Number 1 and 2!

Yes! The count is now 2! Count for what? Count of friends or brothers from the US here in Singapore!

I was in the library today reading, when Wesley and Anant V. (both Phi Psis) called me to go for dinner at Old Airport Road. Wesley is Singaporean, so he shouldn't count, but he's a Phi Psi brother, so that counts. He's here doing his summer internship with PSC. Anant is here with ATI, doing his summer internship at the Biopolis. He's having a great time, already having stories of being nearly arrested by a cop and also partying his heart out at the clubs. It's great seeing both of them, plus two more of their friends from ATI. Talking with them about food, about their crazy experiences here, and promising to hang out more as the weeks pass, all makes the average day more bearable.

I know I'm going to get to see a few more friends this summer! I'm keeping count! Yay!

From the library, I also borrowed 14 books to read for the next 3 weeks. 2 are Chinese Sword-fighting novels, 1 is a novel by Anne Rice (she's a crazy writer, always writing about witches, vampires, and another species of humaniods, and incestuous relationships in the South), and a non-fiction called Singapore Inc. That'll keep me pretty occupied for a while, including all the paperwork that I have to deal with for the next week, both for my military service as well as my government.
