The Part about servinga 2nd Deteachment in Brunei

071455MAY2005ZT

'well u got urself into this mess in the 1st place.' said my brother Shaun. Truth was i was told to do so (read: forced/co-erced) as part of quote" serving your duty to the country' unquote.

i really miss Singapore now...my family (in a way-well i dun miss my family's hysterics), my friends back home, my 'children' (sic: not) my clubbing nites (hehe) and bed!!!! i so miss my bed and bolster and pillows...sleeping in the bunk give sme a headache everytime i wake up in da morning.

since our arrival here to the sultanate, a 'series of unfortunate events' took place. cos someone in my bunk watched Lemony Smicket's A series of Unfortunate Events starring Jim Carrey i think. anyhow i for one am not the type who goes believing in superstition...(most of the time anyway) but seeing how watching this movie is somewhat taboo...

our own version of unfrotunate events were actually some technical failures on the aircraft-which left alot of ppl in the detachment groaning and moaning...heck u dun hear of the pilots and aircrew complaining do ya???

sighz....a few more weeks....

The Part about Gastro-Orgasmic Experiences...

Such experiences are to be savoured for a lifetime...

on monday nite, my grandma treated me and my 4 other cousins (incl my brother) to dinner at a restaurant..
specifically the Bar & Billard Room at Raffles Hotel. it was simply wow...artwork appetizers..super deeee-lish main courses and ooohhh death by chocolate deserts...such a perfect buffet....sighz..pity it all had to end

i'd never had such a fantastic meal in all my life...imagine having a fresh scallop served wif a lite cream sauce in a tequila shot glass, smoked felt salmon wrapped with caviar ARGH!.....such dreams are made up of good food....heheh

and today..i was invited to a wine tasting session organised by Lush 99.5FM. I dragged my godbro Marcus along for the event. Your wondering how i was lucky enough to be invited? well i'm an avid listener of the station (they play stuff ur average singaporean would ignore...nu jazz, bossa nova, lounge, chill out music) and they asked listeners to SMS to them for an invitation to the session.

anyway i've learnt that wines DO NOT have to be orthodoxically paired (ie: seafood with white wine and red meat with red wine) You can actually mix wines and food as long as u like both the food and wine your serving. however the only thing you have to bear in mind is the taste of the food. Food alters the taste of wine..not the other way round as many people think. So the different types of wine actually taste different because the taste of the food (sweet, sour, bitter, salt and spice) alters the wine... therefore...taste the wine before u consume your meal and when u take a bite of your food. you would be able to notice a difference....

The Part about Eternal Sailing

271735MAR2005ZT

another reason to sail
is to leave the land's salt for the sea's
to leave the damned dirt of the country side
for the freedom of the breeze

tarry no longer, for the horizon awaits
tarry no longer lest daybreak awaits,
leave while darkness hangs
where sun and moon would dwell and meet
and sail upon Admiral Weather's eyes

for i leave not only my country of birth
for i also i leave behind
my beloved family
my dearest of friends
and unrequited love
that left me by

let no sail be torn usunder,
let the ocean's salt smart my heart
ignoring my heathen cries of lost love
let it cleanse my soul, spirit
renew my dreams and hopes

or let it cast my soul and body into the dark blue yonder
let my spirit burn and be torn apart
for the ocean shall claim me as its beloved
for time eternal shall forsake
forevermore
my claim on my heart
