All alone in the airport

It is 0400 in the morning.(What an ungodly hour) And here I am sitting at my terminal gate completely alone. You might ask, Why Bryan is there nobody else in the airport with you? To which I would reply with something witty like the early bird gets the worm and about how I like to get to places early to avoid lines and the rush. But truth be told it is because I have this problem with being late…like OCD problem. I can’t handle being late. Unfortunately this means that I usually show up to places like work, the airport, meetings, important events, etc. very early. It is ridiculous to the point that I will plan for traffic and other variances (even when there is like a 99.9% chance that there will be absolutely no problems with the commute) and put those factors into my leave time( I plan for these even if it is 0300 in the morning.) I have found on average I tend to leave about two to three times as early as I need to…like now for instance…my gate does not even open for another 2 ½ hours so I am sitting outside locked doors typing up this post. I have issues.

            Anyways… I fly out of Singapore today. It has been such an amazing experience being here and working with the students from the National University of Singapore. This last week has been absolutely crazy trying to get our project prototypes completed and prepare for our final presentation. Which we killed in case you were wondering. We definitely had one of the best projects there. So with a few near all nighters and many Cokes I am done. Finally. It was a very intense few weeks. But now it is on to THAILAND!!!! Time to go Scuba diving for 3 ½ weeks.  So a quick recap on last weekend and this week. Friday I went to Little India and walked around, ate some amazing fish head curry, and took in the sights and sounds. It definitely felt like a completely different country than the rest of Singapore and I found myself having flashbacks of my mission to Cape Verde. After that we went and just chilled on some steps by the bayside for hours until returning home. Super chill and the perfect way to end a crazy week. Saturday I got up early and went for a swim out at Sentosa before everyone showed up at the beach. We were the only ones there and it was amazing. This weekend the Singapore Army held an open house which I got pretty excited about and so after swimming we went over there. It was pretty cool. They had some shoot houses set up that I was able to run through and they had several examples of their current weapons systems. It was cool to see what they use. This week we have not really had much of a chance to do anything other than finish up our project. But after many long hours it finally is completely done…leaving all of us in sore need of sleep. (I am going on 24+ hours being awake at the moment) Well I am going to end here and hopefully get up another post in a couple days about the first few days of Thailand. Out.
