baby, what's in that satchel?

yesterday i was so peeved about the whole mobile phone thing that i clean forgot to tell you all about this! bboj very kindly agreed to take me to the star wars exhibition at the science centre yesterday, and it was lots of fun (read: he was strong-armed and bugged continuously for a week after mark told me about it)! for those of you not in the loop, the singapore science centre is home (temporarily) to the props, costumes and artwork used in all 6 star wars movies! and it's a reeeally really good exhibition. there's even a jedi gym where i proved that the force is indeed strong in me and totally kicked bboj's patootie at jedi mind games. bwahahahaha. if you're in singapore, i'd strongly suggest you go. especially if, like us, you haven't been to the science centre since you were in pigtails and/or tiny shorts (unless you went to a chinese school in which case that really wasn't too long ago was it). it's really different now! all speccy and generally not shit.

no pictures or videos or food/beverages were allowed in the exhibition space, but i did manage to sneak this one photo .. well actually bboj took it. but look! i am MUCH taller than a jawa. which is fantastic.



usually when you are practically 5 ft nothing, you're not really taller than anything except smurfs and very small children.

oh. and shopping with noelle today was great fun! it was our first proper girlies day out and it was fantastic! this was marred only by the fact that when we were taking a well-deserved break at the end of the day when she says "ooh! look at that!" and when i turned around, the most awful sight presented itself to me. this woman was squatting on the other side of the window, with her love handles spilling over her jeans, all squished up against the glass pane. it was ... truly awful to say the least. bitch. if you ever do that to me again, i will keeel you !!

also, today on the train they were making their usual announcement about how if you see any suspicious articles left unattended please do report it because it could be a bomb. and then this guy stood up from his seat, and lo and behold ... A BOMB!!



literally. i know this picture's really fuzzy but it's really hard to take a good clear focussed photo of some grotty child's diaper left on the train seat for all and sundry to look at and appreciate without a) laughing and b) getting funny looks. and who says singaporeans are inconsiderate bastards! look at how people are leaving wonderful little gifts for complete strangers.

i'm actually considering submitting this photo to the unique2me competition, where we send in photos what we feel singapore means to us.
