Uniquely Singapore-Day 4

Day to shop , hence went to China town in the morning and got some souvenirs .The mall that we walked into was the People's center and later on we walked down the open market which was mostly filled with clothes and footwear.It was good to look around,saw some cool handbags there too.This area is filled with the smell, may I say, of proper Chinese food.
The area has a lot of pedestrian crossing which has pretty looking creepers with pink and yellow flowers adding beauty to the man-made city area also cos it was a Monday morning.

Later we went to the Singapore History Museum ,it was good to walk it up from China town and since there is no heat it was not very asking museum ,contrast to my expectation, was in a modern glass building called "River side" which had other offices too area faces the Singapore river and hence the name the river we could see the Novotel and the colorful "Clarke Quay" hotels a neat bridge done there too.

Well, the museum wasn't great ,I needed something more of historical value and probably to start with an older building would have helped! anyways, with a lot of screens and story telling to hear thru headphones the tales of Singapore and its major cleanup of the river are told.

Our next destination was Little India, where once we get on to the street we have music shop blasting blowout dhin-chak music and a row of restaurants to follow.Had snacks at Anand Bhavan which was so much like the Woody's in B'lore, or rather vice versa.The store to explore was definitely Mustafa.Spread on 4 levels of Seragoon Plaza, the set up reminds us of a mega Lulu Hypermarket. The store boasts of importing almost everything from India--all the spices and ready-to-eat.This shop is a one-stop point probably once every month for almost every India in the Merlion land!

We ended up watching Madagascar once we got home and when sis was back we were off to the jaccuzzi. hmmmmmm,loadsa fun.Slept like a log!!

Suddenly I feel there's time in my hands....the following thoughts cross my mind... - that model on the cover looks awesome, how is that so? - if they actually airbrush pictures , then how come there is a good looking category? - i want to see a brand new juice in the market,tired of the same old ones... - i feel like shopping often.its more a thought than action. - i like clothes that some other women wears...i want stuff like those! - how come there is traffic only when i want to drive? - water is good for me, very good....keep drinking..has anyone tried flavored water? - is flavored water as good for health? - how come some advertisements are soooo good? is it just one person or a team? - when everyone is busy how come i have time? - how is it that my phone rings only when i want to sleep or when i am occupied? - why do i get tanned so quickly? - how come technology is always surprising to me? - why didn't i get into sports or music when i was younger? - why is it that some ...

Rare Snow day! 01/10/2021

 After a grilling 2020, 2021 started out with a mixture of emotions - grim but hopeful, distant from family but long WhatsApp calls, rainy but looking forward to the sunshine in the coming days. A lot of R&R is how we started our New Years, thanks to the long weekend. We read, watched tv, cooked and slept a lot!  Once work started, it didn't even feel very different from the past few weeks. Unfortunately a few days into the first working week, there was chaos in the DC Capitol and many State Capitols. A riot started by an infuriating and possibly out-of-work men and women wanting to display their passionate support of an incapable President. Back to feeling uncertain and grim about the future, we were surprised by Mother Nature providing us a rare snow fall day here in Austin, TX! It was simply amazing and a great 2nd Sunday of the year where we got 3.5-4 inches of snow ! The sights were remarkable during and after the snow fall. The entire city and neighbors were thrilled...

Fun weekend trip!!

South Lake Tahoe (Nevada) was our adventure trip this Saturday, about a 4 hr drive from where we live. we started early and until halfway i put my driving skills to test! the tuf time was for my hubby, not me...i was just glad at the opportunity!! :-)So i survived till Sacremento( i didnt know it was capital of CA). 2nd half of the drive was mainly on winding roads around the mountains while elevating yourself upto 7000ft! it was amazing as you get a scenic view of mountains n the lake below! awesome!! Once we entered the resort we first got a booking for para sail...I must admit from a distance it did look a bit too wild and so-not-like-me venture...but then the whole idea was to explore and try out new things...so went for it - from the 3 different heights of 400/800/1200ft we chose 800ft! i cudnt believe it myself, but i was in for it. so we walked around the beach area n enquired abt jet skiing while waiting for the parasail call.they made a group of 3 (a mother-daughter, a coupl...
