In Singapore, the paranoia for swine flu is enormous. Even a cough or sneeze on the bus will garner about a thousand stares and like, people will inch away from you. (More like mile away from you!)

Like, for example, I was sitting at this little bus stop minding my own business when I needed to perform my trademark sneeze (you all should know by now!) and after cleaning myself up with a tissue, this girl who was supposedly seated beside me had shifted her butt like, 50 inches away from me. (I don't do measurements)

And the rest of them were gazing at me as if I was some latest science specimen!

It gets worse in the hospitals though. They scan your IC and all, hand you a face mask then direct you through some room where they are able to gauge your temperature without even touching you. And if you happen to sneeze, cough or even wipe your nose in there, well, it's good luck to you!

And Ginny! Does it bother you that you belong to neither the uptowners or downtowners? What's the difference between the two anyway? I get what you mean about the whole 'Husky moving furniture' thing though.

Army is crazy. There's all kidns of people you gotta greet and stuff. I absolutely abhor the fact that there's some stupid higher authority that makes it seem like they're God governing over you.

I mean, if they're my boss, it's fine. But the kind of pressure they place on us is ridiculous. For example, if we were to disappear without any reason, (without a valid MC or otherwise) they'd go absolutely insane and begin some island-wide search or something.

I can't wait to escape and study again. Or at least, do something I enjoy.

Paus! Why can't you travel anymore? And are you in Singapore or still trapped in Indonesia? 'Cause you said you'd look for a place in Singapore when you come back but you said you can't travel anymore so I'm mega confused. Haha!

As for Mantou! Can I like visit you and get free chocolates, cakes or something? And yes! How're you with Aisnley, eh?

Okay, I better head to bed. 'Night!
