It was my first overseas flight and I felt anxious, nervous and excited having no clear itinerary whatsoever. After a few hours we landed on this tiny dot on the map known as Singapore. Being inside Changi Airport is like walking in a fab hotel lobby that is ultra chic and modern. At an instant you'll recognize the fact that it is (still) the world's best airport.
My friends who arrived there just a day earlier were supposed to pick me up. Thirty minutes passed and still no friends in sight. I decided to lounge around the airport and ended up at a familiar fastfood chain, Burger King. I ordered a burger and a Minute Maid juice and got myself acquainted with the Sing-Dollar. Being a first-time traveller I was still in that auto-convert-to-Peso phase. I knew that was the beginning of an expensive holiday. If I remember correctly, that humble merienda cost me a li'l less than $10.
After an hour my friends arrived and off we go. The transportation system was very convenient and truly commuter-friendly. The MRT that is directly connected to the airport has scheduled trains that will take you from the East to the West in just a little over an hour. You have to purchase your own EZ-link card at the ticketing booth for S$12. This will serve as your ticket to most rides within Singapore. A few train stations
We headed then to the mall beside Paya Lebar station and ate lunch at a Kopitiam (similar to our food court). All this time I just kept observing the people. Singapore is a melting pot of cultures (Malays, Chinese, Indians) and this diverse population is quite fascinating. But skin colour and eyelids aside, I just couldn't help but notice how slim
Whatever it is, I know that being the next top model or the sexiest man alive will not be that much of a challenge for most of them as far as waistlines are concerned. As for now, I am content with just living vicariously through Ann Ward and dreaming about Ryan Reynolds
