Singapore Trip

9th April 2006 (Sunday)
I managed to sleep reasonable ok the night before and had to drag upself up and out of bed miserably at 7am. After breakfast at home with my parents, Eeyore came to pick me up close to 8am and off we began our journey.

Of course, at first I was feeling really excited at the thoughts of going away on a holiday with my boyfriend, enjoying the fact that I won’t have to think of work at all for the next 3 days. Andrew stopped by Seremban to pick up his parents, have more breakfast there, then proceeded to drive down to Spore.

Upon reaching Spore about noon time, we went to his sister’s in-law’s place in 6th Avenue. Huge house, even more grand then big aunt’s place in Spore that I felt I was entering some sort of mansion and didn’t dare to touch anything in it at all. Just sat for a while then off we went to have lunch – Chicken Rice.

After lunch, we stopped by few shops to find Andrew’s winter clothes. Walked and walked and walked…it’s either dun have the design he likes, or don’t have his size (what to do…he is huge in size). I also was initially psyched at the idea of being able to carry Tina’s daughter – Celine and bring her walking around and to play with her while Tina and Andrew go choose for his winter clothes. That was INITIALLY. After a while, my arm starts aching, until when I put Celine down on the floor, my arms felt numb. I couldn’t feel my fingers, and I cannot even lift a cup with my left hands, it just kept shaking.

Shopping for clothes just felt like a short while, and very quickly, dinner time came. We had seafood dinner with Tina’s in-laws near this sea-side. The food and all was ok, just that there’s a lot of flies around. Then also it was open-air, it felt warm and we were sticky as we haven’t bath yet.

Anyway, after dinner, it was back to the in-law’s place. As Andrew wanted to stay at the in-laws place to watch football, I followed tina back to the Cheshew Height apartment to send her parents back to rest first. I took a quick shower in the Apartment, then followed her back to her in-laws place. I sat in the tv room and watched football for 2 hours. The 1st hour was torturing.. not bcos it was boring or anything, I didn’t mind watching it, but cos my shoulders and left arm was aching so bad that I find it uncomfortable to sit in whatever position. And Tina’s brother in law & his wife was watching the 1st half match also, so I cannot fidget too much. Overall, I find that watching football is not bad. Exciting when it’s about to goal, but then again…2 hours is a long time. Feels like very waste of time. Cos after the 2 hours show, you don’t gain anything from it. All you need to know from it end of the day, is how many goals they scored. Haha

Anyway, by the time we got back to Cheshew Heights, it was already 1am. I didn’t manage to sleep yet, read some comics, fidget around in my bed rolling around, listen to my mp4 and somehow fell asleep before 3am.


10th April 2006 (Monday)
By the time I was awake enough to open my eyes fully and get myself out of bed it was already close to 9am. I heard Andrew’s parents voice outside my room, and just remembered that Tina gave me a tin of milo for me to give her parents for breakfast the night before,wich I just put it in the paper bag. So I had to get myself up, to go take the milo for his parents, then went to bath.

After bathing, I went into Andrew’s room to bug him to wake him up. I didn’t feel like having breakfast alone with his parents and since I’m already awake and bath already, I didn’t know what to do. Halfway poking him, and trying to get him out of his bed, I can hear his mom knocking on my room door calling me for breakfast. Anyway, I still was left to breakfast alone with his parents…bad eeyore.

By the time he woke up and everything, it was already close to noon. Tina prepared Joshua to go school and after he was sent to school, Tina took us to a shopping complex all with IT gadgets. Walked around in the complex until about 3pm where we had Burger King for lunch. I don’t quite remember what else we did or where we went, but I know very fast, it was already 7pm and time for dinner. Ahh, I remember now, after that late lunch, we went back to Cheshew Heights to rest. His dad went into the room for a nap, Andrew also went into his room for a nap, and I went into my room to read comics. Halfway I dozed off, and while I was asleep I know Andrew came to off my lights for me. After that short nap, Tina came over with Joshua and we went out for dinner.

All I remembered from this Spore trip is, none stop eating. Eat and eat and eat. Probably cos it felt like time flies by too soon.

After dinner, Andrew’s parents went back to the apartment, and Andrew & I went to the night safari. That was the only place where we had time to spend alone together. But he was also tired, so he wasn’t too enthusiastic. But nevertherless, I enjoyed myself. Found it to be fun and exciting to be exploring the zoo when it is dark. There was a section full of bats and flying squirrels. That was really interesting, cos at 1 point, that Flying squirrel flew down so low, that I thought it was gonna hit Andrew’s head.

We finished touring the zoo about midnight and got home close to 1am. Same cycle happens, read some comics, and then go zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

11th April 2006 (Tues)
The day where I have to return back to KL and go back to my daily life. Groan. Time really flies when you are enjoying yourself. Again as usual, I tried to wake Andrew up, but failed. And it was raining outside, no point waking him up early also as we can’t go for a swim outside. So I went back to sleep, planned to sleep until Tina comes over with breakfast and wakes us up. Halfway dozing off, I kinda heard my door open, and sensed someone beside me… turns out to be that Hypo Andrew. His turn to come and wake me up.

Morning was spent in the apartment only. Tina tap au breakfast again. After breakfast it was just sitting around, watching tv while Andrew fix joshua’s pc. It was also his mom’s bday, so we had a cake to celebrate for her.

After Tina sent Joshua out to school about noon time, she tapau lunch back for everyone. After lunch we started our journey home. By the time I got back to PJ was about 7pm already. Dread going back to work the next day…but what to do, time never stay still for anybody.

Overall, it was a great trip. Just a trip to get away from work and to just relax, get away from everything here in PJ and just take it easy there.
It wasn't like what I really imagined it to be.. you know, like gf's and bf's going out on a holiday, should be filled with romance and all that. This time around, it just felt like a holiday, a family holiday with his family. But whichever it was, I was glad I went, and happy to take a break away from work.
