After indulging in a delightful feast of pau and dim sum, I returned to
the hostel to tackle the task of assembling my bike. With each piece
coming together, I couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation for
the adventure ahead. Cycling north was top of the agenda, and I
couldn’t wait to get going.
Singapore
I had such an eventful day today! My roommate surprised me with
news of a free tour of the Parliament House, and I jumped at the
chance. After hastily downing a coffee, I set off for a day filled with
history, stunning architecture, and mouth-watering food. As I strolled
along the Singapore River, I passed by intriguing art displays,
watched tourists savouring meals at riverside restaurants, and
observed busy Singaporeans hurrying to and from work.
Later, I headed back to the hostel to grab my tripod for some night-
time photography, but my plans took an unexpected turn when two
cyclists showed up, and we ended up spending the evening chatting
over a few beers. It turned into a lively and social night without me
even leaving the hostel!
I ended up staying there for two extra days, and it was totally worth
it! First off, I was on the hunt for a new laptop because mine was on
the fritz, but I ended up deciding against it.
Then, at sunset, I took a leisurely stroll to the waterfront and was
lucky enough to catch a glimpse of a spectacular laser show. I
attempted to capture the moment with some impromptu hand-held
shots, but I couldn't help but wish I had brought my tripod along for
the experience. It's always the way, isn't it?
