Walking around the town

Took a walk around the city today. Just around the shopping district, Orchard Road, and to the comics shop. Everything's pretty much the same as always. The same type of people walking the streets, the same type of shops. Every shopping center looks pretty much the same too. Singapore has such a huge shopping culture, and everyone hangs out there. I remembered thinking, "Hmm, a change in life for a Singaporean must probably be going to a different shopping center next week to do their shopping or their coffee drinking."

I bumped into a few friends during my walkaround. Had a little catch up session. Two of them are scholars, one with the army armor unit, and the other with the navy. They have been back long before I was and started working already. One's going to Australia for the navy exercises on Wed and the army fellow is going to Fort Knox in August. Pretty tough life. But they are probably enjoying themselves there.

I'm cursing the weather. It's so damn hot and so damn humid. I've still got to get use to the weather here before I've to get into the army. It'll be much worse.

Don't think that Singapore is all bad because of what you read here. Most people are really content with living here. I'm just a malcontent, as you'll already know. I see smiling faces, people enjoying themselves, content with what Singapore has given them. I'm happy for them, that they like this place. It's just that what's good for them, isn't good for me.
