Night in the Museum

2 September: One day shy from our 6th anniversary. And here we are 6 years later, from the initial hanging out for drinks, wondering where to go next cos we simply didnt feel like ending the night to go back home, to now: him playing his computer games, and me just blogging away side by side.

To me, this is bliss.

We spent last night with the gang at the Singapore Night's Festival.

Magical Night at the Museum

Here, a picture of the very beautiful and magical looking Singapore Arts Museum. The atmosphere was great, and it's lovely to be out enjoying the variety of events, gigs, performance, admissions (free) to Museums. That's really a nice cool way to be out. It's really hard, actually when you are based in a tropical country like ours, to be out during the day when it gets sultry hot. So it's really a nice change, when everyone is out of the air conditioned malls, hitting out the road, enjoying the music, the hype and the lighting effects.

Times like this, i feel we are abit more alive. "we" here being Singapore. You know how shows, TV always "romanticised" huge Cities like New York, Paris, Milan ( well, there's a song named over it already, need i say more).  I think Singapore can be like that too, a very different extent naturally, but we are moving towards a cultural, interactive, outdoor, urban kinda mix with Night Festival being such a great start, well ( not really a start, since this is like the 3-4 th year i believe).

The saddest thing, if anything that prevents me from feeling more, is really .... the weather. Ever since young, and yes till now, even when i'm 30, i'm constantly wishing Singapore has temperature seasons, how i wish we have Winter, Autumn and Spring. Okay, if i have to add in just one more season, give me Autumn. Oh, just give me autumn. Give me the orange maple leaves, give me the chill wind, as i forsee myself all  wrapped up in a nice lovely cashmere scarf, armed with a hot cup of latte as i roamed along Botanic Gardens... looking at the lovely shades of red,orange and yellow sights before. Oh, i sure have got carried away...

I know, even if with the really impressive Gardens by the Bay ( with the air-conditioned Domes, super trees and stuffs), i cant feel but still feel it's tad superficial. Magnificent .. Yes, but superficial as well.

And perhaps one day, we will sing ( at least in our heart): "Singapore Singapore, Oooooo Singapore."
