Bon voyage...


Well, it makes a person turn green with envy when several of your friends are going overseas to work. Edwin Yeo who would be ajourning to Munich to work for the next 16 months. Think of all the bockwurst and beer he'd be having!!! Just came back tonight from a gathering with him, Mingquan and Mok, the secondary school friends that I still keep in touch constantly. I have known these guys for close to 14 years which freaks me out. Must admit I'm gettin' older.

Was great to see them after a while. I really found out that auditors really hate being auditors. At least, most of them do. Both Mingquan and Mok had left their jobs at PriceWaterhouseCooper during the last month to pursue their interests. So far, I haven't really hear any good comments of being an auditor, being the brother of one myself. Oh yeah, by the way, dun bother to try the BBQ stingray stall at the end of Smith Street. It sucks. The stingray had too little belacan chili on it. Edwin complained that it was too sweet which was rather valid. What the fuck happened to the intended spiciness of the dish?

In addition, we all chipped in to have a go at next week's Toto and 4-D. Hey maaaan, the top prize is friggin' $10 million!!! Even if it's split among 4, I'd still have $2.5 million to myself (I'm trying to be optimistic that we dun have to share the prize money with others; just let only the 4 of us win the moolah!!! Pluuuuzeaaahhh!!!) I'm already thinking of an early retirement to Koh Phanghan. Before that, I'd pay off all my debts and clear my parents' housing loan. Then, I'd get a few hectares of land in Koh Phanghan, Thailand. Some of it would be turned into resorts for backpackers and the rest would be used to grow herbs that are good for you and your subconsciousness. I can see it right now....

Will be meeting the Sarong Party Guy, Clement later before he leaves for Austria on Friday. I guess he's finally well on the way to the Great Hunt for white meat. All the best to him for his trepid trek through the thick foliage of the Austrian urban jungle. Being the animal that he is, he'd no problems with the bushes.... okay, enough with the sexual puns... it's boring even me...

Now onto 'Will and Grace'.
