Colors of Singapore

It was at the border line. I was bored and numb, having almost no feeling at all but wanting to go home. This was the third day in Singapore and I could see a place that was so structure, solid, and tiresome. I was on a taxi to Little India for the famous Muthu’s Curry. It started shiny when an office building caught my eyes. The windows made of woods were in seven harmonious colors, yet vivid. That stood out a day of extreme dullness. I could not wait for more as I took out my buddy camera from my baggy shoulder tote, rolled down the window and took several snaps. Good start!

At Muthu’s, food was clean and tasty. It was medium spicy but I guest you could tell them if you really wanted them as original. The Indian waiters were attentive as they were taking orders with handheld devices on wireless connection.

After having good food, I strolled on the riverside of the city and stunned by its charming lovely small Irish pubs along river bank.

Looking across the river, former Singapore General Post Office now luxury hotel, turned the city stylish. Just next to the Singapore General Post Office, there were skyscrapers but surprisingly they didn’t bother the elegant old style building. On the contrary, they enhanced the perspective and contrasted the clear blue sky in a hot sunny summer day. Even I personally don’t like skyscrapers but this is for sure the exceptional case.

Just a semi-sphere turn from the Singapore General Post Office, Asian Cultures Museum was connected by a pedestrian bridge. It was one of many tourist attractions and anyone who had a chance to visit Singapore should not miss. They neatly organized history bits in different chambers where I could literally sink in for the whole day.

In a dull day, there were colors. And they were near me as I learned to cherish simple things around. I learned the way to breathe in every blessed moment and learned to be thankful to be able to dance again today and the days after.
