*1220 - skyline

Well it isn't that bad.  You know me, melodramatic in the moment.  And homesick for a country with some serious night views.  No kidding.

D and I went up to Ku De Ta, which was lovely, but really I think the coolest part of the Singapore skyline is looking out in the direction of MBS and not as much from it.

In my opinion, the prettier view from across the bay:

Always amazed at the transformation we have all witnessed over the years.  I have to give Singapore props for excellent city planning.  Just look at that view and the extravagance of twice (I think)-nightly light and laser shows.

You do get to see the rest of the city from Ku De Ta, perched on the 57th floor, which is also pretty nice.

 

*1219 - up down flat

This constant drama is boring me.  Three perfect weeks and I am plunged back again into what shouldn't have to be the reality.  It is a whirlwind of one dramatic event after another, yet nothing different ever happens.  It's always up and down and it's always a flat unmoving line.  Zoom in and you see the fluctuations.  Zoom out and nothing has changed.

Ideally, don't we all want that line, both zoomed in and out, to be climbing up, up, up?  Somehow if that line stays straight for too long, the canvas tilts to the right and the perspective changes; you've been going down, down, down all this time and bringing it back up takes more than ever before.

Not depressed, just musing and only slightly glum.

*1218 - wading

In work.  Discovered that a double load of work is the best cure for jetlag--I had close to none because my days were caffeinated and adrenalined, and my nights were way too short but therefore instantly adjusted to the usual sleep in the early AM and get up several hours later type of schedule.

Still struggling through everything on my plate and have almost weeped several times due to extreme panic and stress.  But welcome back, me, I can tell my absence was felt ;)

Irrelevantly, I am so parched but this cycle keeps repeating:

I fill my glass and gulp --> I turn to my work --> Poka gulps from my glass --> I have to get up and rinse it --> Repeat x 5 so far.

Laters.  Updates when I've resurfaced for air!
