Aequam memento rebus in arduis servare mentem

our singapore trek

April 6, 2008

after some hasty preparation, we finally managed to fly to singapore last weekend.

sightseeing was the main priority so it didn’t really leave us enough time to do some shopping (which is a marginal relief to my pockets). as usual, orchard road was an irresistible magnet so i spent a few hours there and snapped a few pictures while browsing through the malls.

 

  

i’m not much of a photographer — i’m definitely one of those point-and-shoot snappers — so i’m posting some of the more decent ones that i’d been able to take here.

 

sadly though we weren’t able to visit Sentosa sland this time around (i still remember the last time we were there. i expect there has been a lot of changes since then so it’s a pity for me to miss it). we did manage to go on a midnight safari though. and that trip to the National Orchid Garden (the orchids were gorgeous!).

the night safari was a singular experience, but the real downer was that it was too dark for us to take good pictures of the creatures in there. the guides kept on admonishing us not to use our cameras because the flash would bother the animals. i was able to snap a few images, but the results (the images were simply too smudged or murky) leave a lot to be desired. oh well.

after 4 days, we’re finally back here in manila.

stinelli on still life

a nurse-in-waiting hoping to pass my time in comfortable and relative obscurity. in the meantime, i'm turning to blogging...

 

stinelli is in the house -- when she's not too busy somewhere else. i'm still focusing on my board exams (please wish me luck), so until then i'll just be mostly concentrating on my other interests: reading & travel.

 

 

To acquire the habit of reading 
is to construct for yourself a refuge
from almost all of the miseries of life.

         --  W. Somerset Maugham
