Whilst my
life in Singapore is no where near as hectic as my London life, I have found
myself with things to keep me entertained and occupied pretty much every night
since I arrived in Singapore. Dinners, cinema trips, house shopping and trying
out new places can be quite a time consuming game, so I’m actually quite happy
to have a my weekly AquaSpin classes now booked in as standard.
Whilst it can be annoying to be obliged to be at a class every week
without fail, it does force me into good behaviour for at least one night of
the week. Every little helps I suppose,
and I’ve got to start somewhere…
Very irritatingly, it wasn’t until
way too late that I realised I had left my sensible swimming costume at the
spin pool after last weeks session, so this week saw me trying to keep it
together in a fairly inappropriate bikini – I suppose it was half funny, once I
got past the struggles of trying to keep everything together and give the work
out my best effort too. It was an all girl class, which helped, but the female
instructor clearly noticed my difficulties at the start of the session and
insisted on laughing along with me the whole way through. She’s a nice girl!
Once the class was done and I made
my way home and tried to aid my recovery with a healthy (lazy – sometimes scrambled
eggs is all I have the energy for) dinner it was time to Skype with Tanya and
Eileen – two of my old work buddies! From the corner of the coffee shop where
they were having their lunch we spent some time catching up on what’s been
happening for the past few weeks, how things are developing and what the new
boy is like (yuck!).
With family internet issues and a
distinct lack of Skype connections amongst my other friends this was actually
my first Skype home since I’ve been here – it’s weird to think it’s been a full
month, and yet only a month since I was last back there. I kept asking the
girls is there was anyone new there, if anyone had left and what other gossip
there was, completely ignoring the fact that a month is no time at all and it
takes well over a month to either recruit new staff, or for old staff to work
their notice periods. Time really does fly! I can’t imagine what it’s going to
be like to speak to family and the uni girls, but hopefully we’ll get time to
chat soon!
March is already set to pass in the blink of an eye (with two weeks
booked out with a San Francisco trip) and a couple of weekends with
mini-adventures lined up, so it’s going to be summer and time for a week back
at home before I know it.
