Camera Pictures!

After an unpleasant encouter with a local shopkeep, I decided to order my Canon A510 from www.bargaincity.com.sg They were much kinder and grown-up than the shops I had been to, and no haggling was required. So I took a lot of pictures with the camera as soon as I got it!

This is my room in residence. Not too shabby, eh? The only problem is it is on the ground floor next to the street, so strangers like to look in and see what's up. And no, your eyes aren't fooling you, that's not an unfitted sheet on my bed, that's an elastic-less fitted sheet!

From left to right here is Sheri and Gary. Their names rhyme! They are exchange students who also reside in Sheares Hall. Sheri is from Hawaii and Gary is from Texas! I hope they don't mind me using this picture!!


From left to right is Jonathan (I think?), Nicole and Tyler. Nicole and Tyler are both from UBC. I think Jonathan is from Norway? But I'm not even sure if his name is Jonathan. Sorry Jon!

This is a picture from National Day events we were off to in the community of Jurong East. Along with a parade, and a huge marketplace/bazaar type thing, there were also tanks and other military vehicles on display, and young children were taking turns sitting in the cockpits. It was interesting. Singapore definitely prides itself on national defence, and all men have to serve for 3 years in the army following high school.

Well that was another blogalicious entry! Blog it up!

Hey Colin,
I got great news for ya:) Since you were saying that you couldn't find real cheese and milk, I have asked one of my co-works from Singapore where you can have access to the "real" milk and cheese. This is what he said: "tell him to look for Holland Village, it's near NUS, but not so near that he can walk", "Holland Village is like a place for expatriates and Singapore girls who want to pick up Caucasian boyfriends (mwahahahahhaha)", "There's a supermarket there called "Cold Storage" (like Safeway)", "He might be able to find some "real" cheese, but I doubt that there's a wide variety.", "The milk will taste different, he'll have to get used to that.", and "Cold Storage is like Safeway, what you can get at Safeway, you can get there." HAHaha...sounds like you will have to get used to the taste of Singaporean milk, but at least you might wanna try to find that place (or you've already found it?) so that you can get some Canada-like goodies. :)

Hey Colin,

I really like the new music. Is it something original, either in the writing or in the performance?

Oh thank goodness. I was getting worried about the prolonged absence. I figured maybe a crooked shop keep had sold you to a crooked business man and put you to work in a diamond mine. But apparently not. Here's to the minutia of Colin's life (cheers).
