My first and funniest (and only)
convocation, congrats darling. The kite, for all the laughs it
brought, was well worth it. And I really am proud of my friend- I would have died 3 years ago if I did civil engineering. (Sorry I look kindda la sup here with my sua ku present) (:
Looking kind of sloppy and extremely chubby beside my two working loves. (I'm sorry
Porie, the other picture was completely blur, but you've got your DJ to blame.)
Having a mild case of sore eyes and a bad case of luggage panic attack. Also concerned as I have never played 8 before (but I still think its really cool that the number 8 is the only position that has no other name except its number). Face planting with 200 kg on top of me is fine, but I hope the ball does successfully get out of the scrum
occasionally. No point in the jitters now, and maybe its actually good I need to look completely composed.
I am really excited for the nightly supermarket trips though. I absolutely love supermarket trips in foreign lands.
But really, LETS GO TO LAOS :D

I helped build the NUS rugby team and sometimes I wonder if I have the capacity to love the ever changing team (a concern i have with blacks too at a much less pressing scale) or is it about the sport or certain players or even the coach. Am I around for all the wrong reasons? Too much to chew on for 5am especially since I have yet again another magic fair duty in precisely 4hrs (yes, no shit). I don't like to say this very much because I feel like it keeps me locked in the past and it discounts my present, but I miss my old girls.
A little bit of pessimism for a 5.30am snack.

(We were talking about a not so nice girl A who managed to pick up a nice guy R)
Me: wah she really 捡到宝
Aileen Tan: yes I think so too. But R probably 踩到屎
Hahahhahahahhahahahaha too funny.

An entire day with the rugby girls make for an almost perfect night. Friendship so level up this is the first time I'm not wearing bra with people around; I wouldn't mind a cup of yuan yang now and a hug (but no, that would just be a whole new level of friendship I dont think I want to peruse tonight). (:

Weird bites killing me cause I perpetually need to scratch. Locked myself in the toilet and scratched liberally for 5 mins and it was relief like I've never felt before.

Oh today, against all logic of the world, it rained in Disneyland. (by the way, I have officially gotten first class honors in the major of flying solo because I have watched a movie (had to, it was harry), visited a theme park and taken a roller coaster alone). I was walking down the steps of sleeping beauty's castle thinking how slippery it was and how if I were to slip, the stone steps would probably shatter my back. And because I have the uncanniest ability to do exactly what I think I don't want to do, I slipped of course. But by some amazing grace, I managed to grab hold of the railing with my last two fingers and I dangled off it with my back 10 cm from the ground. I never thought all the grip exercises I had to do for handball and rugby would come in this handy.

I think one reason why some people are so different behind a screen/ over a phone line/ on paper (as in letters) is because of the seeming absence of any immediate consequences.

So far I've had a Brazilian try to take me out, a cute english young lad hold my hand, friend of CEYL tried to get fresh, many Spanish man eating tofu, girl from dunno where asking me to follow her home, Italian (I think. He cldnt speak a word of English) ah Pek twice my dad's age putting his hand on my thigh for a good 5 min, Nigerian guy telling me to sit next to him on the train and this Italian waiter asking me to wait for him to disco his shift is ending in 20 min. Not trying to say I'm attractive or what (none of these men (and woman) are either except for ceyl) but I must say some people don't get the hint, or the obvious no. Which is why the waiter is STILL talking to me despite me looking at my phone for the past 15 min.

Somewhere between Santorini and Milano (Milano is way cooler than Milan haha) I prayed for patience, gratitude, love and a bigger heart so as to spend the next 5 days without causing some form of tragedy. Perhaps God decided that would be too big a project; instead, he removed (through no effort of mine!) the source of the demand for my patience, gratitude, love and a bigger heart. Oh, he works in such mysterious ways (:

