1月31日 小印度的Prince of Wales這是一家背包客喜愛的旅舍, 位于小印度, 外牆漆上鮮黃色, 與四周陳舊的店鋪不太相稱, 給人一種鶴立雞群的感覺。 經營者是個澳洲人。他的幽默感是在名片上的職業那欄印上洗杯工人。一踏進旅舍,會先看到一個小小的表演台, 每天有不同國籍的樂隊或歌手表演。旅舍的氣氛很隨性；有些表演者很年輕, 親朋好友舉家來捧場, 有時場面冷冷清清,看著都替表演者難過。 旅舍有大概有兩三樓高吧, 不太肯定。樓上是客房, 樓下是接待處, 有幾張沙發和一個小書櫥, 如果不嫌吵的話, 可以在那裏看書報雜志。樓下也有一個小吧台售賣啤酒和飲料, 我與阿沙喜歡那裏出售的啤酒。它是從澳洲一家叫Grand Ridge Brewery 的釀酒廠進口的, 旅舍裏沒有售賣食物, 店主不介意你從隔壁的咖啡店買回來吃。每個星期天有特別的廚師烹調的印度煎餅是我與阿沙的最愛。 小印度富有傳統文化色彩, 印度客工喜歡聚積在此,星期天是他們的休假日,尤其熱鬧。 旅舍旁有個露天花園, 除了觀看電視播放的運動節目, 也有一張擡球桌供人消遣。我喜歡坐在那裏看籬笆外的印度客工, 籬笆內外好像兩個世界,那麽近,又仿佛那麽遠！ 1月24日 Nirai KanaiOne of my favorite restaurants in Singapore is Nirai Kanai. It’s located at Tanglin Shopping centre. Stepping into the restaurant, one will feel as though transported into another world. They serve Okinawa cuisine, rice tea and liquor. All the food is a refreshing change from regular Japanese fare. Pork belly stew and stir fry bitter-gourd are my favorite dishes. 1月6日 回家
以爲東南亞的十二月, 說什麽也好過北歐的綠色聖誕。一下飛機, 迎面而來的是微寒的季風雨。接下來的幾天都是雨天。連綿不斷的細雨, 並沒有阻擋人們迎接佳節的喜悅。購物中心依舊人潮擠擠。除了國人, 還有許多趁假期前來旅遊和購物的旅客。
市面依舊繁榮,我的老家依然不變。走在熟悉的街道上, 擠在人群中的我有些徬徨。空氣裏仿佛是似曾相似的感覺, 又仿佛有些遙遠的距離感。隱隱約約中的歸屬感和安全感,又好象揮之不去。我試著想找出不同的地方, 欲又尋遍不獲。 太多事情要辦,太多朋友要見,太多美食要嘗！加上弟弟的婚禮。于是,接下來的幾天, 我們忙得連睡眠都不足, 更何況是見朋友。我也沒有時間感慨了。 弟弟的婚禮過後, 我與阿沙就飛去清邁度假了。這次見不到的朋友請見諒, 下次再回家時再聚吧！ 1月3日 Home Rainy HomeWe were in Singapore for Christmas. I was really looking forward to the Monsoon in Asia, it has to be better than winter in Nordic. Isn't it?
It was raining when we arrived, and it continued to rain for the next few days.
In fact, the week before, heavy rains has caused chaos across many areas in Singapore. This is very unusual for Singapore, the last time it came close to as bad was 8 years ago, in 1998.
TRAFFIC jams, floods, felled trees, a collapsed shophouse and mudslides. The worst hit area was along Thomson Road; a week after the flood, the owners of 11 nurseries are still trying to pick up the pieces.
Here are some pictures from internet.
11月22日 Little India in SingaporeWe had Indian food in Mogul India restaurant in town tonight. We ended up there after swimming as we bumped into friends at the swimming complex. The food was excellent and we had good company. It was a pleasant evening. There is a place called 'Little India' in Singapore. When we were living in Singapore, K and I enjoyed strolling around this colorful ethnic quarter. It is packed with interesting things to discover. We even bought Sari and tailor made Punjabi suits there.
