Hey everyone
Today I appreciate a couple of days in my apartment in Dubai more than ever, after 2 weeks of being on the road and in the air:) All the adventures help me to explore my curiosities, explore Godness, my own spirituality, my emotions and expand my mind tremendously. I feel I am living a full life and living in total acceptance, closer to nature, to God and to it all - the known and unknown.
I was in Melbourne again (the 5 day Singapore/Melbourne trip), where I met up with Rochelle for lunch at a Korean restaurant that served awesome 'bento'. Thanks Chell. And in Singapore I felt it too strange to be in a great place and choosing not to go out and travel. So off I went on another adventure - to the Northeastern tip of Singapore, a little island called Pulau Ubin (after a train ride, busride and then a ferry called a bumboat). Once there, we hired mountain bikes and cycled for about 20 minutes through a jungle. Man, this was FANTASTIC! We (me and Rebecca, from the UK) were aiming for the wetlands called Chek Jawa. Once there, no bicycles allowed, only walking. It was such a journey, of discoveries. Around every corner we would see live creatures including a little crocodile, big lizard (whatever it's called), interesting flora and fauna. It was just amazing. Real jungle life, with the sounds of birds high up in trees that cover the sight of sky when you look up, things moving in the bushes, insects crawling, things jumping in and out of water and trees growing above the surface. It was weird and wonderful;-) It's a very rural part of Singapore, and very untouched. Even around the area (Changi Jetty), the housing looks different, the people are older and you meet locals interested in where you are from. We had some fresh cocunuts to quench our thirst and went back to the city. And everytime I go to Bugis (remember, the markets), I discover something new. A stall that sells fresh juices for one Singaporean dollar - dragonfruit, honey dew, white guava, jackfruit (hey, I saw these on the island for the first time - never knew they come from big trees) and a whole bunch of different fruits and mixtures. At night, we went to Insomnia again for an hour boogying on the dancefloor like no one knows us:)
The crew was REALLY super. We had so much fun, it didn't even feel like work. A lot of action onboard also, including a drunk passenger that sang for us in the galley (how embarrassing, haha), the lights not working (old aircraft), aircon only blew hot or cold air, etc, etc. Everyone was looney on this trip, including the purser. Right up my alley, hehe.
I'm off to Joburg again soon, and Pookie will be visiting me again ;-P
Tell me more what's going on your side
Missing you all
*Peace and joy
