hey hey i'm back again for some blogging...

just came back from night market.. Haha.. the night market here is pretty special. It's very much like a night bazaar with string of food stalls and streets of stalls selling handicraft etc. There are like hundreds of stalls and there's stuff to look around and makan. It's very much like our local 'pasaar malam' except that it's beside the beach. And it opens on Thursdays and Sundays. It's very much like the highlights of Darwin in the week.

A pretty good eye-opener really. Haha.. Didn't buy anything stuff there coz it's ex (haiz).

Anyway a continuation of the food from previous entry.. You can practically find all sorts of food here, from fast food to local food like pizzas to very asian food like curry to even very Singaporean 'ice kachang'!! Yummy..
The Mac's here doesn't have Fillet O'Fish or McChicken here as main meals but burgers like quarter pounder, double quarter pounder, triple cheese burgers after double cheese burgers. As mentioned, it's all beef associated and not much of others. One thing, the fast food here cost lesser than the other food here, and it's hard to find them around too.

I used to have the impression that the shops closes early because people here are very homely and all. Well, some are, and you would find other people hanging out in casinos, pubs, internet cafes or doing sports at night. And they don't work at home too. So work is strictly work, relaxation is total relaxation with no work involved.
The pace here is extremely slow as compared to Singapore and couldn't really get used to it initially. A good place for retirement in the future though.

Had been the casino here. Quite of boring here coz' by far I had only watched people playing the games, seeing how easy money was gained or lost on the tables. So far the worse I'd seen for one of my colleagues was 3K lost in 3 nights. Wonder what will the outcome be for him tonight. 3K is like a wow-figure to me. Sucky but oh wells..

Missing the people in Singapore and I just have this bad habit of looking at my watch, thinking what would I be doing if I were in Singapore at that point of time, like gg for UM duty etc etc etc... Miss the days..
Well back in Singapore will be things like Asia Conference and more to come like looking for a job, studies and really deciding for my future especially after this trip and ORD... More to come..

Well be uploading some pics that was taken during the trip now. tata!!
