David Beckham

I slept mostly on Monday did not go out till lunch. After lunch I went to Ikea to do some shopping and called up colleague as to what she is upto. She told me that the managers mother is here and she is taking her around. She asked me to come to Mustafa and I agreed as I had to get money exchanged. We met up and had dinner and I came back to my room. I have spent nearly four hours in typing this portion. The trip was a good learning experience, I realized that I should have gone for a package trip than being adventurous but no regrets. Been there done that, could have done more but the place did not deserve me as a tourist. Anyhow the night I returned to Singapore Bhoot movie was being aired on the TV saw that and after that saw Last Action Hero……two movies straight in the night.

On Tuesday till lunch I was in my room drafting mail and editing my photos. For lunch I went Novena where a Tahi food festival is going on. I bought Thai Da Da Noodles and spring rolls, the noodles was really great hot and spicy. After having lunch I went to the Singapore Philatelic Museum. It had some good collection of stamps. I bought some 2500+ stamps for 3500 bucks. All kind of stamps from all over the world, Malaysia, Singapore and nude stampsJ. Keshav feeling good uh…..i got a box of 1000 stamps just for you. A huge collection and the IOC Session stamps too that is happening here today. There are so many that I can spend a whole week looking at them and sorting……phew.After seeing the museum I went to the Central Fire Station Museum it was a fire station with all old fire extinguisher equipment. Behind the museum there is Fort Canning Park. It is a hill, on the top of the hill is present Fort Canning where the king used to live in the 19th century. It is a beautiful place admits a lot of greenery. I was surprised to find so much green in the centre of Singapore. I spent around one hour on the top of the hill. I knew that the 117th IOC session was starting today in Singapore and I took my chances to the venue The Raffels Convention Centre, there was tight security and no chances of me going there. So I headed towards The Esplanade. There was some drumming going on there with some typical Chinese dragon dance, I wanted to watch it so I went there. To my surprise all the delegates from the 5 cities were arriving there. And what do I see David Beckham……wahoooooooooooooooooo I saw him it was a great feelingJ. He had come here to represent London. Raul was also here for Madrid and Muhamad Ali for NY, but these guys were not be seen. Beck was wearing a light brown suit and trouser, boy he had that gentle man looks and he sure is he waved at us as he entered the theatre with his compatriots. I waited for nearly one hour for the others to arrive, but they had already arrived at the venue. So I headed back to the Raffels MRT. On the way is the Fullerton Hotel. Here I saw all kind of cars Benz A-Class, Rolls Roy, Lexus, BMW 7-Series and convertibles. I shot all of themJ…….somebody might have thought me as a mad guy tacking snaps in the parking lot……who gives a damn. So I got back to Novena got a tuna bun and two cans of beer. Had the bun and a can of beer and I am done telling you people about my endeavors.
