the layover

last january, philip, mike's best man, migrated to new zealand to study. on the way there, there was a one-day layover in singapore. mike asked me if philip could stay here for the night. of course, dear. :)

the press release was that philip will go here alone, and that i will take him to the merlion area for a quick tour before his flight to new zealand. while mike was so sweet to brew up a wonderful surprise, i somehow sensed that he will show up on my doorstep :)

and my pagfifeeling was right. there they were waiting outside our door at around 2am that friday. :) sorry, love! dapat pala nagpanggap akong nagulat. hehehe pero the gesture was appreciated 1000%

the next day, we took philip to the main spots here in sg.

we realized this is our first pic at the merlion. pic courtesy of philip, the best man.

sige makiki tourist mode muna kami with philip. the esplanade area...

one of the many bridges...

the united colors of benetton...

art work in a tunnel...

clark quay at day - minus the lights, loud music, crowd...

the fort canning park...

an empty bus with philip...

and then we rushed to the airport to bring philip a step closer to his dreams.

it was an interesting tour. the weather cooperated. maybe it cooperated a little too much. hehehe. it didn't rain, but boy was it sunny outside. we walked a lot, but nobody really complained. good good :)

dear philip, may your bold step bear fruits. may you get what you want and need. may you be a fighter and survivor. may you be united one day to the woman you love. may life treat you kind, but not spoil you. all the best!

dear mike, thank you for the surprise. :) loved it. i want more of that. hihihi. may we find ourselves closer to our dreams each day... wherever that may be.
