I Wanna Soak Up The Sun!

I think I want to take one day's leave just to go out and walk in the sun. I was just standing outside my office just now, looking at the trees being harrassed by the wind, and asking myself "What am I doing indoors on a great day like this?". And from the amount of blogging I've been doing recently, I guess it's pretty obvious that I need time out. No calls. No guilty conscience about not being in the
office. No hot sun preferably. Just me, myself and I.

I've always enjoyed being alone. I don't mind spending the whole day just by myself. Just me, comfy clothes and shoes, walking all over time. I'll just walk everywhere and anyway, visiting places I don't usually have the time or opportunity to do usually. Bookshops. Small little shops that are out of the way of main human traffic. I'm always looking for some place that's put of the way, just to avoid the crowds that so besiege this tiny island. There use to be this little corner at Sunset Way that I find surreal, but is no longer around, replaced by condominiums. There used to be the old Marina beach front which is now Esplanade area. I am running out of favourite places because they're all being over-taken by civilisation! Some favourites that are left - the area between Millenia Shopping Centre and the office towers, when there's no one around. But places like these are far and few in between, just cos Singapore is so darn small!

So nowadays I pretty much coop myself up at home, just because I'm so tired of jostling with the crowds everywhere, and I mean everywhere. Everywhere that I want to go, is always spoilt by the presence of too many hot sweaty people. And after a while, I degenerate to become one of them! Anyway, so I'll just ake leave one of these days, shut off my phone and chill out. This is probably what I'll do.

1. Watch a movie, in a near empty theatre (yippee!)

2. Have lunch somewhere quiet, and after lunch relax with a good book and an ice cold beverage

3. Walk around and do a little bit of shopping

4. Go to the library

5. Go visit the Esplanade (finally!)

6. Go swimming, and after that just lie by the poolside and enjoy the sun!

7. Go beach walk walk, with an ice-cream in hand!

And before I know it, it'll be time to go home. Sigh!

Yes! I shall plan for sometime in July! Don't ask me where I've disappeared to. And I may allow one or two of you priviledged few to join me, provided you don't make too much noise!
