for crying out loud

*pops open a can of soft drink*

ahhhhhhhh...finally, some time to steal a break. a short one before i plunge back into the madness of these couple of days. yesterday, the first break i had for lunch was at 2:30pm, and only then because i was too weak to continue. i'm rushing to tie up loose ends before i head down to the little dot tomorrow for another span of moonlighting. as a chef, a maid (sorry, no sexy short french maid uniform for moi), a hospital escort and a slave.

the good thing is...i get to leave behind the pile of files on my desk and let it accumulate a thicker surface of dust. the bad thing is........there's absolutely nothing to do in the little red dot. don't listen to the recent spat of advertisements in the paper. i'm telling you....there is nothing to do there. one can only shop so much...and currency exchange doesn't exactly make it a conducive place to murder your wallet. i've been to vivo, the hottest and newest place in town, and it's really not as great as it's cracked up to be, nor as big as i thought it would be actually. (sorry, citizens of the little red dot. don't be offended. it's a fact).

i have a list, albeit an imaginary one in my head, of things to do. i'm going swimming (putting down sunblock in check list), if i don't chicken out before my feet touches the freezing cold water. i'm going to the singapore science center....or the convention center...i don't know. i'm going cycling!! this is the highlight of my trip. cycling, cycling, cycling! malaysians will know that there aren't many good places to cycle here. singapore....they have a long stretch of road meant just for cycling...and get this, along the seaside!!! in my stuck-uppy opinion, that's the best thing they have going for them. then again, not everybody likes to cycle.... watch out for your feet, hands and other body parts, people in singapore. i'm an unlicensed, unqualified and untrained cyclist. for the sake of life-preservation, stay away from east coast!

what else is there? please spare me the zoo, botanic garden, night safari, sentosa, dhl balloon stuff. i may be bored...but i'm still lucid. pooh? monty? any help?

i'll update if i have anything interesting to share. but if you don't see me....the hot sun could have fried my brain. those who will be missing me.....please don't cry so loud horrrrr. your neighbour may be wondering why.

how you come here ah? on a first class ticket on MAS?

Of course there is nothing to do here! little wonder that come weekend, 1/2 the population crawls up north to Malaysia?

For shopping, you need to get over the exchange rate blockage lah, just spend it! Gucci, Ferraguamo, Calvin Klein...etc..etc All the handbags screaming for attention. Then there is the cosmetics/fragrance section...

Las montaƱas said...

Yes, and thanks for the warning. We are really wary of unlicensed malaysian cyclists!

dear monty: first class? you pay for me ah? u shouldn't complain of over-cramping then, 1/2 of them are in m'sia during weekends! :-p shopping? i don't fancy fighting with the aunties for a ferragamo bag. it's super sale time after all! i can't stand the crazy people.

if you get your leg run over, don't say i didn't warn you!

dear may: sounds simply wonderful....unfortunately, reality doesn't often become that way...:-)

dear cocka: coyote ugly pub? do you have to be ugly like coyote cocka before they admit you? :-p kaka. nahhhh, slaves don't get much leave time.

dear zewt: u tak tahu ah? kan sudah kata, i'm acting as slave, hospital escort, maid and etc down here. mil's here seeking treatment and it's our shift to take care.

dear kw: still looking forward to cycling....but the domestic immigration dept a little lazy to move his butt :-(

dear wuching: the merlion will be so depressed, looking so old and forlorn besides beautiful me! so, i'll spare 'it' the heartache. :-p

dear jonzz: tank kiu, tank kiu.
