back from sri lanka.. well, it was an alright trip.. had to fall sick on the second day.. darn it.. here's what happened..
Wed: went to mannie's house, waited for jamers and farrell, then headed off to T1.. on the way, i realised i forgot the most important thing.. my hp.. i left it at mannie's house.. good thing ash was still home, so he helped me pick it up from mannie's house.. had lunch at the airport, then headed off to check in.. all the virgins (those who were going on tour for the first time) had to carry pacifiers and rattlers the whole time, whoever not carrying it will be fined.. and also, everyone had to carry "hats"(un-opened condoms).. whoever wears the "hat" last will be fined.. haha.. well, it was fun.. bought stuff from DFS then headed off to sri lanka.. the plane ride was around 4-5 hours, reached sri lanka at around 7pm (sri lankan time, 2 hours later than singapore, means singapore time is 9pm).. washed up at the hotel and headed to the swimming club for dinner and drinks.. after that, some of us headed back to the hotel to slack, then headed to the casinos.. first we headed to bally's, but it kinda sucked, so we headed to bellagio.. well, i lost $3000 that night.. equivalent to $50 sing.. went back to the hotel and slept..
thu: woke up early in the morning as we all were forced to, had a morning jog.. to warm ourselves up before the game.. after the jog, we headed to have breakfast.. then some of us went to swim.. haha, took some funny pics at the pool.. then we all headed to the game.. it was vs the sri lankan u-19.. well, they had 40 players, and we only had 17.. it was a well played match by both teams, but they won by 2 tries.. we were all tired out.. for them, they used 2 different teams.. so it was kinda unfair, but we showed them what we singaporeans were made of.. headed back to the hotel to bathe and headed to clancy's.. had dinner and drinks there.. i was very very high that night cos i left my rattler in the pouch and was the last to take it out.. so i had to down black label whiskey with a little coke in a milk bottle.. 1/4 of the bottle filled with whiskey and, you can say, 1/4 of the 1/4 of whiskey was coke.. and u know how the kick will come if u slowly drink.. i was almost gone man.. headed back home, then slept..
fri: woke up in the morning, was supposed to go white water rafting, but fell sick.. had viral infection.. very high fever, bad cough with phlegm, flu, sore throat.. bad.. stayed at the hotel the whole day..
sat: stayed at the hotel.. bought medicine from the pharmacy but didn't work, called a doctor and treated me.. missed the next game which we won against white adults.. slept till the next day..
sun: woke up feeling much better.. had breakfast, then went shopping at odel.. not a bad place.. very cheap stuff.. then we had our own free time.. started to fall sick again, so headed back to the room and popped my pills.. wanted to join the guys out but brother ben told me to stay and rest.. there was my last night at sri lanka, at the hotel sleeping.. well done..
well, there goes my trip.. kinda screwed up.. oh well, gonna get ready to meet XY and squid to buy stuff for XY's BBQ later.. ciao..
