Singapore Hangover

It feels like a bad hangover. You wake up and your head is aching because of all the fun you had last night. Today you pay for it. But you know it would never last. You take a glass of water and a pill. Everything was a blur. It went by too fast. I missed Singapore. But now I’m back in the Philippines and I am ok with it. For the brief time I was there, I loved every bit of it. The walking without the fear of either getting mugged, assaulted, or robbed at every corner, how everything seemed to work from the clean public bathrooms to the clean everything. (I actually freaked out when I saw a fly!) I love the public transportation. MRT tap card, to how the cabs just instantly pick you up and no need to haggle over the price. (I just spent P200 going home from work!) I loved the food and how you can get Duck at any hawker center. I know I only saw a bit of Singapore, but from the tiny part that I indeed see, I knew I was smitten.

Coming home with so much memories and so little time to blog I cherish these little downtimes. I know the amount of work I have waiting for me on Tuesday and yet I welcome it. It seems a good little distraction to the timidity of life. The new friends I’ve fostered and relationships formed. SG nuffies thank you for everything. I will never forget you guys. I learned alot about how things get done as well as myself. (but that is reserved for another time) Thank you Singapore.

I talk about dreams and how quickly they fade from memory. Singapore seemed like one. It seemed like a quick dream where everything seemed irrelevant and I could just float on by. It seemed like I was in a perpetual cycle of sleep and lucidity and yet at one point I awoke and now I find myself slowly loosing the details of the dream. I promised to return. I will someday. When, that is the question. Should I return? I don’t want the dream that is Singapore to be tarnished by the harsh facts of reality.

And just like that, I start a new day with a hangover. My head hurts, my throat is dry. The price you pay for a few nights of pleasure. And yet, when the opportunity arises again, you know you are going to do it all over again.

Thanks for the Memories!

Thanks for the Memories Guys! Till next time!
