The Good Life
And it happens to be another one of those memorable ones.
Went over to Changi to meet friends, E and LL for lunch. I thought we should meet somewhere else other than town. LL suggested we meet at Changi, near her office and promised me a good view. So we met at SAF Yacht Club.
And a nice view it was indeed. Endless sea view. Nice sailboats. Bright skies. Sea breeze. Endless, endless view of the beautiful, beautiful sea.
We talked and talked, and I am updated with what's happening with their lives. My life pale in comparison with theirs. But I am not complaining. Sometimes, I silently wish I could have that portion of their lives. Other occasions, I am just relieved that I do not have a difficult MOL (mother-in-law) to handle. :)
So, yeah. It was a nice lunch.
Before the end of lunch, we have made a promise to meet up again.

I went home for a while before meeting up with P and J for a concert at the National Stadium.
The event name was called "We Sing Our Songs" and is organised by one of the local Chinese radio stations. It was an opportunity for us to be at the stadium before it made way in July this year for a new stadium. (And gosh, the stadium is just a year older than me!)
So anyway, we had alot of fun at the concert. The organisers invited quite a number of local singers who were pioneers for 新谣 (xinyao), and it was fun to singalong with about 5,000 people familiar tunes that were the very songs that were a part of our growing up years. There were mostly Chinese songs such the campaign song to promote Chinese in the 80s - "大家说华语" (Let's speak Mandarin), and Cantonese song such as "上海滩" (Theme song for 80s HK tv series "Shanghai Nights (?!)") "浪子的心声" (The Song of a Drifter), Hokkien "爱拚才会赢", (literally translated as Gotta Fight to Win The Game), Malay and National Day classics like "Count on me Singapore" and "Stand up for Singapore"!
The concert lasted for 3 hours and our vocal chords were strained at the end of the concert. But it was all worth it. At the end of concert, we all bid goodbye to the big guy who has hosted many sports events in Singapore.
My heart took a picture of the night and the moments.
(Here are some real pictures I took of the stadium. It's all I can do to keep a part of Singapore's heritage and history.)
