i've got soul but i'm not a soldier

when it's all said and done
is there time for one more song
all the things that i've done, the killers

shaun insisted we have to drive through the 6pm weekday orchard road jam to witness "the once-in-a-year christmas sprirt that is free". he dragged me, with his very reluctant fiat punto to watch cars travel slower than a snail on gravel.

instead of going through novena and cutting at tangs down through town, he HAD to drive to holland then through tanglin because "there's where real orchard starts. see? orchard hotel..." about 15 mins later "and there's orchard towers".

as we drove down the streets, i realised the light up is quite magical. lights glistening in the pale sky, the sound of people rushing and cars honking. the funny twinkly merry go round things.

and didn't take any photos because i was sulking in the car (ok, fine. my bad.) and he was wowing at everything. but he did make up for that 40mins of crawling with scrumptious dinner.


talks of vietnam.
this means out of the country.
we haven't settled national problems yet.
and we're taking it internationally.


haiyo, yet again karen is in shit.
