I'm Dating.
So. I met someone new. The first time we met, we took the Flyer after catching a movie. And then we had some leg exercise walking around looking for something that could meet our appetite. We finally settled on Sakura.
The Flyer was beautiful! The view from the top was breath-taking. I didn't get to see the sunset though but the lights from the buildings and roads were pretty enough.

That road bridge over there, that's my favourite road to travel on cuz I get to see the Flyer. Huge wheel.



That's one of the Flyer's capsule. The bright lights on the left corner, that's where they're building the future Las Vegas, Singapore Version.

That's the Marina Barrage.
I wanted to take taxi home after that but he said his mom adviced him to see me home. Very sweet of her. Speaking about her, his family sounds very nice. I like hearing him telling me about his family. His elder sister is a nurse, too.
The next day was the day that I had to start work. I was on afternoon shift and since he was off on that day, he picked me up from work and sent me home, on this!

And I got to use the helmet that only showed off my eyes. Haha. The first time was exciting and scary. But I enjoyed the wind. He rode so fast that if I hadn't held on tight, I'd fly off and most probably die.
Yesterday after our work, he brought me to Marina Barrage, where they had this huge circular bridge that overlooks the dam, the sea with cargo ships, the buildings. When we walked up the slope, there was a point where all I could see was grassy hilltop and the sky. It felt like I was walking up a hill and be on top of the world! It reminded me of places like Switzerland and other country places where you can stand on top of the hill and almost touch the sky. When you look down you can see little villages and animals and plantations.
Anyway, we sat and talked and laughed, bla, bla, bla. We were facing the sea, see. Suddenly he told me to turn around and I saw the sunset! The orange sun looked so big then. The throw of colours it made against the sky was awesome. I wanted to take a picture with my phone but by the time I got ready, the sun had almost disappeared below the horizon. All I had was this:

After that, we went to Vivo City to eat. I fed him well. Haha. That was the moment that I got to know a little about his dad. From how he talked about him, his dad is funny. Hahah.
After eating, he brought me to Mount Faber. But we only rode past. Pretty place. I think I just like being so high from the ground. And then home sweet home.
Each day I got home smiling.

Gotta Be Somebody.
This time, I wonder what it feels like
To find the one in this life, the one we all dream of
But dreams just aren't enough
So I'll be waiting for the real thing, I'll know it by the feeling
The moment when we're meeting, will play out like a scene
Straight off the silver screen
So I'll be holding my own breath, right up till the end
Until that moment when, I find the one that I'll spend forever with
Cause nobody wants to be the last one there
Cause everyone wants to feel like someone cares
Someone to love with my life in their hands
There's gotta be somebody for me like that
Cause nobody wants to do it on their own
And everyone wants to know they're not alone
There's somebody else that feels the same somewhere
There's gotta be somebody for me out thereTonight, out on the street, out in the moonlight
And dammit this feels too right, it's just like deja vu
Me standing here with you
So I'll be holding my own breath, could this be the end
Is it that moment when, I find the one that I'll spend forever with
You can't give up, looking for a diamond in the rough
You never know, when it shows up, make sure you're holding on
Cause it could be the one, the one you're waiting on
Nobody wants to do it on their own
And everyone wants to know they're not alone
There's somebody else that feels the same somewhere
There's gotta be somebody for me out there
Nobody wants to be the last one there
Cause everyone wants to feel like someone cares
There's somebody else that feels the same somewhere
There's gotta be somebody for me out there

Lailee's Wedding.
I never realized that weddings could make me cry. I've never cried at weddings before. Maybe because most of the weddings I attended was when I was really young and I have no idea how the brides and grooms are related to me. Or I didn't come early enough or stay long enough to soak up the emotional atmosphere. Like Lia's wedding.
But I guess I'm growing up. I attended Lailee's wedding today with several of my other colleagues. Oh! And I saw Dr. CK Wong and Dr. TC Tay. How sweet of them to come. Anyway, Lailee looked really pretty just now. Gorgeous and stunning. The part where her husband sang to her was utterly sweet. You can't really keep your eyes off Lailee during that part. She was smiling widely and her eyes lit up. It was evident that she's really, really happy. I was so touched that I teared up a little.
Oops. Sorry. Can't help but be an 'S' and talk about feelings. *Rolls eyes*
I wish I can experience this kind of happiness.
Anyway. I need to learn to be more of an 'I'.

Love/Addiction.
In the hospital, we see addiction every day. It's shocking, how many kinds of addiction exist. It would be too easy if it was just drugs and booze and cigarettes. I think the hardest part of kicking a habit is wanting to kick it. I mean, we get addicted for a reason, right? Often, too often, things that start out as just a normal part of your life, at some point cross the line to obsessive. Compulsive. Out of control. It's the high we're chasing. The high that makes everything else... fade away.
The thing about addiction is, it never ends well. Because eventually, whatever it is that was getting us high... stops feeling good, and starts to hurt. Still, they say you don't kick the habit until you hit rock bottom. But how do you know when you're there? Because no matter how badly a thing is hurting us, sometimes, letting it go hurts even worse.
