Singapura

First day in Singapore. Up until the last minute, we’re not sure if we’re going to make this trip happen so I was holding in my excitement until I’m already sitting on that plane. Funny enough, it’s my first plane ride. But I didn’t have the chance to be properly nervous before boarding because we arrived at the boarding station almost in the nick of time. After 3 announcements of some kind of turbulence, however, I was really praying hard for courage. I was looking around my fellow passengers and no one else seemed bothered, so I resigned myself to looking out the window and wait for the dark clouds, and the slight plane “tremors,” to pass. I’ve never been so happy to see the light of sun!

I’ll try to write other blog posts later. For now, I’m just sharing this picture of the Singapore Flyer I took after we’ve come down back to earth. I have always been afraid of heights, and although the large, contained “ride” that can hold 8 people  (it can contain a whole lot more, but I guess they have to limit the weight) seem safe enough, it’s still made of transparent glass so it’s still pretty scary. The European girls in zamberlan boots who rode with us didn’t look scared at all, though, so I guess it was just me again.
