singapore days 1 to 5 March 7, 2008
so i have been here 5 days, 6 days. and i’ve done the following -
-shopped orchard road ( big time shopping strip)
-visited Clarke Quay (big time club strip by the river – huge tourist attraction)
-visited & ate in Boat Quay (big time restaurant wheel-n-deal strip by the river … a $200 US dinner was about $15 per person for 5 people after we ‘bargained’ a 30% discount and a free pitcher (or jug) of beer and a bottle of wine!)
-visited Harry’s jazz bar in Boat Quay – live jazz music
-visited Crazy Elephant in Clarke Quay – again live music – seat by river.
here are few shots – one from the hotel room window – the billboard i see from the window as i sit here at the desk typing:
then this is from Clarke Quay – the river boats:
and then i couldnt resist eating at a place of comfort:
memories February 24, 2008
leaving friday for singapore. will be there exactly 14 days. will spend the majority of the 14 days in the office. however, that time and the after work time, will be captured in this:
my original plan was to bring my full size journal. but its big and heavy and would have just gotten in the way. while at barnes and noble on friday night, i was browsing the journal section, figured why dont i bring a little one. can be for singapore only.
i love barnes and noble. i always have the greatest epiphanies while i am there.
how do i feel? February 23, 2008
there are days that are just like the others
then there are these days where you feel like you are on top of your game
then finally, there are these days, which could be interpreted one of two ways: 1. things are going well, and it was the right time, place, people kind of thing; 2. things are not going well, and its just the best word to use to describe the day without offending anyone, including yourself. 
this is usually what i think of each and every time i go to the gas station. weird.
2nd 2nd date of 2008 February 13, 2008
2nd date on friday night with dinner party guy.
somewhat excited. somewhat nervous. taking mental inventory of my flaws and making sure they are in check. beating myself up internally for all the mistakes ive made in the past. i hate this.
hopefully this will pass before friday night.
new necklace February 10, 2008
had ordered this necklace way back in the beginning of december. the site has been sitting in my links over there ==>
i finally received it. i am very happy with it.
kids + cuteness February 9, 2008
i just realized that in most of my posts about my nieces and nephews, they are always cute. i must sound VERY biased.
let me tell you i am not. i think ALL kids are cute. ALL. i know of one particular cutie who belongs to the L word person who is freaking adorable with his big blue eyes. then there is my girlfriend christi and her two kids – the younger one with the longest eyelashes ever! and her older one says the most unique things. her observations floor me.
then there is another particular friend who i work with and she has the cutest little girl. wise little one. its almost like she is 18 stuck in a 6 year old body.
the list can go on and on …
if i stare at a child is because i am just amazed (not because i am some freak!). simply amazed at how they think, what they say or do. i am amazed at what their little brains are doing.
if you are having a bad day, spend some time with a child – unless they are your own and they are annoying you at that moment. it amazes me (what a surprise!) how they can quickly change your mood and help you forget whatever it was you were upset about.
i am hoping to catch up with megan today. i talked to her last night – too funny! sara has a big dance tonight, cant wait to see what she looks like all dressed up!
i am happy.
nick-o-las February 3, 2008
