Singapore

My holiday in Singapore has been really pleasant and unfortunately for me, extremely unproductive. I spend most days at home ignoring the rest of the world and playing with my dogs while watching the CSI DVDs that mom has started to collect. Yeah, my new obession. When I start reading a textbook, I find that it's no where near as interesting as cracking a case with Greg Sanders or Horatio Caine. I can't believe Speedle died! But I have to admit, Wolf is definitely cuter to watch.

Weather here has been two extremes. I am told that we're hitting the end of the storm season but on some days, the sky baffles me dotting itself with a few fluffy white clouds and immense sunlight. On other days, we get dry storms with sprinkles of rain here and there but thunder and lightning to scare Curly a little.

It's back to reality for me soon. Wednesday morning flight out. It's a 9pm flight which should be awful cause I won't be sleeping most of it. I think I might cry... Oh well, life goes on and I'm supposed to be camped in the library. Definitely need to make up for not studying in the last week and a bit.

The most amusing part of my visit back was going drinking with my god-brother. He's such a lightweight! 2 drinks and 2 shots in three hours and he was down. Ok, so the flaming lambor was horrible. That was several shots mixed in so even the colors were a little weird so even the sight made me very glad I wasn't the one drinking... :) Before 2pm, he was ready to hit the sack. What a disappointment! :P To be fair, he does have an excuse, he lives in a country where alcohol is considered and illegal substance to trade. Scary isn't it? Can you imagine people like Rhod or Daimo living there? They'll die of thirst! Not to mention that a lot of the women there are muslim... ;)

Home again

It's been a mad rush the last few weeks. From the moment my T appeared at my door to my birthday and beyond. Now that I'm home, my mind has settled much more. Towards the end, I was close to having a minor breakdown due to stress what with everything going on around me. In truth, I can barely remember half of what has happened. Everything's just been swallowed up somewhere...

Onto brighter things, the most recent memories are of my birthday. There was a dinner on monday at Zizzi's. Some couldn't make it but I had a lovely time regardless. Then on Tuesday night, I had a surprise party from my Japanese and Chinese friends. It was amazing the amount of trouble that they'd gone through for me. I felt terrible but so happy at the same time. They made Apricot Cheesecake as well. That was gorgeous... Wednesday brought around a little gathering at mine with Jen's cake. That was lovely too. I couldn't believe how big she'd made it. Everyone had gone through so much trouble in those three days to make sure I had a really good 21st birthday. Thanks so much guys. I don't really know what to say - a definite first, if I may say so myself. ;)
