On Friday night, we were at Esplanade. There were light beams shooting into the night sky from Marina Bay Sands. A few other buildings in Raffles Place and the Swissotel had beams shooting from their roof tops as well (p.s. you can find more pictures on Stomp). We don't know what the lights were for and we discussed a few possiblities; all we know was that it was so romantic, we just sat on the steps, with the most perfect view, and stared into the night. I swear this is the first time I have ever seen that area so happening and so beautiful. There were many aspiring photographers using their SLRs to capture that night scene. All I had was my Nokia E63.

I suddenly felt that everything was so powerful.....Singapore's prosperity, technology, the architect behind all the famous buildings in our little red dot, the people powering those lights, and.....the feelings we have for each other.

On Saturday......

We went to the famous Bedok Hawker Centre for breakfast. I bought Bedok chwee kueh (4 for $1, so cheap) while you bought congee for us to share. Very yummy and I am glad that I introduced a new type of food to you which you like.

On the bus, you lent me your aviators so that I can look like Fann Wong going to the beach. The bus went on Still Road and I asked you "Is there a road called Moving Road?" We then joked about why is Still Road called Still Road.

We got off the bus at Katong and walked towards Parkway Parade. We checked out some shops for abit and then under my lead, we walked to East Coast Park. Settling down on the bench at ECP, you put on your wayfarers and I still had on my Fann Wong aviators. We stared at the sea through our tinted lenses together and you asked me if I would like to go to Maldives with you. Like duh. While feeling relaxed watching the sea, you also told me you hated how the numerous ships clogged up the view of the horizon. I didn't have much to say cause I thought ships were part of the sea. Maybe Maldives won't have so many ships. And then you fell asleep on the bench. For like 5 min cause I woke you up.

We then went to get me my bike at a rental shop. I liked it very much cause it was green and pink. We rolled our bike to the skates rental shop next door and we got you your skates. I watched while the staff (who is actually really a little girl at most the age of my sister) took down your particulars and had a few sentences of exchange with you. While you were putting on your skates, that same little girl went to her other little staff kiddos and whispered loudly in Chinese that you spoke with an angmoh accent although you looked Asian. I tried to hide my smile. Did they think that I don't understand Chinese too just cause you don't?

As I got on my bike, I got a little nervous because I really can't even remember the last time I cycled. I have never been a good cyclist. I am afraid of falling and even more afraid of knocking into innocent people. But little did I know that the first person I crashed into would be you. Everything happened so fast as my bike ran into you and I watched you fall back on your skates. I saw you land on your ass. It was funny but I think my heart ached. I know you only stood there for me to crash into you because you wanted to help balance me. Ouch, I am so sorry.

Luckily, after 2 min (okay maybe 5 min) of stumbling around, I managed to speed off on my two wheels. Because of my uneven speed (due to poor control) and my wanting to stay away from you for obvious reasons, we were apart most of the time. I started to think that we should perhaps get a tandem bike next time. After about 30 min, the rain started pouring down on us and we were both in the rain on our wheels. It was quite romantic and fun actually, especially after I got more stable. We stopped by a pavilion eventually together with many others sheltering from the rain.

We returned the wheels after the rain got lighter. We laughed at how my bike went onto the grass while I tried to make a turn into the bike shop. I really suck haha. After that, we went to eat at Macs and we walked back to Parkway. We went past a church and we started talking about Mega churches in Singapore. Hmmm insight. Then we bought dinner and went home to your place. And there, we watched FlashForward till it was time for me to go.

Why did time pass so fast? I can't wait for the next weekend already.
