i have to cover four days full of awesome before i fly off to brunei tomorrow! for scholarship stuff. i am officially 'on government service' hahaha. but of course, i suppose i can't talk too much about that.

tuesday: science centre with kenny! officially a science geek now. 'm really not much of a science person, never have been. i don't even know how to balance an equation or anyting of that chemistry stuff. however, the science centre was interesting because it out me in touch with many of the things i had lost or forgotten from such a long time ago, ad even some new ones in the field of space and nanotechnology which i appreciated learning about.

wednesday: hang out timez with hwee! we dined at astons where there was no fish and i had to eat chicken for the first time there. we also watched inception, which totally and completely and absolutely blew my mind. it's so creative and the arts kid in me loves that there can be so many intepretations of the movie. sort of like literature. there might be a novelisation coming out soon, i hope it's appropriately accurate and ties up the loose ends of the plot and removes a few of the plot holes. we went to marmalade pantry after for the bestest cakes and the bestest teas (: hwee said it was like New York, and i can sort of see how the ambience was similar hahaha.

thursday and friday: both days were spent with kenny, and we explored singapore! went to the zoo on thursday and mount faber on friday and really i can't explain how great those days were. (and really, i'm too lazy because once i get started i won't be able to stop until i have given it enough detail for this post to be worthy of the experience) we were also pleasantly surprised by fireworks emanating from resorts world which was visible from the mainland. and when we said bye, the car radio started playing "bye bye" by mariah carey. happenstance (:

again, i'll be away til next saturday in brunei. and next sunday (rest day of one day) i have to slide into safti for another week. c'est la vie, and adios to all!

AMAZING DAY out at wild wild wet with the bestie! we sat on all the slides and rides and bummed around the wave pool because we're lazy like that. brought her to this lovely shop at cine where she bought shoes (: in retrospect, i think it's amazing that we've been besties for so long despite the obvious differences such as us living in different countries and all. we're the best example of a successful long distance relationship! :D love love love her.

later met up with hwee and paul and had dinner at ichiban boshi (best black pepper beef i have ever tasted) at esplanade before we took a half an hour walk all the way to marina bay sands hotel and slacked around there.

i really enjoy walking around that region (the CBD of singapore) because it's beautiful at night. the skyline is gorgeous and walking by the riverside always gives me a certain feeling of peace. i was also with really special people which made it even better.

kenny is coming home from aussie tonight, nush has been back from aussie for a day already. people come and go but true friends stick around (:

tiff, stop being a stalkerrr D:

(currently cooking bak kut teh for the 'rents. hwee can testify as to how freaking awesome my bak kut teh is kthx hahaha.)

you know, i dreamt i blogged last night. it was a really long post and fraught with meaning. it's the kind of thing i could write if i had a lot of time and was overflowing with feelings. unfortunately, my current state of mind does not include either of these things >_> i shall try to do justice to my thoughts though, all the same.

went on a class outing last saturday. i think my fave part was when paul/hwee/debs/jy/joe/bern and i just sat in the food court of 313 and discussed everything from taylor swift to LKY. i guess paul was right when he said something along the lines of sometimes the best times don't involve you doing anything much. i know for a fact that my best times with paul always involved food food food and then sitting at the orchard central rooftop garden talking smack. it's like a recurring thing in all our outings. it might seem terribly uncreative but i think it's special to me.

i'm going to miss hwee/debs/bern when they go to the US. hwee's headed to tufts, debs to RISD and bern's going to michigan. i must say, i'm terribly jealous of the fact that everyone in the states is just so near to each other, and they can visit and road trip with each other. my best friend is five hours away from me by train in edinburgh ): though i guess i should count myself fortunate that i do have friends/acquaintances in london i can visit at times. but for them and i, we're seven hours by flight away. and it doesn't seem like much, but it is. i know this because my best friend and i have been a five hour flight apart for the last three and a half years and sometimes it really sucks.

but i'm glad we're still besties, we're the best example of a 'long distance relationship' ever (: and at least now it's five hours by TRAIN instead of by AIR.

have been slightly emo nemo lately (read: the last few days) because it just hit me that everyone is leaving so darn soon. feeling so bereft just thinking about how lonely my september is going to potentially be. everyone will have started local uni, and everyone will have flown off for the states, and my uni starts so damn late that even the people in UCL/edinburgh are flying off like two weeks before me. in fact, the only friends i have (pretty much) are the peeps going to imperial (whom i'm not like super duper close too, though we are friends) and the army boys (but only on weekends).

hence: HELLO LONELY WEEKDAYS.

i know i shouldn't be bitching so much cuz i am fortunate after all, to have this chance to go overseas and study. i am more fortunate than the army boys who have to stay and watch people move on. but just thinking of future lonely weekdays makes me want to mope already. meh. i hope it passes fast. anyway i have to go down again to do some scholarship stuff. need to start getting ready. sigh. also, i am flying on the night of the 27th of september (monday night), i take off at 2310 so i have to be at the airport at around 2010 or 2110? just saying (:

I miss you.
