Comments:

When yu have more free time on your hand and no money. Yu will naturally try to find a outlet to vent all the fustration from life's most severe rejections. I am not talking about alcohol; although I do admit to having a brush in my early years. But all that I keep in check quite well and never let it spill over.... burrp...oh for god sake, let me off tonite, I feel so dejected after 2 or 3 phone calls all landed in no interview. To make things more fustrating, 1 of the part time job I write in last week re-print again in the papers, f**k, my application smells like shit or what? :(

Anyway booze still cause money, I dun really have that in abundance, I just happen to bum into an old collegue from way back, and he too face some shit in the last couple of years, but now he's yupping again as a cleaner supervisor. He offer to pay for a can for me from 7-11, and we toast to heaven/earth and the gods of Labour, and afterwards things just sort of drift on to another ale. (I can't let him pay for the 2nd one lah, he also not that rich). Sometimes it is lost soul like him that make life a bit more easier to bear, they shared a lot of the pain too and they know. Talk is useless, he can't help, but maybe he can assist me in some memory isolation.

My topic tonite is more about a different form of escape (although getting drunk may help in attaining that realm of ecstacy). I love to fall asleep in cool air con places and do a power nap. You know those that last only half an hour to 45 mins. Yu dun let it drift into REM mode when yu start dreaming, but just before. Yu will feel really re-charge and revitalise but if yu dive too deep and let Mr Sandman sprinkle some dream dust on you, good luck. My case will be a minimum 2 hours sleep and I'll wake up feeling more zombie. I want to wake up feeling like a vampire (able to fly) , not the prior.....

This form of escape all started in my early years, my boss R (from my drawing part time job), brought me to a health centre and it all change my life. I went in a boy but came out a man.....

Now before I go further and turn this into a confession forum for all you priests out there, I have to admit I am no angel. A health centre are common knowledge in South East Asia where the thrill is not really about maintaining your shape; it is the massage that is exhilarating....by girls that look like Jolin Tsai.... or in the pics and lets just say they have poor massage skills....:) .
Just a obersvation at this point, I think 85% of S'pore male population visit HC at 1 time of their life and the other 10% are gay (they do worse things like organised drug laden orgies). The last 5% are most propably handicap in 1 way or another, be it physically or mentally. (No offence to them but I don't think they will take pride in a visit to the HC anyway,so.....)

Anyway a lot of people probably outgrow the flower stingma after a couple of visit. But I persisted on....yap...., I actually develop a liking for the spa aspect of the health centre. There is a lot more spa that pop up recently but way back in the 90's, it is the kindom of the HC, which later is overtaken by TuiNa shop and now by spa. If SPA is white colour and TuiNa shop is black colour, then HC will be the in between like grey colour. I leave it to you'll to go figure it out.

Back to my topic, my fav is to go into the jacuzee hot twirling pool and I love to feel the soft sensation of water beating up the pores of my skin, afterwhich I will usually take a 15-30mins doze in the pool and feel ripe for anything. I know many of you will fail to understand me why still spend unneccssary money when you're not gonna get a massage. Well, it is just 1 of the lifestyle I craved, I love to do hot pool/cold pool, follow by a good makan and finally checking out the DVD collection and finally sleeping in the chair of the auditorium. I dun get tired by it and I can spent a whole day there, this much I do confess. While still in job with the US firm, I used to visit a hot pool spa/HC like maybe 3 time min a month. It is especially prominent when I have a lot of work related stress, or my soccer punting is not blosseming as I desired. One of my vice...I guess....but then BOOM, out of job.

But now that I am offically broke, I have to sake out new ways of escape. I started sleeping around... and I mean really sleep in public places (sometimes air con but sometimes airy open spaces). And I really do get a kick out of this power nap...yeah. I mean of course it will be better in a hot pool but the sleep is the essence of the recovery process. I actually perfer air con rather than outside as my place of hibernation.The small room I rent with my mom is fill with stale air and bugs all over the place. So, to doze off in cool air makes yu feel special....makes yu feel rich....yeah that's right. But yu have to fight off other captors for a seat and the occasional intrusion of a over-bearing security guard. He/She can ruin your sleep or for me my day.

Some of the places below I have ID as sanctury and like to share with genuine public sleepers ;

- Katong Mall 2nd storey clearing, a couple of seats make available and the security guard dun disturb yu, I personally have fall asleep for a record of 2.5 hrs due to the cool air con there. Rating : 9
- Golden Landmark Shoping Ctr, on each floor next to the lift, there is a safe zone that smack behind a jargon bend. The protrusion wall that prevails blocks off all security cameras, got the idea when come across tiz couple making out and flee thru the lift when they sense my presence. The only setback is yu gotta sit on the floor, other than that air con is cool and security gives yu a peace of mind. Rating :8.5
- Suntec next to Sanur Indo Resturant and the Wealth Fountain. There is a marble seat concealed by the high walls. The aircon is moderately cool and the security guard leave yu be too, but too many stare from the walking public. Rating: 8
- National Library Bugis, the air con is moderately cool but yu have to fight with other sleepers and the very hardworking librarians tends to give yu a piece of their mind but most just leave yu be. Plus point is a lot of books to read too so it balance out. Rating : 7
- Chinatown Point and Taka, but these places need to sit on floor for a nap, air con is cool but security guard very on. Rating: 6
- Changi Airport. Too many sleepers there, need to fight. Security guards moderately on but air con cool. Rating: 6

Hope yu all like my contributions; sleep should be free anyway; a couple of vids for the road....
