Singapore Day 5: That crashing sound you heard was me crashing

I've never had very healthy sleep habits, but for at least three weeks now, I've been averaging about four hours of sleep per night. Generally I've been able to somewhat catch up on weekends (I know, this isn't really catching up) but things have been so insane lately that I haven't been able to.

Singapore Trip Day 3: City Lights

Doorway full of sky

I know my content has been kind of light these past few days -- it's been REALLY busy around here, and I'm in the middle of several things at the moment. I'll get back to real posting hopefully in the next couple of days, but in the meantime, here's another one from the depths of the archives -- this one →
