Hello CBD!

I am back to CBD finally.

New job. New work. New task. New life. Rediscovery... Even after a wrong choice... wrong decision...

So I am working inside a skyscraper building now. I even have a welcome sign!

Trying to stay positive. Didn't expect I will be going to River Safari again and it's this Friday!!!!
I went to meet up with Florence today at 100am, didn't expect there was a buffet in the office as well, was planning to go to Pita & Olives, thought it was level one and couldn't find; it is located at level three when I searched again on the web.
I might be going there tomorrow or I might go to The Bank Bar at Asia Square for some vodka. :)
I have been praying a lot. I went to Thian Hock Keng Temple ever since I started my first job there. I already have a feeling there, hence I will still go back to pray.

Fact is, I have been thinking a lot. I will see where life takes me in the upcoming months. The person once cared for me has left, the other one as well. The last one told me he cares from the moment we met, but he doesn't care anymore. He has been too busy occupied with other stuff.
I realised I have been trapped in this African's doctrine that is where I will never get out... Heinz... Fayssal...

Guess what? I am also going back to Marina Bay Sands! I just love the happy moments there that I once shared with Fayssal.
For me, Marina Bay Sands will always be a very special place in my heart.
In fact, I was there yesterday but I forgotten to bring my camera.
I have decided to be bold enough to walk further in to explore the views and the buildings there The Promontory at Marina Bay. I am not sure why the river is pretty polluted and has a strong smell though and I thought I saw fish!

Whenever I see these tall buildings, I would look at them and tell myself not to go back as soon as I can. I just want to stay there to look at them as much as I can. The night view is even better I guess or vice versa. The night view showcases the light and the Wonder Full which would reflect from the buildings. In the day, I would be able to see the buildings clearly. 
Wondered if I would be able to stay here someday, after all, there's already a feeling for me in here.

Not sure if I would have the opportunity to go to Spike Asia this coming Sunday. I am going to ask for it again tomorrow since I already emailed Laura today. Otherwise, I would be deadly depressed.

The Night across Marina Bay Sands

Busy day.
I wrote in today and received an email from Rachel asking me to get down in the evening. Finally got to see her in person. I am really hoping for good news.
Well, I met a new friend a two weeks ago. We actually went to Sentosa together. He is from Armenia and his name is Vahan and he is such a funny person.
Not trying to stay negative, but I believe our friendship would not last long, despite going out almost every day.
I just want a normal friend, a friendship, I believe it is difficult to find one. An acquittance once said to me that I don't have to look for the right one but I just have to be the right one.

After I met Rachel, we went down to Thai Express at The Esplanade. Luckily I called in the morning to reserve the Mango Sticky Rice and Avocado Milkshake, otherwise, they were going to tell us that it is out of stock, just like the other week.

Mango Glutinous Rice
Mango Glutinous Rice S$6.80
Kway Teow Roll with Minced chicken and tofu
Kway Teow Roll with Minced chicken and tofu S$10.30
Dark Soya Tofu
Dark Soya Tofu S$9.30
The menu states Tofu but they shouldn't put this. It is misleading because it is tokwa and it is obviously different from tofu even though they are the same species.
Craypot Glass Noodle
Craypot Glass Noodle S$15.60
Well it was very oily with just one crayfish only. Generally it is not worth it. 

I had Avocado Milkshake and he had Chiangmai Mango smoothie.
This was my second to Thai Express there, the waiters and waitresses are too busy and always serving us the wrong food haha. I don't really like it but the food are average. I just like the location and the crowd of course. They are hard working people.
But I have to agree with Vahan that Thai Accent is better. Unfortunately, they do not have Avocado Milkshare and the Mango Sticky Rice is always out of stock.
And my god, the total bill was S$64.03. The next time when we go out, I will definitely not going to order so much! Yesterday we went to Sushi Tei and it was S$50+ because he said what I liked I can order and I ended up ordering so much, just like now haha.

Then we went up to the rooftop of Esplanade to see the beautiful night view of Marina Bay Sands as well as the buildings across.

Very beautiful!!

The Buildings in CBD Singapore

Every time when I walked pass here, I will always think about my happy moments with Fayssal. I really wondered what he was doing at that moment. Four hours of difference...

Nescafé Alegria

Nescafé Alegria- What does it mean?


souvenirs from nescafe algeria


Saw it at Wendy's Lau Pa Sat for the first time and reminded me of F.

A distributor passed it to me again at Amoy Food Centre yesterday.

Does that mean it is a signal that F is coming back?

But what does Nescafé Alegria really means?
Coffee beans from Algeria?
Why didn't they brew some coffee for us?
Why did they just give us the advertising tissue packs and notepads?

Later, I found out it's the brand of the coffee machine from Nescafé...

The Haze in CBD

Yesterday was worse, today is better now. 
Suddenly, the haze has gone up again, according to the PSI Index(Pollutant Standards Index). From 98 to 108.

Could you see the building clearly?
It's difficult to breathe. I am wearing a mask to work everyday now, until the haze has gone. I am asthmatic.

The haze was being spread from Indonesia to Singapore since yesterday morning. It was the cause of deforestation by Indonesia.

Man, our climate is changing, Singapore is getting hotter, uneven weather as well. Can't people be more kind to our earth?

I didn't even have the chance to go to Marina Bay Sands as well. Saw on Yahoo News, the haze was much worse there. I don't understand why people could still breathe and went for a good swim there.
