The beautiful aroma of the barbie is till hanging in my hair. Not that i want it there though...its stubborn...very stubborn...but a good reminder of the huge amounts of decidedly unhealthy food i've consumed through the night. I mean...barbequed food cannot be healthy, defying all reasoning. Its carcinogenic...and mostly oily, fatty...with large amounts of preservatives, and what nought. But, for all the negatives, the night was rather fun filled, and my bottle of vodka and my bottle of chardonnay was finally finished. Plus...the company was rather fun to be around with...even if we see each other for most of the week. Yes, yes...just came back from Lawrence's 21st birthday...
Happy Birthday Lawrence!!!
Unsurprisingly...with the crowd and our current prediciament, the dominant topic was the S.A.F... Mainly bad, not much good...if there's any i can even remember. Somehow...for all the bad points that we see...all the flaws...i can at least understand why the government or whoever's in-charge made those decisions. Crap they may be...but its the best of the worst. Whatever...still...my line is...understanding doesn't mean agreeing. However, having said that...my impression of the military in Singapore has definitely changed after becoming part of it. Worse still is that its not for the better. I think i should leave it at that...lest i start going on and on about its short comings.
Well then...i've been left in charge to plan our trip...Lawrence, Weiliang and me to KL this coming block leave. We're not waiting for the guard duty schedule to come out. One thing i've learned from the army...army style? F**k care. I've missed out on one trip to beloved Australia earlier this year...i'm definitely leaving this place this coming block leave.
Anyway...original destination was Bangkok...but after that bombing...Lawrence's parents got rocked...and didn't want him to go. No point arguing geography and the fact that being engineers...we cam sleep with bombs going off next to us. Natural parental instincts overrule all...so Thailand is out. Bintam and Batam...oh no....too expensive. Hong Kong....would be lovely...but we're kind of short on dough? So that leaves Kuala Lumpur...its cheap too... Genting is for kids...so KL here we come. My original intention was to fly there. But...i can't find cheap enough tickets so i'm resigned to coaches. Its now about set...with a 3 days 2 nights trip...how pathetic. But then...a holiday is what i desperately need NOW...so thats what i'm gonna get...no matter what. We have some ironing our of details to do first but....i'm going on a holiday...OUT OF SINGAPORE...that's final.
Happy Birthday Lawrence!!!
