etc etc etc...


lots have happened over the weekend but i have no idea what to put down.

got dead drunk and swore never to touch tequila... again.
ate lots of seafood, not as cheap as i thought it would be, but really really fresh!
got in some sun though i could do with more.
was zombie after the long night of drinking.

ah... batam.

i must say that the hangover, though mild, was made worse after the 1 hour boat trip back. I never really had a problem with being on the seas, but yesterday was really bad. the rolling and the pitching got to me, though i did not puke.

i remembered a time when i did sailing. i was always looking forward to choppy seas and strong winds since it was really fun to sail in those conditions, even though it was fairly dangerous. nothing beats sailing just before a storm hits because thats when the winds are strong and the rain is still not here yet.

a friend who used to sail once said,"strong winds build character." pertaining to sailing but metaphorically to lots of things in life, i guess.
