Today's Public Toilet URL

If you need to use a public convenience, you at least should be assured of a clean and dry place to sit. Well, this particular guy wasn't, and was very embarrassed when he didn't look before he sat.

Happy Birthday, trawnapanda

And, yet again, you are the same age as me for one week.

I enjoy this immensely.

If in a restaurant where the menu is translated from a foreign language, make sure you ask what it is you're ordering. this woman didn't, and got a surprise.

Last blog post from Singapore, I think

I should start packing shortly for the trip back to London. Every time I am about to leave Singapore, I always feel very sad. I do not feel sad when leaving Marblehead, for some reason or other. But I really like Singapore, and I treasure all my friends here. The thought that I'll be 8 time zones away from them for another year or so (unless some visit London, which of course would fill me with joy) makes me very sad indeed.

I hope that all my Singaporean live journal friends do well in the coming year, and I hope that I can visit again next year and stay a while.

I will blog about the last day in Cambodia and the last full day in Singapore when I get back to London, I think. I'm really tired now and don't have the energy so to do. I will say that I enjoyed coffee with kingbitch before he went off to Johor Bahru, lunch with HWMBO and Choo Beng, then coffee with them and Petrus, my brother-in-law. Dinner was a spicy Mos cheeseburger with fries and a large Diet Coke. I then walked around Junction 8 for the last time this trip and bought a cheesy bank in the shape of a yellow transparent bear. Why did I buy it? I don't know. A hazelnut coffee later, I was back on the bus. We passed a bad accident just before I alighted here--a bus going towards Junction 8 was rear-ended by a car. There was at least one injury as someone was being ladled into an ambulance as we passed. I hope they'll be OK.

I will be incognito starting late tomorrow morning (Monday). Tuesday I'll be at a diocesan meeting at noon and them napping so that I can stay up and watch the US presidential election results. Hopefully my man Obama will make history on Tuesday.

Be good while I'm away. Farewell, Singapore and all my Live Journal friends here. Oh, and thoburn--have fun next Saturday at the BBQ. I wish I could be here to attend and enjoy, especially since November 8 is my birthday. Raise a glass of something to me that day in the hope that I'll be able to return next year.
