Confessions Of Someone Under The Influence
Ok... if this post seems inappropriate or has too many spelling errors, please not that it is written when I was highly intoxicated with alcohol. Though it seems from the first sentence I am to be able to correct myself as I go, I shall not be responsible for anything else that follows.
Honestly, being intoxicated isn't a very fun feeling for someone who values control in her life. Although, control obviously is lacking at the moment, but somehow I managed. My eyes can't seem to focus on any one particular thing, but I'm sorta typing blind at the moment, correcting as I go.
Being back home and in the comfort of my bed seems to be pleasant and good. OH MY GOD! I can't seem to make a simple sentence sound good to my head. But at least they sort of make sense. I know someone is definitely laughing now... and no I'm not going to edit this when I'm totally sober.
I think this should be a lesson for me if it actually turns out horrible... or a nice insight to how I am when my brain only registers half of what I'm thinking.
I thank Syndyk for being such a great sport... and I hate Eddie, but I love him all the same, for making me reach this point of oblivion.
And for those who help me get up.. thanks... but I really needed u all to just let go of my arms... I just tripped, and everyone made it a big deal. Oh well... and yes... I really just tripped. It happens to the best of us. Even those that have never touched a drop of alcohol. Gawd.... I'm not that delicate and I can take a fall... and I think the ice thrown by Diana to my forehead hurts more than anything right now. Gee... Thanks Diana... if I get a bump on my head later ... I know who to blame.

Travel Buddies
6After travelling with a few of my friends, I was wondering who could really travel the way I like. Then it hit me to take a look at the Travel Buddies quiz I did on Facebook, and from there I made a comparison.
The Travel Buddies Compatibility lists 'Best buddies', 'Good match', 'You'll survice' (I think it's mean to be survive), 'Compromise is key', 'Take your chances', and 'Better not do it' as it's categories. The majority of friends who did take the quiz ended up in either the 'you'll survive' or 'compromise is key'. There's yet to be one friend, who doesn't want to sign up for facebook because he's happy with his current networking website, that I would like to have taken this quiz to see exactly how like-minded we are. There is also one friend that's a good match, and one that I've to take my chances on.
Seeing that I have travelled with people from both majority groups, it makes me wonder what it will be like travelling with my good match. From my experience with people that I'll survive with, it does really feel like the song: "First I was afraid... I was petrified.... I will survive... I will survive! HEY HEY!" (yeah skip the nitty gritty cos it doesn't apply anyway) I guess knowing them well enough does give you an advantage, especially if you know what role you have to take on when it comes to travelling with them. For example, there are 2 that I have travelled with in this group, both whom I've gone on multiple trips with. Sometimes I ask myself, "Why do I keep travelling with them?", especially at times when they make me roll my eyes with their insecurities. But it's insecurities that can easily be soothed and after all the assurance you have to give, the whole trip actually turns out really fun. These 2 people sure know how to enjoy their time in a different country. In my opinion, that is the whole point of travelling for leisure.
Then there's a few of them in the 'compromise is key' category that have almost ruined some trips for me. As the category suggests, compromise plays a big part. And if you're the type that can't give in or bend to suit these people's needs, then it's better not to travel with them. But no matter how flexible you are, there are people who will bring you right to the edge, and people in this group have proven that they can do this to me. So if this group can bring me to the point where I almost kill them, I think it's best not to travel with anyone I've to take my chances with.

Giant Ferris Wheel
Mom was given a pair of free tickets to take a ride on the Singapore Flyer, and just before the tickets expired, we decided to make use of this freebie.
Looking at the sky while walking towards the Flyer, I asked if mom wanted to have a snack before we headed up, as well as waste some time so that we could possibly get on the ride as the sun was setting. After getting the proper tickets, and letting mom have her first taste of Popeye's, we were off for our slow ride on the giant ferris wheel.
As you will see from the next few pictures, you get to see quite a bit beyond Singapore's shores, as well as get a great view of the skyline that's currently changing. The ride itself was slow and smooth, which was good for taking photos, but after a while, the ride got a bit boring.

Helloooo Up There!
As You Can See Mom Was Getting Bored
Future Skyline
I'd say it's a nice ride to go one once in a lifetime, best when there is some big event happening, and do take a ride if you get the tickets free or on discount.
