recession? what is that? by musicarousel


I brought my grandma out today (:

She spent more than S$500 in two hours.

Conclusion: I cannot be blamed for shopping a little too much sometimes. After all, it is in my blood.

here we come a-carolling

we're here to spread the festive good cheer!

did something new and enjoyed it

i am officially one giant step closer to one of my "Before I turn 30" To-Do items (FYI, i blogged about it on 03.09.08)

6) Dine alone in a fancy restaurant and enjoy it.

to enjoy being alone...not because of unforeseen circumstances like a friend caught in traffic, but because one is able to survive and indeed, enjoy, without the usual, typical habits of depending/interacting with others...i think it takes a very confident, self-content person to do that.

so...inspired by a friend's innocent remark, "you're alone now? what a loner!" i was travelling on the MRT after shopping with friends...so there was plenty of time to conjure plans up...and ta-da, i decided to experience going out by myself...just because i've never done it before.

of course shopping or movie-watching do not qualify for this concept because these activities are rather engaging and do not require much company. i chose to go to the Botanic Gardens because there would be lots of time to think and to be with myself. *oooomm...namaste*

here are the beautiful momentos:

frangipani in the loveliest shade of pink.
i wonder why they are associated with pontianaks, the opposite of the gentle beautiful flower.

so, where to?

i randomly picked paths and ended up at a place my friends & i failed to locate in previous trips (which were all cut short because of bad weather or time constraints) - the Orchid Garden!!!

this shower of sunshine has a beautiful name that i cannot recall at this moment!

student's admission fee for the Orchid Garden: just $1
for the rest of Botanic Gardens: a healthy pair of feet

so i enjoyed it (: that was a new way to enjoy a day!

so, how about you?
are you ready for an adventure at the Botanic Gardens?
try going there with yourself...and maybe you'll discover beautiful places too!

michelle in singapore (:

michelle!! (:
woman, you have been ignoring our plans to jio you out for a meal!!

something i would love under my christmas tree - lots of candy and maybe even a cute moving toy train!
