today i slept in. I mean I really slept in. I woke up at 10:30. The best part was, while everyone else in the hostel was getting ready I kept thinking how rude it was that they were up so early and making so much noise.
when i rolled out of bed i received a text message from some lady to come view a room in her flat. while it is on the higher end of my price range, it comes with a swimming pool, gym, koi pond in the living room, and a family all built in. it is also 2 busstops from work, and roughly 30 minutes from the center of town. i move in on monday (only because i pre-paid the hostel through sunday night). it is going to be an experience... there is a maid. i'm pretty excited to learn about the singaporean way of living, and what better way than to live with a family.
i had planned to go skating but returned to the hostel to do a little reading of a manual all about the different kinds of toilets once can construct. it includes climates and population density in the description. it is magical. now i know why i was told that i could only take it if i promised to return it; the thought of smuggling it out to ponder and admire for the next 50 years is titillating. i killed two pens while taking notes.
while sitting outside a movie crew suddenly set up and out of nowhere appeared this asian-vampire-james-bond-rock-star-japanese-super-model all rolled into one. after what felt like ages waiting to see what precisely he would do, it turns out it was about 15 seconds for a children's t.v. program. he was the villan and had succeeded in turning someone into a chicken (I KNOW!).
tomorrow i have sworn to find the place to skate, and this afternoon i settled on a yoga studio. i'm pretty excited about life here. i think it will be quiet, perhaps even a bit lonely at times. but i also think i am going to have the time to work on myself physically, spiritually, and mentally. also there are lots of beaches.
