Ans: Lunch and Dinner

Bonus Question: What can you not have without eating breakfast?

Ans: Doxycycline a.k.a. Malaria pills

Probably wondering why that second question popped up. Erm, cos I took it when I woke up this morning and minutes later, I vomited phlegm. Even now my stomach is still growling. I'm sure it's because I didn't eat anything after taking the pill. Gosh, bad decision.

At thsi stage you're thinking, wait, why are you taking the pill in the first place? You have malaria? OMGOMGOMG! Then I'll calmly say, no lah, I'm going OBBD. That's Outward Bound Brunei Darussalam. I think I failed to mention it on my blog previously. Well, most of my closest friends already knew about it. It's part of my ERS course, going to Brunei and OBBD for a week, for team building, leadership development, etc.. So yesterday I went to Beach Road, got all my stuff, as did the many other 23rd ERS guys I met there and have now packed up 75% of my inventory. I'm considering booking in early, pack up and then watch Thailand Vs Singapore in camp. We'll see what happens.

Oh ya, Abg Syah bought 3 rantai recently. Most would probably know them as the chains that Wushu exponents use. Well for those who do not know, chains are also regarded as a Silat weapons and I have some practice in using them, though my competency is questionable. Prior to Abg Syah's sets, I trained using chains with steel balls shaped like a gasing or top attached at the end. The ball can really hurt you, what with its weight, density and momentum so I usually hold back a bit when training with the rantai bola.

Abg Syah's rantai on the other hand had a bullet-shaped bar at the end with a cloth taped to it. Definitely lighter!! So I took one set and, in my jeans and polo tee, took it for a "swing". I had an adrenaline rush!! It was sooo cool! The thing was so light I was able to do stuff I usually had difficulties with and nothing was hindering me mentally to go crazy with it. I had fun and I hope to have more fun with it in the future. ^_^

Well, gonna end now and start up my Titan Quest. I'll only be back in Singapore on Sunday afternoon so if you need to convey anything, contact me before tomorrow.

Enjoy your week, y'all!
