Lights Out!! Leo's one and only blog

I'm melting!!! I used to think that Singapore is hot... Kolorrrful land is even hotter!!! Just that I don't perspire as much because it's not so humid here as opposed to Sg. Back home, when its hot my body will feel the heat. But over here, even my legs will feel the burning so you can imagine how hot it is huh. Oh and yes, it's summer here all the way till may and I'll be here all the way till july!!! Mati jiak loti already man! Luckily I'll be back every now and then if not I'm sure I'll be cooked. Lionel does not like the heat in kolorrrland. Lionel is burning in kolorrrland. But Lionel Will continue to bite the bullet in kolorrrland. Almost 12 hours work days, 6 days a week are taking a toll on me. I'm down with a sorethroat, phlegm and cough now. Guess it must be a mix of the fatigue and weather. But it's actually ok because there's really so much to learn but so little time. Well, company spent so much money to send me here so I have to work hard also. A chance of a life is almost zilch though since my saturdays are desecrated hahaha and I'm usually too tired on sundays anyway. Only one sunday I went to SM Megamall and ate at Wendy's(shrimp burger is wicked), bought DVDs(back to the future trilogy here is 23 bucks!!! Original somemore!!!) and bought bonuts from Krispy Kreme. Frankly, I don't know what's the buzz about kk donuts(only that they serve free donuts while you're in the queue). It's not that fantastic but grossly overrated, especially by Singaporeans(get a life lah). I prefer pop-doh from Taka any day!

I miss shopping...

That means “out with gloria!” I was on my way out of the factory this afternoon and there was a street demonstration, MY FIRST TIME EXPERIENCING A STREET DEMONSTRATION!!! Led at the front with a motorcade of bikers, followed by a lorry with loudspeakers and then a large group of people at the back. They were shouting “patal si kin si Gloria!” and holding banners! hahaha it was so interesting, even my driver, Jack, joined in shouting the anti Gloria Arroyo chants(and of course, in the car) even though he didn’t mean it. I wanted to do it too but since it’s not my country and because I don’t wanna go to jail, I better not join in the “fun” lest I’m sent behind bars :D I guess if that ever happens in back at home, all the protestors will get a one way ticket to jail for eternity!

Recently, I’ve been down with a flu and a cough. Because of that, I’m unable to enter the production area of else all the stuff there will get contaminated! Sucks when I can’t get to enter that place. Its really very interesting because I get to see how different chocolates products are being made. Not only chocolates but hard candy, eclairs, biscuits and wafer too! TNTC lah! You get to see it being manufactured from raw materials to the final product! Watched Charlie and the chocolate factory? Come to where I am stationed, you ain’t seen nothing yet! This time its Lionel and the chocolate factory! Lagi best! :P

Oh yeah, and I didn't fly on the airbus 777 :( I took the boeing 777, which as usual SUCKS! Lucky I was sitting on the front seat so I can stretch my legs! Pity those poor suckers who're not sitting in the front or not in first class though, especially all the white people(because they're so tall). The only consolation I had was krisworld. I managed to watch 3/4 of american gangster. Will remind myself to complete the show on my way back! In any case, I miss my airbus 777... Though I think I'll still be flying boeing on my way back... Hope im sitting infront again! Wish me luck!!!
