things that public holidays are good for

When you have half a week of continous public holidays, you could easily get used to it. Some of the highlights include;
-Not having that shrilly clock wake you up to another day of nation building
-Not having to deal with your sweaty self after running through the humidity to catch the train
-Spending endless hours floating in the pool and catching up on a much-not-needed-tan
-Being almost run over by the masses in the mall eager to spend their ang paus
-Hoping onto a bus to cross the border for a good time with Paris and the SG gang
-Watching seasons 5&6 of 'Friends' all in an afternoon and then watching earlier editions at night..ill be there for you ...
-Being part of a global mix of booty shakers (Nacho, Tee, Paris, Sonia,Lars,Krisha et al) on the 70th flr in New Asia bar; its probably the most entertainment and insanity that they have had in that bar since it opened
-Saturday morning pancakes (sweet & savoury) at El palacio with Nacho & Tee
-Sleeping on Devrim's mat....NOT!!!!!
-Discovering that a scoop of icecream can also be a spade or shovel of ice-cream...Go Singapore!
-Conversations on world peace which quickly degenerate into the intricacies of conjugals
-Hearing that China was the source of lots and lotsa ideas...pizza,football...the list goes on.....
-Excellent cocktails and tunes courtesy of Lars! yum! hic!
