40 years

Happy 40th Birthday Singapore!!

it's national day again! time sure have passed fast. this time last year, i was still an innocent wide-eyed kid watching the parade not knowing what those shiny golden things on the soldiers' shoulders mean. a week later, i was off starting my national service journey. i've seen and learnt lots of things during the past year. and no matter how much i loathe serving, i gotta admit its taught me its fair share of life.

i was at dxo earlier drinking and basically making merry while waiting for the fireworks to start. its a national obsession i tell you. no matter how many times we've seen the fireworks, every single year on this day, thousands of singaporeans will gather at the parade venue to watch it. and the best part is they act as if they're seeing it for the first time in their lives. dxo at the esplanade is an excellent location to catch the fireworks this year. we were sitting at the balcony area and the works went off almost directly in front of us. it was like seeing an explosion of lights happening right in front of your face. simply beautiful!

roon took us back in her car after that and she told me of all the places that i've to visit when in bangkok. thanks for the heads up roon, i'll be sure to check those places out and bargain till they drop.. or i drop. which ever comes first! it's off to thailand for me tmr. i'll be gone from the 10th to the 14th. gonna go into a shopping frenzy there, go broke and eat bread for the rest of the month. catch ya guys when i'm back! adios!
