Back on the road

Whatup all.. I'm back on the travelling path, and this blog will get some heavy duty updating over the next few months.

But first, i have to say. I'm quite excited to report i'm in the geekiest situation imaginable. I'm using my mobile phone with a bluetooth keyboard at starbucks, sipping coffee, connected to the free wifi, and blogging... I don't really think theres anything geekier one could do (and if you say use a mac i'll shoot you, seriously).

Geekiness aside, i've decided that i've officially finished final year medicine. Job applications are done, interviews, check, all important hospital rotations at the Alf, done, all i've got left is a holiday rotation, elective (another holiday really) and Bendigo ICU stuff... which will be a nice refresher on how not to kill people before travelling some more then getting back into some serious hardcore work that you stupid interns have been bitching about all year :P

I'm currently in singapore airport (who incidentally don't open shop till 5am the lazy bastards) on my way to lanka. then will be back in aus for a bit, go to uluru, then head to japan, and most likely europe from there :) so much for 'I'm not interested in travelling, thats for losers'... oh wellz

The 2 days i've spent in singapore have been quite fun, thanks for taking me around kev, appreciate it. singapore was the perfect my style holiday... got up around 11 each day, sat around having lunch for ages, then just wondering around various parts of singapore with a lot of sitting down at moderately photogenic places, but more importantly with cool breezes :P very relaxing, just whats needed after a hardcore 6 months. The food here is freakin awesome... like seriously awesome. Much variety, asian to curry to western, everything, and all done quite well. The fish head curry in particular was num nums :) The one thing that will stick with me about singapore is the freakin housing developments... so many of the friggen things, and they all look clean and... nice.. weird huh? public housing thats spick and span... and in some areas you literally see horizon to horizon of high rise flats... its kinda weird lol. But the most important thing in singapore is clearly the brewery Brewerkz. DAM that was good beer... first time I didn't have to drink the stuff put on a smile and say 'tasty'.. it really was dam tasty this time lol... VB can get f'd that stuff owned. Went through quite a bit of it too ^^ considering the most cost effective was to buy half a liter each... and uh... well you wanna try a few beers at least ;) and sample the whiskey of course :D

Now the most important part of this blog continuing from the Japan postings is the GLA standards here. (read back a few posts if you haven't been acquainted with this acronym... stands for Good Looking Alert ... various variations of it, but essentially hot chicks ahoy). I can quite dissapointedly say that singapore is a definate GLA FAIL... EPIC FAIL.. like seriously... prawn, paperbag, *insert own acronym here*

Anyways, flight is being called, so I'd better head off... that said, it is a flight to lanka so half the bloody plane is going to turn up late, gotta love curry time :)
