Love is in the air...

I had such a wonderful time yesterday! We went to Raffles City first to grab a bite. Edwin had that Japanese fish pancake thing, with ham and cheese in it. I had a banana meringue pie, which was so lovely that I swooned with every bite. Edwin took a couple of bites, deemed it too fluffy and girly, and set out to reclaim his masculinity by eating a manly-looking doughnut.

And then it was the highlight of the day - the Singapore Flyer! Personally I don't think it's too bad, just overpriced and there's too much hype that it doesn't live up to. But otherwise, it makes for a pleasant enough experience, and there was a student promotion, so it's okay.

The day wasn't perfect though. There was this elderly man on the shuttle bus to the Flyer, and he was part of the staff. He had to collect $2 because the bus is only free after 6pm, and the money can be redeemed upon purchase of Flyer tickets. The thing was that we had already purchased our tickets earlier, and Edwin asked him if we could still get our money back. The man was so rude, speaking in the worst tone possible.

The standard of service in Singapore is disappointing enough, and this man was definitely not helping. He was there when we took the bus back to the station, and his attitude towards the visitors actually got worse. When we got off the bus, Edwin grumbled, "Stupid old man. I'm never taking that bus again. The source of the swine flu is in there."

That aside, it was a good day.

And I feel so blessed, knowing that there will be plenty more good days to come.
