes/no)

Ciao (Bye)

I'm so proud of myself! Haha... I'm taking baby step to learn it. Best to learn from someone rather than the books because most books are not very user friendly.

Ok, I have to get back to my project research.

Ciao~
