KM8

I went down to KM8 at Sentosa Island (still within Singapore’s premise, I do not need a passport to enter Sentosa) and I had a blast!

KM8 is a beach bar, similar to Sunset Bay, which is THE original beach bar in Sentosa and it’s still one of the best places to hang out on a sunny day. But beware, Sunset Bay! KM8 is now attracting all the beautiful people in town and I must say it a great crowd to hang out with!

Besides the beautiful people, great music and delicious cocktails, another key attraction of KM8 is that it has a pool. Yup… there’s actually a pool just 3 meters away from the beach! It’s a small pool but it provides a great area for the beautiful people to dance their wet yet perfect bodies besides the pool.

There were many expats, SPGs, yummy hunks and babes prancing around in their beachwear and grooving to the blasting music. I almost thought that I was in Ibiza or Bali. With the good-looking crowd, fantastic music and the sunset at the background… I must say that I had the best Sunday afternoon last week!

I will post some photos once I have the chance!

p/s: Unfornately, there will always be some white, flabby and extremely ugly caucasians to spoil the view, so self-censorship to block out these ugly people is definitely required. If all things fail, hrm... get drunk!

Yup... That's me. Looking good huh? ;p

Simple pleasure…

I have a new wallet! Yeah! It’s pink, pink and oh, so pink! Haha… It’s really a cute wallet, small yet roomy to contain a small coin pouch, a delicate shade of pink yet with an edgy “leafy” design imprinted on its GENUNIE leather!

And the best part: I bought it in a sale, at 50% off! Only cost me S$39 dollars…

It is such a good buy that I feel so happy whenever I fish out my wallet to pay, to take a bus or to get some coins.

Just looking at my chirpy, blossom pink wallet is enough to brighten up my day.

I miss this kind of simple pleasure… …

Every girl has a hidden cheapskate nature. To find a good bargain is equivalent of getting an orgasm.

Both are simple pleasures… haha. ;p

Ouch… I am in pain…

My upper body is so sore that the minutest movement hurts like hell… even brushing my teeth causes my forearms and triceps to hurt…

But I am not complaining! I actually welcome the pain! All these pains mean that I put my muscles to good use on last Sunday… in fact, maybe too much of a good use…

I went wall climbing last Sunday at Keppel Tower! The place is called ClimbAdventure ( http://www.climbadventure.com/index.htm )and it conducts classes for beginners as well as intermediate climbers. Basically, it’s like a studio with many walls for one to climb.

Each wall is only 7.5 meters, so it is definitely more suitable for beginners (like me!). One can either go for the Level one and two classes or chooses to pay 5 bucks and the place is yours for you to climb the whole day.

Unfortunately… I forgot to bring my digcam along and thus, no photos! ;(
But, I will definitely bring my camera the next time round and catch some live actions!

Despite of the pain and aches, I will still recommend wall/rock climbing because it is a total body workout! In fact… one session of wall climbing equates to 5 sessions of hardcore gym. It has been a long time since my body aches like that… every muscle is screaming with pain whenever I try to lift my arms…

Nonetheless, I hope to go for more climbing sessions, not only to tone up my body, but also to improve on my mental strength. This is definitely one sport where one has to conquer one’s fear or one’s many fears.

It can be fear of height, fear of falling, fear of looking like a cockroach scurrying up a wall (Ugly climbing postures!!!) or fear of not able to complete the wall… But at the end of the day, I realized that it’s all the state of my mind. If I told myself that I can do it… I can definitely do it. Wall climbing taught me NOT to doubt myself and believe in my body, as it is actually stronger than I thought.

So... anyone wana join me in wall climbing? ;p

p/s: Since the walls are indoor, so it's air conditioned! Yoo-hoo! No hot and sticky bodies with BO!

Why am I blogging?

Yesterday, I mentioned to a friend that I keep a blog... not a well-maintained one, especially when compared to other more established bloggers. Looking at my blog, it is actually quite boring, as I do not have any cool links or pop-up dancing babies. Not to mention that it is in a hideous shade of pink. (Whether you like it or not, pink happens to be one of my favorite colours)

And I have asked myself many times, “why the shit am I still blogging?” Since not many people read my blog except for a few friends.

Ahhh... that’s right. FRIENDS.

I continue to blog because I want to share with them what has been going on in my life. Although things can get pretty stale but at least there is this common platform where I can post my thoughts and share a little part of me.

This can be rather crucial since some of my friends are not in Singapore and blogs have, thus become to be a form of communicating.

Instead of frequent emailing, we can now check out each other’s blog and update each other.

So, my friends... please let me know if you’ll like to share your blog and life with me.

Oh, another thing, for those who will like to contact me via the blog, please clink on the link: “View my complete profile” and you will see “email”.

I have yet to figure out how to add a “leave a comment” link to my blog and thus, require this roundabout way.

In one way or another, I hope my blog has reached its objective, and that is to share my life with all of you, no matter where you are.

Feeling down…

I think I woke up at the wrong side of the bed this morning… I am feeling down for no rhythm or reason. And it’s not that time of the month either. (In fact, it’s nowhere even close)

I feel trapped… (again!) Is it only me who find Singapore stifling? I have this constant urge to travel, to get out of this country, to walk down unfamiliar streets, to smell exotic fumes, smile to strangers and experience the wonder of being in a strange and foreign land.

“Go to Little India on Sundays then,” said my friend. “You'll think you are really in India.””

“Yah… thanks, man” I replied drily.

Although I do not deny that there are indeed some exciting stuff to do in Singapore during weekends, such as in-door rock climbing at Keppel Towers (just got to know about that! Fancy a climb in the CBD of Singapore?), soaking in an outdoor Jacuzzi at MK-8 in Sentosa or visiting a goat farm in Lim Chu Kang.

Despite of the numerous “interesting” activities in Singapore (believe it or not!) but I simply yearn for a getaway…

I can always go for short getaway in near-by countries, such as Malaysia, Thailand or Hong Kong. But if I were to spend my hard earned money on these short getaways, I will not have much left for my long getaway…

Argh… At this point of life, I wish I am bloody loaded where money is NOT an issue and I am free to go wherever I desire…

Guess it’s time to buy toto, 4D or any form of lottery and pray that I am lucky for just once in my life. I am not greedy… just a $5000 win will make me very, very happy.

Sigh.
