I've got the rambles and the only prescription is more cowbell.

The eagle has landed guys. I repeat. The eagle has landed. :)
Yesterday was pretty awesome. My flight was delayed and I ended up arriving in Singapore at 2am. Ok, that wasn't so great, but it gets better. Read on playa. I spent the majority of the day sleeping, got up, fed my virtual fish on Fish Tycoon, played Wheel of Fortune on my computer but I kept on landing on "Bankrupt" so I got sick of that and decided to walk around the hood. I ate a bunch of stuff, got an EZ link card, had Fruit Stall Guy ask me if I could be his friend ("Miss. Wo men ke yi zhuo peng you mah? Can?" *cringe*). Oh, and I bought a pitcher plant. Had dinner at my Aunt's and went to bed. I know, I know. Livin' on the edge.
Today, I saw a big ass house lizard next to my fridge. I haven't seen one a while and man did that freak me out. Roaches I can handle, but lizards? Hell no. Anyway, I was getting antsy and needed my internet fix so I trotted down to the bus stop. On my way there, something absolutely random happened. A guy dressed like a Chinese god or something approached me. For real, the dude was straight up in costume with head gear and all. He was carrying a basket full of red packets and he even had a little boom box with the dong-dong-chang music blaring. His entire face and neck was painted blood red and started trying to shove one of his red packets at me while talking half animatedly half agressively. Didn't know what on earthe was saying. Scared the shit out of me man. I shook my head and started saying No, no, no, no. It would have been rude to blatantly walk away so I just stood there while he kept on talking, red packet in hand. All of a sudden, he stopped, turned his boom box off and nonchalently said in English, "Ok you don't want. Nevermind." Then he walked away. What? Did that just happen? I wasn't smoking crack so it couldn't have been a hallucination. But I digress. I got to the library and found out that I needed a cashcard to use the internet. Seeing as I don't own a cashcard, I went across the street looking for an internet place. And that 's where I am right now. I don't like it very much. The place has a funky smell and there are all these teenagers in school uniforms gaming. Shouldn't they be in school? It's noisy, my chair doesn't swirl, and the air-conditioning sucks. That's it. Next time I'm going to the library. But where do I buy this cashcard they speak about? - Aight. I just asked the kid next to me and he said 7 Eleven. He gave me a funny look too like I was retarded. Bastard. Oh wait, so is there a 7 Eleven around here? Lemme ask him again. - Crap, he just left. I apologize for the general lack of paragraphing and for this haphazard verbose entry. It's just that I'm so happy to be on a computer with the internet. I think I'll go eat now and hopefully I'll see a 7 Eleven along the way. By the way, I'll be getting a SIM card for my cellphone tonight. Oh, joy of joys! I'll shut up now. Later guys.
