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... ;)
