I dropped by car keys into the toilet today.
Fucking gross.
Well, at least it wasn’t number 2.
And definitely better than dropping my car keys next to my car and not knowing about it until someone calls me up from the police station.
Right?
Anyway, my car keys still work fine.
Thank goodness it’s perodua. keke 
It’s been only 3 days since I’ve been back.
It made me realise how much I really missed certain things in Malaysia.
… and how I’m already starting to miss certain things in Singapore.
Malaysia
1. Family
2. Friends
3. Food
4. My car
Singapore
1. Clean, maintained, taxis with un-dodgy looking drivers
2. MRT
3. Cleanliness
4. SGD1 for a can of coke (looking at it from a dollar to dollar point of view)
5. How I can just get to anywhere by foot of public transport
6. The general “safe” feeling
It’s sad to say that at the end of the day, it feels like, at the moment, the only thing thats keeping here is not even the country itself but my personal relationships with the people I like and love…. who could always follow me down to singapore..
But singapore has this cold, self-absorbed culture. It’s definitely not a place to retire because once you’re not useful to the economy anymore you’re tossed aside like used tissue. That’s the general feeling I get and have heard from the older more experienced folk.Niamah! Okokok I’m going to get that damn camera soon lah!!!
—————————————————————–
That strong urge to want to travel and see the world is back again. It’s poking my heart and tugging at my stomach. Again. I’m 28. If I don’t do this now, when will I ever do it? Yet, I can’t do it now because I don’t have the money, which I’m working for, and getting measly amounts of. And it seems like I’ll never earn enough to meet my goal. But I have to go NOW because I’m getting older and there will be only more commitments to come. But I can’t because I’m in the middle of nowhere of my career and if I stop now it would mean a blimp in the middle of nowhere. Which put me in the same level as a… fresh graduate except I’m like 7 years older than them, lose-lose for me. I fucking hate catch 22s.
I have to do this. Otherwise it’ll keep nagging at me and I won’t feel complete. But when? And how? What can I do oh what can I do?
I know one thing I should do is to get out of my ass and get some serious initial research done on this. It’s not as if it will miraculously appear in my mailbox one day with complete details on where to go, how to get there, where to live and to get it all done on no budget, would it? Would it?? 
Weather’s getting really erractic. One day rain rain rain rain rain. Another day humid like fuck. Yet another day scorching sun fries you. What the hell is going on?
Ben & Jerry’s ice cream is seriously rocking my socks off. Bought a pint of cookie dough and it feels like I can’t have enough of it but I MUST STOP EATING NOW. Freaking pringles of ice-cream. Why do you have to be so good and expensive. 
I’ve seen too many girls here wearing many variation of gladiator sandals. I know it’s supposed to be some latest trend or whatever but NO. UR DOIN IT RONG. Just because the ppl behind their multibillion corporates tell you it is doesnt make it IT. NO NO NO.
Tired. Have to wake up at 5 something AM tmrw to catch the first flight back then straight to the office. Sigh. Liddat lah.
Long fucking day. But let’s not talk about work. Ever.
I was wondering over the weekend, if those buskers/beggars in Orchard street needed a permit or not. I mean, this is a country which regulates everything after all! Then I found out later, to me (un)surprise that they DO need permits after all. holy shit what the fuck?
I saw more sparrows in Orchard Road. Yeay! It’s alive!
The Christmas decorations are starting to come up. It’s looking quite festive. Except I think everybody’s cutting back on expenditure so it looks very…. moderate. 10 years ago when I was visiting in Singapore, the decos were hardcore full on extravagant. Ginormous trees and tree decorations, Santa on his sleigh pulled by giant reindeers, giant gingerbread/toy houses, fake snow, blinking lights everywhere, giant snowmen, giant fake snowflakes….. maybe it’s still early. Let’s wait till next month to really see.
I have to start facing facts. I wasn’t sure before.. but I’m quite sure now… I think I’m allergic to beer. Coz everytime after I drink beer, the bottom part of my left eye where my eyebag is always swell. Looking like a big mosquito bite. seriously I swear to your god. Just on my left eye. Mosquito bite. Everytime I have beer. Is this an allergic reaction? Sigh. One less reason to live.
Have had the pleasure of tasting some Singaporean hainanese chicken rice at some famous market place in tanjang pagar. It was actually quite good. Got taste and everything yum yum and it was only 2.80!!!! CHEAP! AND NOT BAD! CAN CRY LOH! Then I had some fish slice mee hoon soup at market place, 5 bucks. Wasn’t half bad, but something was still missing. The meehoon was the laksa noodle type. Quite weird. But okay lah, not bad.
Back to Malaysia on Friday. Singapore counter shall be paused momentarily.
Sleepy already. G’nite!
Oh crap. Haven’t updated in 3 days. Guess I’ll do it in point form to keep it short. 
Saturday:
Avenue Q was good! But I did expect the original cast, and this show was mostly a Filipino cast. But still, I hummed along every song, laughed at every joke, clapped after every section. The main actress was mind blowingly fantastic. Trekkie Monster is still one of my favourite character. The internet is for porn shall remain one of my favourtise songs. But SGD80 for a 2 hour show is still very very painful, hehe. It’s playing until the end of the week - you really should catch it!
Brewerks right after. One whole tower full of golden ale. We were all very happy. And LOUD. VERY loud. Hehehe. Finally met Ah Suanie’s Ah Seng who is freaking hilarious and one of the most interesting characters I have ever met! Hellow! Nice to meet you! Can I get some beer credits too?
Then ramen right after. Char Siew ramen. At orchard Plaza. It was about 12+ bucks. VEry fucking worth it. Juicy Charsiew. Springy noodles. Tasty soup ooh the soup was good! So fanfuckingtasticly yummy….. I need another bowl right now…. MMMmMMmmmmMMmmMmmm… Why is it the food that ’s been good so far are the ones which are not local? Heh, so weird.
Sunday:
Walked along Orchard Road again. Met up with friends. Walked about abit. Stopped by for Coffee Bean. Lamented at how things are so much more cheaper for a Singaporean and etc…
Finally saw some real life birds along the streets. Phew. They DO exist!
One thing which was pointed out to me was that the pavements are so smooth. No cracks. No unevenness. No stray weeds. So clean well maintained. And… nice. In Kl, I would be tripping all over the place, dodging roots and open drains. Sigh.
Also visited Plaza Singapura today. Their carrefour has an extensive selection of foreign beer! It was a whole SHELF filled with beer from all parts of the world! US, China, Bavaria, Belgium… etc… etc…. PROJECT! I’m so going to try every beer there is and then blog about it! Just you wait for it! _excited_ It even had Carls Junior! So of course must try…. but nothing special loh, sigh.
(Btw, Ah seng - Flying dogs not very nice lah. you bluff me. )
Monday:
First day of work. Yeay. Nothing to say about that.
Tried Mos burger again, but this time - tried their rice burger. It sucked big time. No surprises there right?
So tired, and tomorrow’s only Tuesday.
Sian.
