Panaginip

Today, I pretended that I was a rich but lonely heiress. That I had everything that money could buy but yet I was all alone in this world. Hahaha! Only because when I was swimming  in the infinity pool of the gym, I had it all to myself. It was also as if I owned everything I could see from the all-glass wall of the penthouse where the pool was. Hay! Masarap managinip paminsan-minsan.

Takot ako sa crocodile!




We went to Crocodylus Park and Zoo to look at the crocodiles. Didn't know that holding them was part of the deal. Shivers!!! The kiddos had no fear in handling the baby crocodile unlike Tita Jang who could barely touch the reptile.

Mindil Market




The last of many markets I visited (take note, I did not shop in all of them) in Darwin. I enjoyed looking at the crafts and the food stalls. People come to the Mindil market also to view the spectacular sunset while having a picnic on the beach. Haven't seen this many people on a beach at any one time!

Darwin Museum




Unfortunately, no photography allowed inside the museum!

Dinner with the Fernans of Darwin




Singapore Art Museum




Walked about 2 hours all over trying to find this place. It was sure worth the sore feet, missed lunch, and unexpected tan. It's a small museum but with a good collection of local and regional artists. It's also very well-maintained.

The Kiddos




SAM Art Garden




Breakfast at the mall




McDonald's at Causarina Square

Room 209 in Footprints Hostel


It's the artwork on one wall of my room.

From EDSA Shangri-la Hotel to Footprints Hostel! Aaargh, like sliding down the scale from 10 to 2.5. But hey, from not having to pay more than Singapore $60/night, bought myself some Scholl slip-ons that cost even more than the room. : )

Singapore on foot




Walked from the Little India area to the Singapore Art Museum and back. Sure way of discovering out of the way places and getting sore feet, of course. But if I didn't particularly like visiting Singapore in the past, this adventure just made me change my mind. If and when I get another chance, I'm sure I'll enjoy discovering more sites on foot!

The Casino




No, didn't play at the tables. Instead, gambled with the chance of not gaining more weight after a sumptuous buffet at the casino restaurant. I probably lost that bet but discovering wholegrain mustard with roast beef sure made me feel like a winner. Burp!

Darwin come true

A few months ago, Darwin was just a glint in my eye, an exciting posiibility. And now, I'm here! It pays to work hard to make your dreams come true.
