Capetown

View from my room

Capetown is a super scenic place. The skies are exceptionally blue with really white clouds. The weather has been great, with cool winds and plenty of sunshine (although it is a little more chilly than what I expected). I've never been excited to sight see for a very long time.

The highlight for today was whale watching cause the whales from the Artic Ocean has migrated to the shores of Capetown since September and will stay on till the month of November. I went with some colleagues and we were in luck...

Part of the crowd that was there for some whale sightings...

The whales were playful and we could see them flipping in the sea. There were several times which they jumped up from the water. But I was busy posing for the camera and only managed to catch the big splash after...

We had a long scenic drive around the costal area back to the hotel. I never knew South Africa would be this pretty...really...It makes my slaving through work all worthwhile again...

Sloth On The Couch...

I'm home alone today for the first time after almost 3 weeks. It feels weird. Not having someone to say anything to or hang out with. It feels weird.

I spent the whole afternoon looking through some old photos. Those from college, from my graduation, from when I first moved to Singapore, from my holiday trips and hang outs with my friends. I miss everyone. There's been so many people I haven't seen since ages.

Sometimes I wonder about what my friends are doing. But I'm just so tired from work, I prefer to stay in when I get home to KL sometimes. I know...thats a real selfish thought. And I've probably been on this subject for one too many times. Sigh~

I guess I'll have to work out something if I really wanna spend more time catching up with people I've lost touch with....

Post Holiday Blues...

Arriving in Phuket...

I went for another holiday in Thailand recently. This time to Phuket with Nic and a group of friends. Overall, the trip was unexpected enjoyable. I had an unexpected outburst. We made some unexpected friends as well. But I've had enough of Pad Thais and Tom Yum Gongs for this year.

We almost didn't make it for the trip. There were demonstrations going on in various parts of Thailand and some of the airports were closed. Phuket airport opened just in time for our departure. But we were concerned about our safety and hesitated for quite abit before we actually decided to go on with the trip. I'm glad we did in the end...

I spent the rest of my leave in KL. It was nice being able to stay home for such a long time instead of just my normal two or three days visit. But it obviously made leaving much more difficult...all over again. Especially since Nic stayed on and sent me off when I boarded the bus back to Singapore. *sob sob sob*

Wish someone would pay me to holiday and travel around the world...

*pause*

Wait...aren't I already doing that?