"
We search for happiness everywhere, but we are like Tolstoy's fabled begged who spent his life sitting in a pot of gold, begging for pennies from every passerby, unaware that his fortune was right under him the whole time."
-eat, pray, love It is overtly cliched to be reading a book about finding oneself on a travel trip while trying to find myself on my travel trip but yes, this is exactly what I am doing. The first time I read this book I found it rather pretentious (even though I did like it). I mean she has a life revealation in every of her 109 chapters and quotable quotes ever other page- I found that too deliberate and unbelievable as a travel log. But reading it again has brought about even more things to think about and though her journey is still artificial, her thoughts and life probing questions and interesting metaphors strike a much louder chord. (: I'm glad I have it to delve into to restore some semblence of peace for the past 4 days.
Sometime in the idle day of today, I got to thinking if I were a book, what kind of book will I be (since you know I'm so cliched and predictable and some people have arrogantly told me they can read me like an open book- in their dreams/nightmares really)? And I think I would be a beautiful children's book, with colorful and pretty illustrations of various styles- cartoon, watercolour, pop art, classical, etc. I would have clear, simple yet cutting sentence in a nice font that would tell the story as it is. Or so it seems, because there would be much to uncover in the pictures and words if one would care to look. I would be something like "The little prince", but better illustrated and less wordy (anyways I nv finished TLP, it was just too far-fetched somehow). I would be boring, to the disinterested mind.
So if one day someone asks you what kind of book will van be, you've got the answer handy haha.

And I realized, with a jolt, how I'm starting to make plans and feel like I've too little time for too many people once again. So much for the trip that will lead me to the path of reclusiveness, if that word even exists. Gotta slow down and "chill".
Man, if I hear the word "chill" again, I just might convulse.
It's quickly becoming one of my top 5 hated non-vulgar word. There is nothing wrong with having emotions. Calm down is fine, when one is over enthusistic or such, but "chill" is dismissive, judgmental and, like the word itself, plain lazy.
(Besides, if I had wanted to chill, I woulnt have flown across the whole of Europe.)

For what Singapore lacks in antiquity (I disagree that we don't have a culture. Everywhere has a local culture, even if you don't like it very much), we make up with our explosiveness of flavor in food.
So, as I am missing home and more importantly, the food at home, I am listing an army of things I must have when I get back and you are very welcomed to claim yourself as my food buddy for any one or more of them:
Ba chor mee, laksa, arts laksa Yong tao Fu, pork knuckles, mellben crab (butter AND chill), ku lu yo, sissors cut curry rice, Nasi lemak (changi?), chicken salad from fft (claimed), m by the river risotto, hwaheng beefball noodles and skinny wings from ewf (claimed), dim sum, popiah (finally time for some legendary parkway parade popiah?), koi, milk tea from full house, yuan yang from hk cafe, yogurt pearls, Korean BBQ beef, carrot cake (white with extra egg), cha kuay tiao from army market, almond taohuay from old airport road, Conrad buffet (heesharonhee) and thats it FOR NOW.
All those people who say I'll lose the holiday weight when I come back can stop trying to kid me haha

Even saying "don't give a shit" is 4 words too many.
Yes, (if you're a net addict like hubba) I had this post edited because obviously I was so emotional my words got lost. Thats why I am fully convinced of the postmodernist notion that words can never accurately convey whats going through your head/heart.

And despite it all, we had a great night, and he brought us back on the ATV I almost killed us on despite having his eyes caked with dirt and freezing (we both were to be fair) in his skin and bones. (:

I'll really rather get lost on my own merit. Also because I like to learn my way around and out of 'lostness' myself.
This entry is way too calm for what I've been feeling the past many hours. Lets just say I oscillate between counting down the hours till I'm alone again while taking deep calming, meditative breaths and offering my most feverish prayer thanking God someone is here with me in this. Another story for another day (poor bbe is getting the brunt of it though haha).
(If you think its a pity for me to be doing anything but enjoy every moment of this glorious Santorini beauty, my reply is that even my room at Seletar Springs is nicer than this hotel.)

Too long I've been afraid of, losing love I guess I've lost.
Well if it's love, it comes at much too high a costAnd if I'm flying solo,
At least I'm flying free.
To the ones that ground me, take a message back from me:
Tell them how I'm defying gravity
Flying high, defying gravity!
And I am completely reloving Wicked :D
