Picture Postcard

It was pouring this morning at dawn. I got up to shut the windows and could not get back to sleep. The think is, I did not catch much sleep. I was up till about 4 am. I wrote a letter by hand to Justin Fu. For two reasons, firstly I can’t sleep and I just want to write. Secondly he got enlisted and will soon be in the army. The thing is, I was at the bookstore yesterday, and was looking under the War/Military section. I learn something yesterday. For the case of Justin; I have to take back my stand and say that the army may be of a better place for him.

I read and look at some books about the marines and SEALs yesterday. And I must say, I take my hat off of them. I just have a wishful thinking that he can be like many of them get a management/executive post after he... (now what is that word) is no longer in the service. He do need a purpose in life.

I was online at about 1200hrs to do research on some further reading and I meet Jake once again. We had a pretty nice chat and meet his room mate (I can’t believe I just said that… all thanks to his nifty little web cam) I log off at about 1400hrs and accompany my mom to the clinic. Apparently she’s not feeling very well about her right eye.

After that, I went shopping for postcard. I’ve promised Jake to send him one. I bought one at the bookshop and when I go to the post office to get some stamps, I found that they are still open and they too sells some postcards, the bigger ones. They are better looking and more in variety. I’ve learned something today. All the while I just buy a few one dollar stamps and keep them at home. At the post office I thought of getting some better looking stamps. I learn that, standard postcards, posting to Australia and USA are only 55 cents, by Air and 35 cents by land/sea. But all the while, I’ve been sending them at one dollar to Australia! Right, that’s a lot of money we are talking about here, since I send like a few every month. Oh well.

I post if off today and he may be able to get it in 2 weeks. I kind of think I took down the address wrongly. Its Monterey and not Manterey right? I think I wrote manterey on my address book. But I remember Monterey Pine from somewhere I’ve read. It’s a California timber. Hm… we’ll find out in 2 weeks time.

I’ve done something so not me. First is the hand written letter to Justin, by mail. For a person who send Emails like no body’s business, its rather strange. I will try to get some sleep tonight. By the way, I’ve got 3 postcards. The one I posted is rather cereal. It’s a Chinese temple taken with the CBD as the backdrop. To be frank. I never know there was a temple there. I got one for myself as well, and promised to find out where it is.

There’s something on the news which I want to comment about, but bollocks! I cant remember what is it. oh well. no big deal anyway.

Regarding the book I am reading. I realized it is not possible to finish it on one week. There’s more to it. it need some thinking. Have to digest them slowly. I think I will read it, then re-read it again. I’ll see how it goes.
