for someone as nomadic as me, it has been nothing short of amazing that i have remained in singapore for so long.

Been doing touristy things this few days.

Had a hard time deciding whether to see Harry Potter naked on stage or a feel-good musical. It was a hard decision which i agonised over ;P If you were me, what would you pick?

Point form update:

The weather wasn't as bad as I feared. Only -1 deg C instead of -10 deg C. Quite nice to see snow again, albeit dirty, muddy snow.
