birthday

its my birthday today... and i'm another year older! yikes!! horrible, horrible, horrible!! its depressing... i have nothing to do for the whole day & not to forget, no company... think i should just go over to my parents' place and spend some time with them.

on another note, i met an elderly australian couple y'day at the train station and they were trying to find their way to the changi prison museum... so i volunteered to take them there. nothing very interesting there... but then again, nothing really very interesting in this country anyway. since its a very small and not interesting place, we didn't spend that much time there. i then took them to the nearest mall for some shopping. being very nice people (yes, australians are generally nice people), they insisted on buying me lunch so we went to a food court in the mall and i ordered some local food and drinks for them. good food is cheap and easily available in singapore if you compare it with australia. an average meal here is half the price of what you would pay there. nevertheless, i still love that country... afterall, i had some really good times when i was studying there.
