Memorable Date

Please do not blame me for using such a cheesy title. I know it is one of those titles that primary school students like to use for their essay or composition. ha.. but it really reflects how i felt on this particular date. I was on leave for 2 days. (finally) Managed to arrange a date with my dear for a getaway. Yar rite, get out of the country? My dream but no. We planned to suntan and swim in our most infamous beach Siloso.

Poor singaporeans like us do not have money and time to travel far. I would prefer to enjoy a tan at Thailand or even Bintan. Siloso beach is only for teenagers like my bro. Despite so, i was amazed by the development of Sentosa. I guess the CEO is really doing his job. There were so many changes there. There are new restaurants, more shops, more shelters, improved manmade scenery. i think it is time for Singaporeans to head on to Sentosa. ha... oops, i did applied for a job there. hee....

Back on the date, the sky was naughty. There were clouds all day. So we just hang ard the beach and enjoy the tranquility, marred by passing helicopters and container ships. Before that, we had brunch at Rasa Sentosa. Fantastic place if i am a tourist. Rain started pouring and we made a hasty retreat.

At night, we dated at Singapore's famous landmark, the Esplanade. WOW!!! I really had an enjoyable time there. I guess she knew wat i meant. We chilled out at the renovated roof garden with soothing music beaming from below. Strange enough, there was this outdoor performance that sang a series of "Carpenters" songs. Imagine sitting under the clear sky with Shenton way overlooking at us, the sea rite in your eyes, too good to be true! We had a wonderful time.

Maybe i should travel with her to Venice . I can tell u the place is 10 times romantic and excellent. The songs played in Saint Marco Square are famous. Even English songs idiot like me knew what they were. They dun play with a band but an orchestra ie violin, trumpet, saxophone. The place serve mouth watering goodies and coffees. ha... think i rattle too far. Maybe if there is a chance. We shall see.

Sorry just some comments to make here :)
I had to agree Venice will be 10 times romantic...
But sometimes once the feeling, timing and the the person is right, any place can be as romantic bah...
