The tail end in the shell of a nut

LMAO! Too funny! I woulda whooped them all at this...challenge.....of eating my favorite fruit in the world...bahaha. AND the locals too! Good stuff. Yeh, I am going through withdrawals. I begin my days here in San Diego with mild convulsions which intensify throughout the day and occasionally cause me to twitch violently when something I see hear or smell triggers my senses and reminds me of my durian.  Other than that, life is grand though. Thanks so much for the wonderful reference you left. You guys are amazing and will always have a warm soft cozy special place in my heart. I had a blast with you guys and wish I could've stayed forever! :) Singapore is def a place rampant with shopping and eating and spending money, as was mentioned to me by previous visitors to the place; however, being on a budget as I was, I successfully managed to have a good time and see lots of things and hardly spend a dime! (That must be a strictly American phrase, for I fear most people from other countries wouldn't understand. Are there dimes in Canada?...I will know soon but not until then...) The Ku de Ta Bar on the top of the Marina Bay Sands (Google image that..MBS...omg incredible view at night!) I did spend money there ..on a beer at that...no wait.. 2 beers! and it was hella expensive but very worth it. Walked around city hall MRT station as a good majority of the downtown sites can be seen from the Esplanade there. good stuff as well.  Little india was cool. good food. mustafa plaza...was nuts. 3 buildings of stories and stories of...well, EVERYTHING you can think of. food, books, clothes, pencil sharpeners, appliances..fresh fish...etc. quite a sight. orchard road was lined with mall after mall after mall...begging for what little cash I had on me, and the shops were all thoughtfully adorned, but even that wasn't enough to sucker me into their consumerism trap! muahaha. i may or may not have purchased a carrot, apple, orange juice, though. :) oh btw, my moles officially fell off yesterday after I had them removed with Chinese herbs!! :O the wart on my knee is still working its way off but according to the chinese lady it still technically has 3 more days til the process is officially complete. I had ginger the other day though (supposedly the herbs clash with ginger?) in a drink and i am still here...and still moleless...more updates after 3 days ...possibly with pictures. haha im thinkin she knows her stuff though. their looking pretty good. im not getting funny looks anymore. whew!
