Another couple of hours I'll be on my way to Malacca. It will be quite an experience being alone, with the route relatively unknown to me. The good thing is that I have done my research, so things aren't that bad. The only worrying thing is their security there. There has been a rise in snatch thefts and unfortunately a couple of them in the last six mths have resulted in unnecessary deaths due to brutality of the the robbers. I hope I'll be updating my blog tomorrow intact! Haha.

Saturday was a pretty good day as I joined my secondary school class for a soccer match against another team which I do not know about them but nonetheless, we played very well and managed to secure a 3-1 win. I was very lucky to have scored a goal due to their defence lapse. My peers have all improved since army, mostly in their determination and stamina. I thought I have improved much, but probably my stamina and speed aren't enough on the field. It was a very tiring game. I only played around 30mins before I retired to the bench with a nearly burnt sole and my toenails poking into my toe flesh. Argh. It was indeed nice to be back with all my friends, for the last time I probably saw them was in JC1? Haha. There'll be another match upcoming on Sunday, but I'm not very sure if I can make it...

On Friday I went Arab St in search of their non-alcoholic perfumes/colognes. Times has changed so much. In my memory, in one of the historical visits to the Kampong Glam area, a little bottle of perfume cost $2 and came in a simple looking little glass bottle. To me its simplicity looked great. Unfortunately nowadays it cost $5, as they come in a better looking gold coloured capped bottle.. The $15 tubes looked very nice but I had to get more than a few to give my camp mates... well, i guess i have to go Malacca and find some souveniors instead then. Oh ya, before I went Kampong Glam, I went for a pre-enrolment medical checkup at Raffles Hospital. Everything was ok except my height had fallen another 2cm! Hahaha. Likewise my weight fell another 3kg from 2 mths ago. If I keep getting shorter, I have to lose more weight to satisfy the BMI requirement! Haha. What to do. Anyway I walked a bloody long distance from Kampong Glam (near Bugis/Beach Rd) to Balestier (you try walking and see how far it is?) until I decided I had to go find some rest. One interesting site I walked past was the flea market at Jalan Besar. Nothing interested me though, everything looked liked they were picked from the dumps so...eek. Then I took a bus to Toa Payoh and ate japanese food. It was a waste of money! Should have not ate at the Art Bistro cafe... sigh.

Ok, hope to be back tomorrow and pray all of you have a good start to the week. 2 more days to getting my pink IC! Hee!
