Things That Will Never Change....
- The fact that people will always let you down.
- The horrendous beauty of Singlish.
- My addiction to seafood hor fun and chicken rice.
- How much I love my Dunman High friends. (You guys rock so hard. <3)
And in other news:
I'm back in S'pore! After 6 grueling months, I'm home! Everything is so much more vivid here. The sky is so blue, the trees are so green and the everything is so clear! It's like I've been walking around with a layer of dust on my specs for ages and finally wiped them clean. Gods, I love this place. I don't care if bubble gum is banned and that I have to get used to saying excuse me again, it's a relief to be back with people who are genuinely glad to see me. (The mosquito bites I could do without though. I've got one on my right arm and two on my legs already.)
Been catching up on everything since I got back on Saturday night. Dental appointments, eating sprees, visits to the Kwan Yin Temple, you name it, I've done it. After we went to the temple to pray, Mum left me and Victor to wander around OG's toy section as she went shopping. It was interesting to look at toys that kids play nowadays and how the others have changed/evolved. Polly Pocket is no longer as small as my thumbnail, she's now longer than my thumb! Barbie's face is different from what I remember and she's even got removable tattoos now. Even the boardgames have changed!
Which reminds me, don't forget to ask for Cluedo and maybe Risk before we go back to Shanghai. I want to get this book on the oligopoly of the oil industry in Russia too but I can only go book shopping when the National Day discounts start up. Ho hum.
Going to Cosfest with Ying Zhi on Saturday and I'm mega excited! This is going to be my first convention type event and I do hope it'll be awesome. I'm so jealous of the peeps who attend such events on a constant basis. Will try to take as many pics as possible for memories sake since I've got a memory like a sieve! *glees*
