Life as a Whole

Dear All,

It's been a while since I last posted anything, and I heartily apologise! Much has happened in the span of what, 3 weeks, and I'm seriously starting to think that life's gonna change for many people, including me, in the coming future.

First off though, my trip to Hanoi was a total total blast, and I guess I now have an inkling of what it's like to live like a king! I mean, it's not every day that you have a private butler to your hotel room, truffled omelettes for breakfast and champagne round the clock! Aside from this, the food in Vietnam is nothing short of magical, and at absurdly cheap prices too! We managed, on the last day of our trip, to rustle up some Suckling Pig and Roast Duck from a famous stall (which turned out to be a dirty-ass shop at the roadside with dirty-ass fan blowing on their Suckling Pig and Roast Duck, with a dirty-ass bucket of sauce next to it... D'oh!), and it was absolutely fantastic pork, for about US$16 for a kilo of Suckling Pig! Woah, if this was the situation in sunny S'pore, half of S'pore's Chinese population's gonna come out looking like the here for the ASEAN Sumo Wrestling Federation Championships. Vietnam's a beautiful, beautiful place, but akin to a beautiful homeless woman. If you can look past the dirt and the grime that has accumulated throughout the years, you'll see a gorgeous, tragic beauty, unique and unsurpassed.

If you guys have seen the F1 races recently, you'd have seen something to remember for a while to come. Now, I'm not an F1 fan myself, and even after having the privilege to attend the event in a corporate suite, I still can't see myself watching F1 on a regular basis, but it was interesting in its own way, I suppose. To hear engines roaring and tearing out eardrums, with vehicles speeding at up to 300km/h, it's a unique, one-of-a-kind experience that you can't find anywhere else! Apparently, due to the adrenalin, the concentration and the heat of the car, F1 drivers lose an average of 6kg every race! Woah, that's cool. Now all the Singapore government has to do is find F1 cars large enough to fit the fat, tubby kids that are increasing in multitudes all over Singapore, and watch their problems 'melt' away! =D

With so many things going on now, how does one keep track of things?! On another note, Farand Chen's going into Tekong in 9 days time, and the jabroni's actually excited! Good on you, mate! Gonna miss you!

Come tomorrow, the age of food arrives. Hope the world is ready for it! =)

Back Again!

Hanoi in two days. Hmmmm....
