Flashes from the past, present...from home
Scary as it may sound, no no, these are not the flashes you see before
you close your eyes for the last time, as my wicked singaporean friend
said, but ratherI am seeing flashes of scenes from singapore as i go
about my normal routine here in stockholm like taking the t-bana home,
walking down the flight of stairs, and I will have random and
seemingly unimportant scenes from singapore just pop into my brain,
like waiting for the MRT, shopping at Suntec City mall, sitting at the
kopitam, i can feel that I am there, sense the humidity in the air,
hear noises associated with the places, and its really the uncanny
feeling that you are right back in Singapore that makes me go all
queasy.
Sounds like a snapshot from a movie eh? heh...Missing home you think
or just being really really psychic? haha...Its actually kinda cool i
think, as you can walk down a flight of stairs in the subway here in
Stockholm, and think about the MRT stairs back in Singapore, a direct
comparision straightaway... just about on any other thing in fact.

I like waiting for the MRT too. Funny but we spent most of yesterday at Suntec mall, I finally buckled and got a gym membership at Planet Fitness at Suntec, for the sole reason that it's a 10 minute walk from my office. That place is frikking huge, it takes a good 20 minutes to make it from the enterance of Suntec to the gym because all the shops are so distracting. Yesterday was my first day to the gym after being a member for over a month... I'm so darn lazy.

Ha....but isnt your office at beach road? there should be other gyms? yeah agree with how big suntec city is, but its out of orchard road, so its refreshing to hang out there once in a while. anyway would be cool to meet up when i get back to singapore. .

Amen to that sista... our office is by Bugis Junction between North Bridge Road and Beach Road. I'll show you the "James Bond" room in our office, it's pretty cool, and so is the location. Arab st. is just around the corner. :)
