recently realised alot of things i gotta be thankful 4 back in SG. i guess going overseas, away from family n friends makes ppl learn this... haha... SO u guys back home better be thankful! lol
1) i have never walked so much in my life b4, i'm really thankful 4 my dad driving me ard. u wouldn't noe how reliant i am on my dad... heee... thanks dad!
2) i am thankful 4 POTABLE drinking water right at home. here i have to buy, and buy IN BULK. so imagine, no car, too ex to take a bus, lugging 9KG of bottled water about 1km uphill back 2 my hostel. *sweat* YES sweat in 5 degree weather!!! (so this is also related 2 point 1)
3) i am thankful 4 the cost of transport back in SG. those who r NOT in secondary n primary n r constantly complaining about the cost of public transport, take joy in the fact that i'm paying loads more than u X3. for a month on bus only, i paid GBP45. which makes it SGD135, more ex than student concession of bus PLUS train. (also very much related 2 point 1)
so, be happy! i'm in a innocent state of bliss presently, unaware of my state of finances (rather, consciously avoiding trying 2 find out) pls remind ur parents 2 包红包 for me k?? :P
well, i was also thinking about how i've changed since i've been here. not much yet, but i wanna be conscious about my changes, n not suddenly find myself a different person. so here r some:
1) related to the earlier part of my post: i've walked so much more than i ever have. not that i will start enjoying it, but i think it's good...
2) as u all noe, i can't cook. rather, i couldn't cook. but now, i find myself thinking not "wat should i eat today", but "wat shall i cook today" hehe... not that i really love cooking, but it beats spending a bomb on outside food, and eating out gets really sick sometimes... u noe...
3) i go grocery shopping regularly now, n like seriously look at prices n offers b4 buying. start thinking, do i really need it, instead of "ooh, this looks pretty". that's y i love morrisons, plenty of offers, buy 1 get 1 free, buy 2 for 2 pounds etc. makes alot of difference.
4) i do laundry regularly, iron my clothes, clean up my room etc... which i used 2 do like *ahem*... once in a blue moon would b overstating. lol. i'm such a good girl!!! :P
parts of me haven't changed, i'm still a procrastinator, i still enjoy watching asian dramas, i still like reading...
parts of me i wanna change, but found myself resistant: my a-social personality. i've been trying 2 go out w friends n all, meet new ppl, but sometimes find myself giving excuses 2 stay in my room n b alone. but i'm going 2 YORK this sat with 2 of my flatmates! :D *pat on the back*
very reflective day, on the whole...
oh yeah, we're having like a CNY dinner tmr nite, my HK flatmate invited her HK friends who invited Japanese friends, n my SG friends r coming, plus my American flatmates. WOOHOO!!! will take pics n upload :)
as PD says, adios, amigos, michachos :D
