For my first post of the year, I'd like to share two of the best things I have ever experienced in my life.
Getting out of the country. If you really really really know me, I never liked travelling. I don't like going on field trips, I don't enjoy long bus rides, I'm just not comfortable with it. I'd rather stay at home and watch TV. Despite all these, I do love watching and being surrounded in live music which overcomes my aversion for travelling.
When
St. Jerome's Laneway announced their Singapore dates for 2012, my hipster friends from the internet went crazy. Rabid. And when these people go nuts over something, you'll know it's worth at least checking out. Singapore it is.
Being a first time travlah, I had to do everything for the first time. Booking flights, looking for places to stay, etc. And much like everything you do for the first time, it was a learning experience. I booked my flight about 3 or 4 months earlier than the date, which taught me a lot about commitments.............
I feel like I've said a lot of nonsense already, so let's just get on with the pictures.

You'll know something is important to me when I take pictures of myself. This was me as I left for the office that morning. My flight was in the afternoon.

End of part 1. Part 2 is about Laneway which was why I was there in the first place.
wow great i have read many articles about this topic and everytime i learn something new i dont think it will ever stop always new info , Thanks for all of your hard work!
ReplyDeleteYung Good Morning Towel nga pala yung dahilan bakit ko kinuhanan ng picture yung barbero. Nagtataka ako nung rinereview ko yung pictures ko lolz.
ReplyDeleteWhat is a Texas Chicken biscuit?? I am curious. The stamp museum looks like a fun place to go to!
ReplyDeleteLexie, it's the greatest biscuit of all time. I recommend that you pack your bags and go to Singapore's Changi Airport 1 and get some of that! Buy 2 dozens, and give me 6 of them. :))
