dinner lady arms

i've been in singapore for about two weeks now. good to be back here. there's something about this place that comforts me. maybe it's close enough to home. maybe it's the air (?!). i'm sick right now. diarrhea. sorry to have mentioned that. but i really haven't been sick due to this in a looong time. it's been day-two and i've been feeling a lot better today though. now, if only i can be a bit more careful with what i eat.. that is hard to do. the new job is also going well. a lot of people at the plant here still see me working in the previous capacity. but they've been coming around in acknowledging my new role and that has been very positive. i guess it helps alot to have an advantage of being a 'local' among peers here, and not just a representative, a warm body, from the states who don't quite understand the attitude, the work ethics, and the temperament of the locals. now having said that, i kinda miss working back in the states because i think i've been putting too many hours at work here. kinda lazy like that. i'll be going home this weekend for a cousin's wedding. she'll be the fourth among us cousins who's getting married. that leaves me, my sister, and my two brothers, the eldest among the cousins, who are not even close to getting hitched. this should make for a good family reunion then! to tell the truth, i don't think anyone of us gives a rat's ass about it. it seems that everybody else is overly concerned for us. funny. okeh-kokeh. hope you're always be in good health. take care ya!
