Quick before I forget

Kel and I went to the esplanade this afternoon. Actually I suggested going there because I wanted to go to the library there. I got much more than that.

The library was a bit special in a sense that it caters to the arts. Here you can find videos, CD recordings and scores to cater to the sights and sounds of the arts. Didn't really take a look at the scores so maybe I will come down again late this month just to browse through. We were lucky enough to watch a performance in the library itself by child prodigies and teenagers playing the guitar, piano and singing. From what I can recall I heard Beautiful by Christina Aguilera, Silent Night, Country Roads and A Whole New World. There were more but I couldn't recall.

After exploring the premises and snapping photos on camera phones while looking like enthusiastic tourists, we had our dinner at marina Square before resuming out tour round the esplanade. We came back just in time to catch an outside performance as part of Pesta Raya. Really appreciate the dance put up showcasing the gracefulness of women and the energetic men in the malay community. After a few more snapping sessions, we made our way to the merlion where we had more snapping lessons. Now waiting for him to send me the photos...and waiting...and waiting...Kel where are you man!

Well happy story aside. Prior before we reach the esplanade while on the train ride to City Hall, he told me his 'story'. Army stuff if you must know. During the talk I couldn't help it but feel that I could have at least make him feel better about this whole issue instead of just listening and nodding at the right places. I have to admit I was shocked but somehow I expected it to happen. I just wasn't prepared to hear the whole 'story'. Didn't know that he had it this bad. I just wanted him to feel better about the whole thing. But somehow I couldn't say it. Only ocassional 'yeah i agree' and 'maybe...' Feeling lousy at this moment.
