Nothing to write

i got the blogger app installed on my iPhone - thought that would at least tempt me into writing more. It might fizzle out just like all things i plan but at least i am trying,ni?

Singapore is growing on me - i like the fact that it is safe over here, that you never feel insecure even if you are out late. Of course, it has its warts but which place does not. i hate it that cars are so expensive that we cannot think about buying one, not till i save up for a couple of years. But then, you see almost everyone has a car - which makes me think if everyone else is super rich. That or they take car loans. I could take a car loan - but then I would rather not. Plus the public transport is really good and the taxis are cheap. So maybe we don't need a car but I like the flexibility of having your own transport

.

Which brings me to my never-accomplished goal of learning to drive. I did take lessons once and was ready for a driver's license test but I don't remember why I never went for it. You can get a license from Imphal without taking a test - yes, it is sickening. And my parents used to ask me if I wanted the. To get me one - I must have blasted them off like I always do about how wrong that is - so I have no license to my name. Big deal.

Did I say we have been to Malaysia in a taxi??? I kid not. You can take a taxi to go to Malaysia - it is that close. We have been to legoland in Johor Bahru 4 times - we got annual tickets and like all self-respecting middle class folk, we had to get our money's worth out of the annual tickets. Plus the elf loves Legos and I love the 4d show. 

We have been to Thailand too and snorkeled for the first time in my life. We stayed in a two bedroom house complete with kitchen and a huge balcony from where you could see the beach. I am bragging! He managed to get the car we had rented knocked up a bit and that cost us a small fortune. But I must be getting wiser because I consoled him (instead of bitching) saying it is only money - it will come, it will go. Or vice versa. I am sooooo bloody nice and wise!

I love planning the trip - I am a good googler.. I have lost count of the number of places I have visited virtually. I can tell you how to go to the so many islands - which one is budget friendly which one is expensive. He keeps teasing me about the fact I would be constantly looking at all possible destinations at least two weeks prior to making up my mind. But it is fun. 

That is all the crap I can think up of today.
