Lonely Boat Quay
Today marked the second day of my staying ALONE in Singapore. While I knew all along that this day will come, it is nevertheless pretty depressing. I think I must have settled in pretty well here. 7.30 a.m. wake up. breakfast. 8.00 a.m. leave my house. 8.40 a.m. reach office. 1.00 p.m. lunch. 2.00 p.m. work again. 8 p.m. leave office. go to gym. 10.00 p.m. go home. 10.30 p.m. reach home. clean up some shit (literally!) and sleep. What is missing is... there won't be anyone home waiting for me, offering me a lift home from time to time, bring me to fancy restaurants and making sure that I have everything I need / want. The house just seems extra quiet (well, it is quiet anyway)... and I have never felt more alone before.
Two days in a row I purposely walk along a small stretch of Boat Quay before I hop on to my train to go home. From far I can see a long stretch of bars and pubs by the river side. Happy Hour. Happy people. There is a distinctive smell at Boat Quay... probably a mixture of the smell of salt water (or is it garbage?) and beer. I dunno. I even saw a Indon worker berpancaran with Santa by the river side as I was going home alone to the empty house. It's not Christmas yet... but who knows... they are probably happier.

Where have all the manly men-loving Singaporeans gone?
We have a hot guy lonely in Singapore! How atrocious! Bad hospitality!

don't worry ... adjusting to a new life is always full of little bumps.
Things will be great soon, trust me on this.
take care dear.

Is this Lonely (Boat Quay remix)?
Like wjee said, settling into a new life is obviously a little hard in the beginning. I bet a few more weeks, you won't EVEN be blogging anymore!

I'll move to Singapore!
I'll sit at home waiting, offering you a lift home from time to time, bring you to fancy restaurants and making sure that you have everything you need / want.
Relax, kiddo. It'll take some time to adjust but I'm sure you'll find your own lil coterie of friends very soon.
