places to check out in west of singapore!

http://www.thesmartlocal.com/read/singapore-west

Here are 23 things to do in Singapore West side! My favorites are the Tea Party Cafe, star-gazing at Science Center and walking the old railway line.

Also, today there was an odd coincidence. I was standing behind this guy who was dressed quite casually in jeans and t-shirt at the priority access security line. Piqued my interest because he's kindof cute and he's so casually dressed, yet group 2. i looked at his bag to figure out if he's silver, gold or what status, but couldn't figure it out. his bag was quite formal though, so i figured he had some kind of professional job, but was creative/music-related maybe?

i also wondered where he was flying to, maybe my flight to denver? or maybe a flight to chicago like so many others were flying to? i wondered if he would end up sitting next to me, which would be kindof funny.

as i walked past him to get to security, he was walking my direction too. i turned out to go to the united club and he vanished. that was the last i thought of him - or so i thought.

i got on the plane later, and put my stuff up and down. then sat down. 

and lo and behold! it was the same guy who was standing in line in front of me at security! the guy i briefly wondered whether we would end up sitting next to each other! and then we DO! what are the odds of that??

he didn't seem to recognise me though, so i was wondering if i wanted to talk to him or not. in the end i did. he sneezed, i blessed him, he thanked me and then i told him i noticed him at security because he was dressed differently from us.

we launched into conversation and turned out he's deloitte. learnt a lot about his practice. interesting stuff. he's also a berkeley alumni! gobears!

life is so full of odd coincidences.
