mosquitoes, orgasms, fatgirlslim.

I've already had my prerequisite rite of initiation upon entering Singapore, and I'm now the proud owner of not one, not two, not three, but SIX mosquito bites located at all different parts of my body. Do you know what a nightmare that is? They're all itchy at the same time, and I only have two hands. And that's only when I'm not putting things into my mouth.

The heat and humidity - unbearable. It's simply ridiculous. It makes me long for London so bad! (Missing you loads, Jo/Lalang/Jing/Jess/Abby!) The local food is too good to be true though, and I can literally feel spasms of ecstasy coursing through my body as I feel the dollops of oil and fatty lard slick down my throat - simply an orgasmic experience. I've already savoured and devoured hokkien mee, beef hor fun, chicken rice, chye tao kueh, satay, fishball noodles, egg tarts, fishhead beehoon, wan tan noodles and curry chicken! Prata for breakfast tomorrow! Not to mention the local snacks like Calbee Potato Chips, and those oval biscuits with the coloured ice sugar topping... Tiens, I can literally feel my face expanding while typing all these down! Hooooo!

The downside of it all is having the Mother tell me very truthfully that I'm fat (she peeked at my round tummy - I like to think of it as a separate entity, that it's actually part of my clothes), and she's willing to sponsor sessions at a slimming salon for me. I don't know whether to be offended or thankful for hearing the truth! All the same, I appreciate her kind intentions, misplaced or otherwise. I should think I have a very good reason for getting fat - it's winter after all! Well, not in Singapore but I'll be returning to London soon. I think so anyway. The Mother didn't purchase an airticket home for me, and apparently all flights to London are booked till the 14th? Essays are due on the 16th!!! Hopefully, everything will be sort itself out somehow.

Anyway, I want to make the most of my time in SG by meeting everyone whom I'm not going to see till October 2006, and gorge myself to death on local food. So peeps, call me! Silly me stored my contact list in my other phone which I've lost a month ago. The number is 98211516.

Now to contemplate if I should take up The Mother's offer. The idea of losing weight without any physical exertion or prohibition of junk food intake sounds too good to be true! Then again, it probably is, huh? Decisions, decisions!

I will like to spend my days, as though they are my own, which I mostly end up doing in halves, for duty beckons, and I am answering its clarion call. Soon enough! I am also a veteran procrastinator.
