Writing on the first of November
I am back updating this blog again because I believe someone will read this blog soon. If I don’t update this little blog, people will think that it is a dead-link. If ever there is someone who decided to read this blog, this is a good post to start with.
Let me start off with this new song by Bon Jovi call “What Do You Got?” (The video below). After listening to it for a while, I kind of like it especially the first half of the song. It feels to me that Bon Jovi has shifted their music style to a more subtle approach. So enjoy it.
So…curious about what’s been going on in my life so far? I can’t tell you every details of my past 1 years 3 months but I will try to summarize the major events. The first question even I asked myself is, “why did I stop blogging?”. I was in the military and during my time in the army, there are countless warnings by the officers not to blog our activity on the internet. So as a precaution, I decided not to blog for the time being.
I will start off this “summarize” blog with my army adventure. I had a my shares of adventure in the army, 2 of the most memorable ones are the overseas military exercise in India and Thailand. Both of them have their own pros and cons. For example, in India, the weather is much more cooling than expected. I always stereotype (assume sounds like a better word) India to be a HOT country, but when I got to Mumbai in around October last year, the weather was actually much colder than I initially had assumed. It was in the region 20-25 degrees celsius at night, maybe even lower. However, in the day, the weather is just like Singapore, it’s hot but not humid (unlike Singapore, it’s not too dry too, just Okay). The food they served in india was by far, the best army food I’ve ever tasted. Filled with spices and everything nice, I always thought powerpuff girls will pop out of the food anytime (okay, I am exaggerating here but the food is seriously great). The butterscotch ice creams, fanta oranges and lays potato chips are also some of the great delight in the India camp. Here are just 2 pictures to showcase my time in India.
The 4 Great Lays of India. HAHA. (The one on the top left is Magic Masala)
Somewhere in the caves of India.
The beach near Mumbai Gateway. Looks nice if you ask me.
India is already so long, I can’t imagine Thailand. Went to Thailand earlier this year, around May period (When there was a really bad riot in Thailand). We were sort of “low profile”, for security reasons, I don’t think I can divulge this piece of information. Thailand was a bad place to be in. It has bad weather, bad accommodation, bad army food (the food is prepared by army cook (the original army cook) unlike the food they served in army nowadays which is prepared by commercial companies). BUT, one thing that is fabulous about Thailand is the camp’s canteen. Full of good food (suited for Singaporeans with a hint of Thailand) and merchandise limited to Thailand and the camp. I shall let some pictures do the talking here.
Our favorite store in the canteen.
On the giant turtle.
The railway track. Quite scary if you ask me.
I think it is a river market.
I don’t think I would like to carry on this post as it is getting too long and I’ve been on this passage for quite a while now. Perhaps I will divide this topic into several parts to facilitate reading. Haha, I know, it’s like taking a short cut, but sometimes, you just got to do it.
