the one thing i miss abt singapore, the tropical wet climate. Am i crazy? no am not. Let me explain why; singapore is home to some very natural tropical fauna and flora. The first thing i notice when i got home this time were the trees. The many many trees that each and every one of us singaporeans took for granted every day as we commute from place to place. There is really an incredulous amount of shady greens everywhere-i dont know about everyone else but im guilty as charged for taking it for granted when . Now that i live in dubai, i learnt that its not a common sight - that which we have in lush green singapore. i promised myself before i went back that i will do the nature thing in singapore- cycling , trekking, hug some trees. And i did. and i realized i miss it sooo much. The humid, mositure saturated air was good for the skin and hair too! Most other climates sap the moisture right out of your body and a moisturizer becomes, not a matter of vanity, but a necessity.So going back to singapore this time was in itself a natural spa retreat in itself. Rejuvenation baby!
On friday on the week that i was back, i went to sentosa, the ever changing recreational island with fai. fai's a dear buddy of mine. We were chums since 17, hanging out at void decks doing nature trekking explorations and other ridiculous spontaneous activities. So this time with this unnatural bruther of mine, we try to relive the good old hang-out days. Rented a bike and did the trail all around the island. Here were some pictures from the trip.
