My house guests

I went cycling at East Coast Park this morning with a friend. Gosh, do not go after 9am. It was pretty hot. A bicycle can be rented for $6 for 2 hours, which i think is a reasonable rate. So I cycled until about 11.15am and when I got off the bike, my legs were really wobbly. The last time I cycled was 2 months ago!

My early afternoon nap was really sweet and deep. So I guess this means exercise will give you a better quality sleep, a good advice to those who suffer from insomnia.

I've got 2 houseguests this week. One's my cousin and the other is his friend. At first, I felt really weird. Although I'm usually not the shy type, it's still awkward. [or maybe it's just me] They're from Sydney. My cousin's friend told me that Singapore is really a straitlaced country ie. can't smoke anywhere, cannot litter, cannot spit etc. He affirmed my suspicion when I asked him if he thinks Singapore is boring. I was sad to hear that! But I agree that Singapore is not for everyone. You have to be someone who is more inclined to rules and payment. I say payment because here, there's nothing you cannot pay for. For a good example, you must pay $180 for using a football field.

Nonetheless, I love Singapore, for its flaws and good points. Where else can you feel pretty safe, eat good food cheaply and count on good governance? Count your blessing, y'all.
