... a lot of circumstances, I am a fake. I am a counterfeit bill which was manufactured with such a high degree of professionalism that always prevails in the market. I wear the mask and extend my smile like invisible tentacles, then I shall beg my prey. How eager am I to register my true feelings? Will I ever shed this fake skin of a professional people pleaser? Will I stop being volcanic and start to be rational, bleached and cold like the real me inside?<br><br ...

... bad guys would have gotten in. Didn't fall asleep for about 2 hours after that (the only reason Chelsey said that she could finally fall asleep was that somehow she rationalized in her conscious/unconcious state that it was just a fire drill and nothing more than that and it was no big deal if we missed just this one). The next morning we talked to the front desk guy who said that the power had gone out and the panel box was in our room ...

... we headed back to our hostel and booked onto a night Safari, what turned out to be a tram ride around a dark zoo, lol!! But the shows were good and it was a giggle so nothing lost. No photos of animals thou as we weren't allowed to use the flash!<br>Well off to bed as going to attempt to get up earlier tomorrow and go to Sentosa island, fingers crossed for a better nights sleep as well!!

... leave the Singaporean army (which in itself is something to celebrate), 2) we had a sizeable amount of leave to clear and 3) we had not been overseas for some time, what better way to break the monotony of daily life by taking a short city break in Hong Kong? Besides, it had been 7 years since I had last visited the city, and I was curious as to how much it had changed over the years - Hong Kong is supposedly one of the fastest-changing cities on Earth. Finally, I needed to see for ...

... own special little talents, like when you ask her to move out of the way she has this knack of moving straight to where you wanted to go. Anyway, here is our tale of the land of Erin's.<br><br>Diary of Singapore...<br><br>7/09/09 - Action Day - arrive, get food, go to hospital, get erin sorted (see previous blog), leave her in hospital, eat, collapse in stinky, mouldy hotel room.<br><br>8/09/09 - Waiting Day - get up at 7.30am, get ready in quick time, go to hospital, miss erin ...

... been nicer to have some idea of where we were! We had to search to find a way out and finally got outside where the overall architecture of the place could be seen. There were some attractive spaces outside and clearly numbers of local people (mostly young and appearing fairly affluent) were hanging out enjoying the views over the river, the large TV screens and the performances on the stage. All around were different cafés including one where all the dishes (even the ice ...

... toons cartoons featuring Sylvester and Tweety and then some pink-filled, unrealistically cheesy Hilary Duff Lizzy McGuire tripe with Heather Locklear playing her mother. Bizarre. Especially because, as far as I could tell, there were no children in our carriage... Especially those who would find Lizzy McGuire appealing. Thankfully, the train was so loud I couldn't hear any of the film but the plot wasn't the most complicated.<br><br>Periodically during the journey, the train ...

Today Steve is off to work so I'm sightseeing in the colonial district. So after a midmorning coffee, to work out the plan for today I was off. <br><br>First stop Suntec mall I&#8217;ve decided a new computer may be needed in the future so I&#8217;m checking them out in Singapore. <br><br> <br><br>Then it was off to the Esplanade, staying underground to ...

... that what talks best is dollars, dinars, drachmas, rubles, rupees and pounds ****ing sterling (maybe forget pounds sterling) lol About going abroad and experience when u taste the world 16:06 something changes in you 16:06 the "innocence" is GONE 16:06 it's like survival skill since the last post... I've moved to Singapore. I've re-discovered my life. I am HAPPY. Cuz you know what - life is marvelous! ;) so ... what have YOU done lately?!

... digress) and St. Andrew's Cathedral. That evening was a dream romantic night. One could call it date night. We walked along the water's edge - the Singapore River brilliantly reflects all of the city lights and is lined by bars and restaurants - and enjoyed several drinks and some snacks before we boarded an old junk for a river cruise. It was odd to be around the happy hour banker crowd while I was sitting there in my cargo shorts enjoying a cold drink ...
