Well, been back for slightly over a week now. Not holding up under the heat too well. Bathe 5 times a day and suffer from splotchiness and rash and itches and pimples. It's a real battle going on on my face and to top it off, my sinuses are just going into overdrive. I'm dripping from my eyes and nose. It doesnt help that even my asphixiating (however you spell that) laughter causes me to break into perspiration. everywhere is just fucking panas and I can't wear any less clothes.
Singapore still never fails to amaze me. It's geographical size, the incredibly small community, the 24 hour food stalls and yes, the heat.
On the size
I take 20 min to drive to Holland V, red lights and time spent parking inclusive and i think that's far.
On the small community
I was sleeping on the plane when I was roused by a soft hand on my shoulder and this thick Singpaorean accent from the air stewardess enquiring," Excuse me ah, but were you from PL? I think we were classmates."
On the nightlife,
There's always something going on, some new bar (of which singpaore has an awesome amt of snazzy ones) or some new prata store. It's kinda sad that the siglap meepok isnt as yummy or that Adam's nasi lemak and prawn mee seems to have taken a nosedive in quality, but i totally DIG the drive thru mcDonalds with their uber urban chic concepts and the fact that a FOURTH prata store, differentiating itself by selling thosai has swueezed itself among 3 others on a 50 m strip near my house.
Realized the other day that while cathing up with frields that i have been drinking every single day since i got home. i need to try to cut down on that soon but not yet cos if i don't get that illusive hot bod now, its going to be never.
