i have this new neighbour, Younes who is of Algerian descent. very friendly guy. well most Caucasians are anyways.
we had a chat at about midnight at our void deck. not the best place to have a chat in my opinion but he was very down to earth and doesn't seem bothered about it.
we had a good chat. we talked about how he was adapting to life in SG, talked about how Islam is interpreted differently here and back in his home country. random topics after that.
after hearing him explain how hard he was trying to adapt and rooming in with prcs didn't help much at all. he also lamented that the locals here are unfriendly and standoffish and that society here are basically robots.

Bali 2012
my siblings and i had a blast in Bali. even though we experienced some major hiccups during the trip we still had a blast. this trip has taught me not to ever help pay for someone's fare or borrow money to anyone anymore but that will be for another pet peeves post.
anyways. upon landing and after checking in our driver took us to Surfers' Bar and Apache cos the night was still young. we had a good time laughing at the drunken antics of the caucasians. some were drunk, some were high and some were drunk and high.
babybro had a short throwdown with a local. his first ever, by himself and in a club no less. i was happy seeing him having so much fun. we had supper as well before heading over to Apache.
the vibe at Apache was totally different. very laid back. my sibs danced to the reggae beats before we head back to our hotel room for some much needed rest after the exciting first night.
over the next few days we just chilled out ttm. wanted to do some water activities but every single morning when we woke up we just didnt fell like exerting ourselves. we ended up tanning by the beach and walked around town for the duration of our time in Bali.
we bought souvenirs for our closest friends. had henna tattoos done, ate local food and we just had fun. period.
oh, we ate at A&W every chance we had. cos there's none in SG and teh nearest is in JB but we dont go to JB that often anymore and if we did its usually during the night time when we follow dad to fill petrol for the car.
we had A&W on the last day as well. so nice. going to miss it.
however the most happening night was the night before we were scheduled to fly off. i swear the memories made during the last night are still fresh in my head. we chilled at Surfers' Bar before heading over to M'Bargo. that was when the party started. my sibs killed the dance floor and the event organiser gave them free drink coupons for starting the party. :)
we arrived at M"Bargo at around midnight and kept on dancing until it was about to close. we entered for free cos babysis's friend was with us and she know the dj and the local b-boys who partied there.
it was so much fun. raging on the dance floor. the high i got felt so good after a very long time.
im definitely planning a return trip. we made friends. in fact on the very last night, our driver picked up 2 SG guys who just landed and we convinced them to join us clubbing later. they were kinda shy but after a few shots THEY were raging on the dance floor as well.
hoping i can visit Bali again, soon. :)
there are videos and hopefully i can upload them on youtube soon. :)

pre-vacation post 2
finally my leave for tomorrow has been approved and at the very last minute at that. i swear the officer in charge of the leave approvals was making me annoyed out of spite. had to wait 2 very long weeks for him to finally approve it. if i had not pestered him the last few day i don't think i will be feeling that excited today.
well,
anyways,
my luggage has been packed, i would say about most of it. the last things to be packed will be my travel makeup kit and my toiletries. after repacking almost 3 times, no thanks to babysis, who kept on throwing clothing items my way for me to bring to Bali, i am happy with what I'm bringing . everything else will be bought there.
all the activities has been planned like i mentioned in the previous post. the only downside is that i cannot get to try bungee jumping due to lack of funds for this trip. . the decision for me to bring babybro was so that he doesn't feel left out again since last year he did not get to follow us to Australia. did i feel guilty after that.
since Bali is way cheaper than Australia's expenses, babysis and me could afford to bring babybro using our own expenses but mother did give him a bit to spend there. so alls good. :)
i am definitely ohsofuckingexcited for the trip.
hoping this is a start for many more sibling vacations to come. :)

pre-vacation post
in 2 days my siblings and i will be leaving for Bali for a week. its the first vacation for 2012 and i am looking forward to it. furthermore its the first vacation with my siblings. just us. no parental supervision!
babysis and babybro have already planned what they wanna do there and just hearing their mischievous plans makes me more excited for the trip.
I'm looking forward to leave all the drama at work for the week as well. god knows how much the drama annoys me most of the time. choosing to ignore them works for me MOST of the time.
I'm only planning to bring 2 or 3 clothing items and just buy the rest in Bali. our hotel is just beside Discovery Mall and a few stones away form the beach. talk about convenience eh. :)
activities have also been planned out, that was babysis's job and we have our own chauffeur for our stay there!
my motto is, " if you wanna travel, do it with style." :)

life's good....for now
my personal life has gotten rather exciting and dangerous.
even though i felt really confused at first, i chose to accept it now. i'd rather have a relationship with no commitments or attachments right now. i'm pretty sure i will not be able to handle another commitment.
getting bombarded with complicated emotions is not my cup of tea for the time being. i am finally enjoying my single life and will do so until fate decides to intervene.
and like Khai said, i'm young and free and i should just have fun while i still can.
keeping it casual is all i need, for now.
i'm miserably happy and i don't give a fuck what others think. :)
