Destination H

Flyin off to Hong Kong this mornin for a long-awaited holiday n break...its been quite a while since i've been on an airplane..dat John Denver song alwaez comes unbidden to mind..all my bags are packed and i'm ready to go..

let mi see, e last time i got on an airplane was November last year, comin back from Australia's Rockhampton airport..it was e conclusion of my overseas 'mechanised manoeuvres' with the army...wherein i received a fungal infection of the foot, several blood-sucking tick bites dat could hav caused paralysis for life had they not been removed early on..as well as sets of dust-blown, sand-filled 'combat fatigues'..

well, its been over a year since dat episode n goin on a civilian, commercial flight is a refreshin change from ground-life..my destination will be Hong Kong which could not be a more 'civilian' destination n further from the memories, sights n sounds of military life..its time to get a lil' shoppin done..can hardli believe i've not bought any new up-market clothes since prom nite 03..n time to do a little relative visitin...

probably e best thing to look forward to in HK would be the rows of Tai-pai-Tong or roadside food stalls which i hav not visited since last i went in '99...amazin food n comin to e second 'major attraction' ..amazingly clad women..mind u, while i personally feel dat Singapore has more beautiful women compared to Hong Kong, i must say dat HK women dress much better than their SIngaporean counterparts...n they're more friendly n approachable...but no, i'm not lookin for n will not hav a 'bohemian' experience..ie fall in love in a foreign country..dat onli happens in movies n with celebrities..

i'll be back by Sat e 10th at 7pm...yes, Matt Ng, i promised liquer...n yes Yuankai, i'll get u ur b'dae present over there..apologies for not bein able to attend ur b'dae on e 7th...so till e 10th, God bless my frens n all e best! wish mi Godspeed as i'll wish u laddies n lasses Au-voir...
