終於等到時間差不多，問了飯店的櫃枱要如何到Bugis，搭了公車再轉捷運，終於到達Bugis，
據說Bugis是全新加坡最便宜的商圈，果真賣的衣服、飾品都不是太貴，但這是我旅程的起點，所以盡量降低自己的購買慾望。
Finally it was about time to leave the hotel. I asked the reception how to go to Bugis and I took bus and MTR to Bugis.
People said it is the cheapest shopping area in Singapore and it seems true the cloths, accessories were not too expensive. However, my journey just started, I tried to low my shopping desire.
一直到我經過一個賣耳環、項鍊的攤販，發現東西的確便宜又好看所以停下來買，
和老闆閒聊，他是大陸來新加坡定居的人，當他知道我從台灣來，他居然說要送我一對耳環，因為當年他還在大陸時，認識很多台商，都對他相當好，幫了他許多忙。
這真是讓我很驚訝，沒想到在新加坡短暫的停留，都能遇見這樣的好事。
Until I went through one table which sells ear rings and necklaces and I found the price is extremely valuable. I decided to stop and buy some stuffs. I was chatting with the owner and learnt he is original from China.
While he found I’m from Taiwan, he said he wants to give me one pair ear rings for free and I can have whatever I want. It is because he met many Taiwanese business men while he was still in China and they all treated him very well.
I was so surprised and can not believe I can have such a good luck in Singapore even I was just a short stop over.
逛完街，距離到機場的時間，還有些時間，所以我隨意找了一間路邊的美髮沙龍，想簡單洗頭和修剪頭髮，這是我在異地常做的一種冒險，不熟悉的城市和不認識的設計師，我卻給予極高的信任，讓設計師自由發揮。
人是很奇妙地，當你越信任一個人的時候，對方總會更有自信的付出，也因此能做到最好，所以我很少遇見讓我受驚嚇的結果。
After finishing shopping, I still got a bit time before went to the airport. I randomly found a hairdressing salon which was located next to the main road and decided to have a washing and simple haircut. I use to do it as an adventure activity while I am new to a place and I gave my highest trust to the unfamiliar hairdresser in an unfamiliar city. The hairdresser had the freedom to do anything to me. I found people are very interesting.
While you fully trust someone, the person would have more confidence to make the effort and consequence the person can usually make it as the best outcome. Therefore, I rarely faced “scaring result”.
不過，這次是我讓設計師受到了驚嚇。
當我告訴設計師，我正在一個人旅行，她感到很驚訝，先是佩服我的勇氣，再者是訝異我的家人怎麼能接受這件事。光一個人旅行這件事，她就提出許多問題，所以我就沒再和她提，其實這是一個人的蜜月旅行，避免她因受到太多驚嚇，而失去她應有的剪髮專業。
但一連串的問題中，我意識到，接下來的旅程，透過分享一個人的旅行、一個人的婚禮、一個人的蜜月，我將會驚嚇更多的人，換來更多的問題，但也讓我有更多的機會解釋分享。
However, this time I scared the hairdresser instead. While I told her I am travelling alone and she was so surprised. She firstly impressed my brave and then wondered how my family accepted it. She asked me lots questions about travelling alone so I did not even mention it is my solo honeymoon. I did not want her to lose her profession after too scared.
Through her non stop questions, I realised I might scare more people in my journey by sharing my travelling, my wedding and my honeymoon. Also, I would get more questions and I can explain and share more about my ideas.
對了，最後頭髮有被剪好!
Right, my hair was cut properly in the end.
