The Last Lecture

"Because if you lead your life the right way, the karma will take care of itself, the dreams will come to you. If you live properly, the dreams will come to you."

- Randy Pausch

rest in peace.

Surprise.

Singapore is not in China.

get it right.

Singapura

yes. this is the official "i'm back" post.

i'm back. hoorah.

as you can tell, i'm trying really hard to curb my enthusiasm.

okay, so i was hoping that by not writing about it, it'd still be my imagination. but the heat's brought me back to reality. and i've finally brought myself to blog.

so.

life's been as mundane as it could be ever since i returned. for one simple reason. i stayed home for 2 whole days the moment i reached home on thursday night. yes, 2 complete days at home. i didnt want to step out of the house at all. i think tampines mall would have given me a panic attack.

so what does a person do for 2 entire days at home? watch the "Life of Ryan" weekend marathon. yes. Life of Ryan. ryan sheckler. that skateboarder teen. yes me. watching yet another one of mtv's reality series. no it's not The Hills. at least he's a professional skateboarder(anna'll kill me for this). but you get it. i've resorted to watching mtv reality shows.

I'M SORRY! i'm sorry, me!

i'll snap out of it. i just need a few more days.

til then.

life is good.

i cant believe i'll be going back in 2 days.

i miss singapore so much.

the warm weather. the overcrowding population. the un-gentlemenly men. the loud women. the lians. the minahs. the mads and bengs. the wannabes. the poseurs. the whiners. the skinny beanpoles. the loud techno ringtones. the polluted beaches. the compact city. tampines mall. the competition. the stress.

yes. it's about time i went back.

now please give me a minute while i burn my passport.

it should only take a minute.

Crikey.

it's about 15 degrees outside here in brisbane right now. cold but not freezing, just the way i like it. if there's one good reason not to return to singapore, this would be it.

but of course, this wouldnt be the ONLY reason NOT to return to singapore. i could think of a million right now, but there's no point because i'd still be going back anyway. ah well. i'll soak in whatever i can right now.

so the past 4 days have been great. i guess my body's been trying to adapt to the change in weather here so i've been a bit sick, getting sore throat and flu altogether. but hey, there's always pi pa gao. it's the bomb i tell you. my throat's feeling much better.

people. i've met alot of different people over the past four days. people from different parts of the world, all residing in australia right now, and all friends of my friends. it's been great meeting new people. that's one thing i've always looked for in a great holiday.

food. ah. food. i've been popping in sooo much over the past 4 days, i'm pretty sure i'll put on another 10 pounds by the time i return. it doesnt help that the people here keep telling me i'm tiny and could eat more. really, i'm 5kg overweight in singapore as i've been told. godzilla.

my mobile's been giving me quite a few problems so thank god i brought along my bro's camera. stupid nokia and their stupid problems. oh well. more museum tomorrow! awesome.

til then. :)

hello.

i'm flying solo

to Australia

TOMORROW!
