SINGAPORE IT IS!

I’m going to start documenting my travels with my present trip. Let’s see how far I can stick to my travelogue dream and faithfully post a piece a day. So I’m away at Singapore with my sister,U, and her husband, H. Yes, it’s one among the list of many firsts.

It’s also my first time to Singapore and fortunately it’s a long vacation (well, no vacation is long enough but I think this one is long enough in one place). I’m excited to explore the country and see what it has to offer. There is a to-do list as usual. But I’m more the lazy kind when it comes to making plans. U and H have done all the internet browsing on the places to visit. I did a little bit of browsing but not too much.

Our hosts are family so it makes it a lot easier. They’re a lovely bunch – extremely sweet and hospitable.

I hope to make a few doodles as well and put them up along with the photographs I take.

So stay tuned for updates and hopefully, my visit can help you plan your stay here!

UNCERTAINTY

Uncertainty.

They say that change is constant. But who’re we fooling? Uncertainty is.

It hits you like a cloud burst on a summer morning,

Leaving you numb, shaken and motionless,

Plunging you in blinding darkness.

A parched tongue,

A lump in your throat,

A stomach churn,

A sinking boat.

When the rosy pink turns to a pale white,

You wonder, if it finally was,

Worth the fight.

 

Uncertainty.

The unwanted visitor

Who knocks at your door,

To tell you blatantly,

Family is one less than four.

You pause, you stagger, you scream, you fall,

What’s that you said about standing tall?

 

Uncertainty.

Its destiny playing an unfair game,

Forcing you down memory lane.

Taking the road back to home,

Asking you why you live alone?

Urging you to cut the distance,

Trying hard to knock some sense.

Bringing you back to family and friends,

Making you wonder if it had to end?
