whee..and i'm back in melb once again.. sg was a blast.. a whirlwind of activities and outings and shopping+eating sprees.. lotsa mango-ing and zara-ing.. and akashi and sakae sushi and dao hui and chomp chomp and xiao long baos.. somehow, food always tastes better in sg.. maybe its the company more than anything.. it was hot and humid but i think the company was worth braving the heat for.. (:
but i realise that its not possible to have two places that i call home. i feel 'at home' in both sg and melb. but somehow, something was amiss when i went back to sg. singapore is home because i grew up there and my family's there and my close friends are there. but my life isn't there anymore. i don't have a routine there. here in melb, i didn't grow up here and my family's not here and my friends are all relatively new. but its home because my life is here. i have my own little routines. i have friends and i spend the large part of the year here, building friendships. i don't know whether anybody even understands what i'm saying here and i think what i wanted to say came out a little jumbled. i guess this whole para can be summarised into that i felt almost out of place in sg when i realised i was constantly asking when did things happen. when did things change. when i realised i knew so much about my friends, yet i was so detached from their lives. when i realised that i was the same and my friends were the same, but the circumstances surrounding our lives were changed. ok, that wasn't really a summary. but you get the idea.
anyway, can somebody tell me why my fridge was SMELLY and had ALGAE when i came back?!?! it was really ultra gross and the smell was the kind that lingers in your nose long after you leave the source. raar! and me being a lil ocd ended up scrubbing it with detergent until i could stick my head in and smell lemons (pls don't visualise that). and i also bought a lemon today and placed it in my fridge so that it wldn't stink no more.
last night was dinner and dessert with the cell(or what's left of it). dessert at pancake parlour reminded me of EUGENIA LOH MEI TING! i wanted to take photo and send it to her so that she can drool over it. but my camera no batt. haha. and today was lunch and shopping and grocery-ing with irene. we decided that we got too much fats that's why we don't feel cold anymore. so we shared lunch and left the rice there. and we walked to the city and back as exercise. haha. eh we walked back with groceries k. so we exercised our calf muscles and arm muscles also. haha. and kookai had storewide sale. and i saw a really lovely dress that was 50% off. and i now have the ability to resist temptation. (:
i'm off to watch teevee and maybe eat some of my precious post cereal. hah! so much for dieting (:
