I mean

Ahh. What's new?

Are you what I need?

Hols have been gooooot (: One of the best times of my life when I get to live how I want to, enjoy and take in things anew. Travelling for these two weeks have been an intense workout, cuz I'm climbing mountains like once every two days. Steps, inclines, mountains, mud puddles, the sea, rocks, pebbles, you name it, I've got it.

Man I REALLY should have asked for that guy's contact. Araraghghghg. Gawwwd.

The trip has been a test of my thinking as well. As to how to deal with people, to show tolerance, come to a compromise etc. Many a time each of us may wanna do our own thang you know. Plus good food isn't always available, but we did go frugal! I haven't had good music in two weeks omg the best I can come up with is singing to myself or trying to harmonize with my SPY group. Hahhaa.

Each person had his own special song to go along.

This trip was also a test of disconnecting myself with the virtual world. Which also meant lesser communication with those overseas. I think I've become slightly different. Just by talking to friends online I get a very pleasing feeling :D pleasant feeling, pleasing, whatever. It feels like I'm looking at things differently now. An attempt to show more patience? A horizon broadened? Hm.

I learnt lots of new stuff on the trip, about different plants, berries to eat when one is stuck in the wilderness, different types of trees and the best type of weather to see them in, interesting facts about animals (wombats rule by far!), met different people etc.

By today 3 of my floormates have moved out. I miss Nik's toopid antics and good food and Charlie's 'Hey YY how's it going?' greetings. Ohwells. People come and go. At least our paths crossed once.

Frantic packing going now.. but I'm at a good progress. I just have TOO MUCH to bring back to Sg, who knew that I could own so much :D 1 more month! Nothing feels warmer and better than friends who tell me they're waiting to see me again and hang out and do stuff ((: Just about nothing. It tells me that friends are really significant and they stick around.

You know, if you're so busy, don't bother. Obviously I'm not good enough motivation if you can't do something simple yeah.

Y'know

You know, life is good. Gooottttt.

Finished that one exam, on holiday now. It's pretty rather amazing considering that this semester hasn't been that extreme work at all, either that or it's something unique about Singapore education. Tho I agree. It's so much more fast-paced there, we're trained to think fast, act fast, move fast.

Past few days have been non-stop!
Fri - Supper market (which turned out to be only a small crowd)
Sat - Queen Victoria Market + shopping
Sun - Camberwell market (sian rained) + dimsum (I've had better)
Mon - Bendigo school trip
Tues - Bendigo school trip, fell asleep at everything
Wed - Rest day
Thurs - Springvale (asian community) + Chadstone (the LARGEST shopping centre in the whole of Southern Hemisphere!)
Today - Rest + pack
Sat - Brighton beach + bathing boxes!
Sun - Rest??
...
...
Wed - Fly off to Tasmania then Sydney for my TWO week holiday!


Pretty cool huhs. So urgh of me to keep falling asleep during the important stuff and perk up only for the play moments. Sighh. I hope this doesn't translate to work. I shall set my own culture to take a break when I need too, humans can't work 8 hours a day with just a lunch break!

Just before exams (again) I honestly couldn't fall asleep. And plus the heater's down (again) and it's 11 degrees at night. Arggh. Why can't they ever up the heater when we need it?? Last weekend I think I was sleeping at 2:30am for 3 nights, but I got better! Snoozed at 1230am for two nights already. I rock!

Like I said, life is good. I'm lookin' fwd to travelling, tasting Sg life again, celebrating festive seasons, meeting my friends, exploring more of Melbourne, a brand new sem next year, spending money saving money, and keeping in touch. But life can get better. I just really really want them to know I'm there. Like how some are there for me. Always.
