singapore aint as hot as i thought it would be. the reason obviously must be the north-east monsoon. the north-east monsoon is lashing out parts of south india, the bay of bengal, bangladesh and even burma !

zita had sent me offline messages on friday and saturday last week. i didn't know since i was on my way to singapore through bahrain. don't ever fly gulf !! it is official, it is the crappiest airline in the world. 2 hours delay at heathrow. the control tower refused the captain a time slot to take off because he broke the "30 minutes maximum to lift off" curfew that is imposed on all airlines [except british airways of course as they have their own terminal]. so, we had to wait for 1 and a half hours before we could get clearance. he flew the aeroplane like a saudi arabian drives a mercedes. i have never seen a 747 average more than 1000 kph. although 2 hours late at take off, the aeroplane landed just 45 minutes after scheduled landing time.

our flight had lots of connecting passengers to sydney and singapore and our pilot had radio-ed bahrain to stop the connecting flight to singapore from taking off. bahrain's airport is as clean as singapore. at first glance, it looks like a las vegas casino with "gates" placed here and there, randomly, to confuse the gamblers. another 1000kph flight by cpt.screamzalot landed us at singapore just 6 minutes after scheduled landing time. fantastic !!

zita was surprised to see me as she has no idea i was here to meet her and all my other mates. met with sunil, balaji, balu, krishnan .. and a few more to go. i have been clicking pictures and will post them up upon my return.

spiderman 2 is so so lah. i have been going to the temples every day. feel nice and happy. hope monica is doing well in the UK.
