ChinaTown

Work these 2 months is not too bad. Having some problems with one of the SC in my division. super attitude problem, but guess i'll just take it with a pinch of salt. Going overseas soon.. Whhheeee! off for 3 weeks. Guess it's a much needed break from harsh reality. Would be going to Prague for mum's company function first. After that its to Paris and Lourdes before embarking on a Scandinavian tour for the next 2 weeks, before ending off with a two nights free-and-easy in London. I hope to hit broadway to see some plays, and see Pires or Henry in action! But that's not possible la, they're on holiday now. So i'll come back on a sunday in the evening, before reporting for work on Monday, with the jet-lag most probably killing me alongside the monday monday monday blues. Looking forward to it though, even if it leaves me with only 3 days leave for the remaining of the year.

Had lunch with Mum at China Town yesterday. As she had to leave for a seminar in a hurry, i was left alone and decided to take a walk along Chinatown. I felt so like a tourist in an unfamiliar place, with shops and things that i haven't seen much of before. Worst still, when i came to Ann Siang Hill, i felt like i was overseas already! Liking that feeling, i just walked and explored the whole area, seeing shophouses and unopened pubs all around. I even saw a couple in their matrimony suit and gown taking pictures at vintage shop houses. From china town mrt, i landed up at tanjong pajar mrt. Actually, there's alot to explore at along Tanjong Pagar mrt as well, a whole street of solicitors and even a whole stretch of delicate cusines. From Korean restaurants to Italian to Western restaurants, from fling pub to devils pub, from bridal studios to lawyer firms, the area around Mr Chia Ann Siang's Hill is certainly somewhere that is lost in the midst of busy busy Singapore, where people would rather head to prominent hot spots like Orchard or big mega shopping centres co-located with mrt stations, never knowing that there exists this little area rich in history and shops and eateries.
