I woke up excited and still fresh on my mind a happy dream that I would be traveling again to a place I’ve been to.   The sight was very familiar but as usual sometimes dreams can be confusing and it changes from scene to scene.   However,  at mid-day, I believed that my dream was confirmed when I checked my email and found one from my dear mom who was asking me to prepare our travel documents because we will be traveling again to  Singapore.    Really, huh!

Merlion is an emblem of Singapore…

My  vivid memories of our Singapore trip was way back 2003 when the whole family went there for a grand vacation.   Yes, that was ages ago and I thought that was the first and last trip to that city.   Quite expensive tour we had although we  managed to stay for more than 2 weeks because Mom’s best friend offered her house instead of  us paying for  hotel rooms.  She’s such a sweet friend!

Young as I was back then… I was in awe of and starry eyed  in all places of  we visited, especially Sentosa Island.  We spent whole day in the island and braved the summer heat.  The Butterfly park was an experience.!   We had a splendid walk on the island where amazingly we meet friendly peacocks, monkeys on the way.   Actually, we all got tanned even though we lavishly applied sunblock lotion and I can still remember that my mom was wearing her favorite straw hat to protect her from getting sunburn but it was of no use.  Although we turned like “toasted bread” due to long sun exposure. we don’t have any misgivings at all for we had a wonderful bonding memories together!   The Song of the Sea musical laser show of dancing fountain wrapped up our long that we we missed to visit Safari night zoo because we were all too tired and sleepy.   Next day was our visit to  Jurong Bird Park and marveled at the sight of different species!  Some places,  I can’t recall anymore… and our trip will be a refresher of sorts.

Fun summer really!  And now we are Singapore bound very soon, I know my 2 siblings and I will have real fun!  So timely that we are on semestral break for 2 weeks … temporarily off from lectures, homework, research, defense, term papers… noisy classmates… and terror professors.

There is every reason to celebrate…  the grueling examination week  is over…. I will just think about the results of the exam after I come back home from Singapore.   I know that I have answered perfectly the questions but I am not sure if all are correct answers… lol… that’s the problem…  but I am confident…. because I reviewed and studied my lessons well…. Believe!

I might not be able to blog for a while because we will be on tour but I promise to give my anecdotes of the travel and post some pictures too.
