Do you think I am happy?

After an entire weekend of fun (or should I say a month of it) I am slowly coming to terms with the fact I have to leave Singapore soon.
In less than a week I will be on a plane to Istanbul and then Sarajevo leaving everything I love here behind and working on my plan to get back here as soon as possible.

We decided not to go to Malaysia, figured out we will do it the next time I come, which will hopefully be soon.

We cancelled the trip because of a party that was organized, a welcome party for the new DHL coordinator here in Singapore, Anne. It was lots of fun.

The day started with us going present shopping in Chinatown. I could have stayed there all day long. It was fantastic. We say the biggest Hindu temple in Singapore (which is believe it or not in Chinatown) and went bargaining wherever we could. I was happy coz I got all the presents I wanted and threw in a few things for myself (even though I promised not to buy myself any more things).

The day finished in MOS (Ministry of Sound Club) in Singapore after the welcome party and us dancing to various beats until the wee hours of the morning and then eating at the only thing that was opened at that time: McDonalds.

Waking up late and missing breakfast with friends was the next thing that happened on Sunday (hmmm) noon and then we took a cab to Sentosa – the Southernmost Point of Continental Asia; it is an island located at the very South of Singapore and facing Indonesia. You can actually see the country only a few meters away.

Playing like kids in the sea (which, by the way is nothing compared to the beaches in Thailand and the sea is highly polluted because of all the ships passing by), taking train rides around the island, visiting the Underwater World Center and visiting the night fountain show.
We took a ride to Mt Faber (the highest point in Singapore) via cable car, which goes all the way above the city and into this fancy restaurant we had drinks in overlooking the city. Veeeery romantic.



Ever since I came here, every single day has been different and amazing.

Snorkeling in Thailand, watching French movies in a Singaporean cinema, seeing controversial plays mocking the government policies, eating in Chinese and Indian restaurants, bargaining at stalls in Little India and China Town, keeping myself from buying anymore shoes, getting lost in a Pioneer Center at the end of the city, meeting strange, friendly people helping me get around (even though it is very easy it is still nice to meet people and ask for help when in doubt), drinking tequilas in a Mexican bar, meeting people I only know through their blogs, taking a zillion pictures of every single wonderful moment, cherishing every second of pure happiness.

Life is indeed beautiful.
