    Hello Claire. For your info, we have been advised to respect the Muslims there by not eating pork and drinking alchoholic drinks publicly. Such drinks will only be available after 7.30pm and would be sold at a discreet joint. :-|

    gag! didnt know you are going to a place like that. in any case, hmm.. that means, you’ll just have to outwit, outlast, outplay yourself. except that you’re not getting 1million dollars as prize money. good luck still.

    […] Though waking up at 0700hours and rushing downtown in a MRT train was not my idea of fun, getting into Raffles City Convention Centre is a far better experience than an episode from Survivor, something Tuna has to endure for the next 10 days. […]

  27. sam January 28th, 2007 2:58 pm

    It was raining most of the time before the white water rafting day… yesterday (the white water rafting day) was extra sunny… the sky was blue. Cool breeze… Perfect recipe to get sun burn. My laps and forearms are bbq-ed when I took the two-hour rafting trip down the rapids.

    Don’t have enough bandwidth for photos. Will put some up when I come back. Cheerios!

  28. sam January 30th, 2007 10:49 pm

    […] I am going to AstroGal’s party tonight. Her TV show was axed. Last night was the finale. The party tonight is to wrap up all these years of sweet, sour, bitter and hot (a Chinese expression for better or worst of life). I got to be there to mix some cocktail on AstroGal’s demand. Hope I am not too drunk later tonight to upload some photos of Survivor. […]
