hellooooo howdy yowza you know what i believe i am startig to live the high life! or at least, more life than i was doing so... er in the previous time frame. TOODAYYY i went to the TIGER BEER brewery with chern and her sis and her sis's bf and her sis' bf's bro and all their friends, which was really interesting, but not in the grandmother story kinda way. there's something inherently fascinating about factories-- its one of those modern fetishes i guess that may or may not fade with time, i guess depending on the rate fo acceptance of robots and their social roles. on the other hand though the sheer scale of automations and the awesome steel constructions, while not architectural wonders, never fails to strike a note of. i don't know what exactly, but it floors me. kinda, anyway

whilst the tour was interesting it wasnt as substantial as the post tour drinking session-- basically you get an hour? two hours? of free flow whatever locally brewed poison you like,[which includes coke] along with token tasteless munchies. we ended up playing table soccer which was surreal-- like some drunken man's fantasy-- because the "people" weren't people but rather corona bottles and lime slices. so after a while it becomes a bit weirdly beery-- like you start seeing the bottles and lime as people, or people as bottles and limes... whichever. either way it was highly amusing, chern and i were screaming a lot and being wholly inept in the psychomotor department. we didnt drink much, though, so i can assure you that this is a true muse and not the product of inebriated raving.



on another note i believe i am becoming addicted to swimming, and it is all albert's fault. basically the suisen people who live in the east are determined to make regular swimming a good healthy habit till we leave- which translates into joining albert at the pool whenever we can. and believe me evening swimming is great. you're probably incredulous at that statement coming from me-- so OKAY FINE GO ON LIVING YOUR DEPRIVED LITTLE LIVES hahaha.


okay yes maybe i did drink a beeeeet too much there...
