Sentosa

I woke up to a breakfast of half hard boiled eggs (basically hard boiled eggs not boiled long enough), toast, OJ, and Cereal.

EC has been having back problems. The Chinese culture uses acupuncture as a form of healing. This stimulates certain nerves and muscles in order to relieve pain. He went to see his acupuncturist dismorning after breakfast.

Following breakfast we hung around the house an finished up my laundry. EC does all the house chores around the house. He washed, dried, ironed, and folded all my clothes. The family is very nice and allows me to make myself at home. EC has also been helping me learn the bus and metro system throughout the city. Asian Hospitality is so amazing, and i feel so spoiled at times. From talking to the other Aggies we all have very nice families.

We went out to find Royal Halal where I will be interning for the next few weeks. It is only one bus ride and a free shuttle away. It wont take too long to get to and from work each day. I basically live and work in the same general area of Singapore.

EC took me to Simbabwa Country Club located near the Airbase that he served at. The base offers free membership to all past and present members of the military. The club has a workout facility, pool, 18 hole course, a jackpot/casino room, and a cafe. We enjoyed a tiger beer at the club while picking up Joon. We then went to get lunch which consisted of Duck Rice and Roasted Duck. This was my first meal that consisted solely of duck. It was also served with duck gizzards, bean curd, and duck eggs.

In the afternoon I made my way into downtown Singapore to meet up with the rest of the Aggies at Suntec City. We went on a moonlight tour of Singapore's man made island, Sentosa. This is the most southern point of the Malayan Pennisula. The island is absolutely beautiful containing river boats, romantic cafes, and a theme park. We went to a water light show that was gorgeous. The graphics where absolutely amazing. I wish I had better pictures but i do have a few videos to share with you when I return.

Tomorrow I start my first day at Royal Halal, Im sure it will be interesting! Wish me luck
