My very first post from Singapore. The neighbouring land. I am terribly homesick, yet I’m adapting fast. I’m always like that. I suppose it’s what you call survival. Or rather, desperate measures. When your life is like that, you adapt to live as you can manage. That’s how I believe I am. I have no choice but to live as I can, and move on. Reminisce along the way, yet strive to survive in whatever I was set to face. Some say I’m too optimistic. But if I choose to be as pessimist as they are, I don’t think I can’t last this week. Some say they think I’m so brave, to be still standing in a foreign country, doing what the locals do, and still keep a cherry face in classes and all. Personally, I think that’s what I need. Staying positive, and having the courage to face the fear. Don’t think I’m so strong people. I’m not. I may not be totally alone, but it does feel like it. Sigh. Sometimes, whenever my parents call, I’d suddenly miss home so bad that I’d start crying. (It’s actually damn embarrassing to admit this but, heck!) Not like, crying cats and dogs, flooding the vicinity around me or something, but more like, teardrops. So it can get pretty annoying when I’m in public. Hmph!
So today’s my second day at college. Class was from 10am all the way to 6pm. Of course, we have breaks in between but you know. I was supposed to meet up with Ernest and Tanveer for dinner with a condition that Ernie drive me home, all the way back in Sembawang cause no way in hell I’d take the MRT and bus alone at some late hour in the night. No matter how brave I am, I wouldn’t. Anyway, he can’t send me home cause he doesn’t know the way and he thinks it’s too far away. Such a ‘gentleman’, hmph! So we scraped the plan and by the time he decided that, it was already 7pm! So Tanveer and I went to Sun Plaza at Sembawang and just had our dinner there. By the time we were done, it was already 9pm!! And let’s not get me started on how annoyed I was about Tanveer, being all pessimistic and getting on my nerves, while I was trying to adapt and live like every human being who gets out of their comfort zone and still manage to survive! Hmph! I was seriously pissed off with him. Ok, I’m starting to rant, and I shall stop here. Ooooo! By the way, I can take MRT and buses by myself now! I am so so proud. *shines* I mean. I can’t do any of that back in KL. I am so sad. Lol. Well, now I can!
! And and and, I got myself a red hot wallet yesterday!! I am so so happy! It’s a poor imitation of the sort of wallet I really want like that one from Braun Buffel but I suppose it’ll have to do for now. Until I get my funds to get MY Braun Buffel. Hah!!
But all in all, I am living well. Minus the exception that I’m now washing my own clothes (whatever I can do, I do). Classes are fine so far, and making new friends isn’t a problem.
Heck, we already have a mafia group in my class and I’m already one of the evil members! And it’s just been 2 days!!! I never knew we could be so quickly bonded. The things we talk about, like we knew each other for months! Lol. Funny how things work out. Sigh.
Well tomorrow’s class at 8am, so I gotta go sleep early and all. I shall keep you all updated with latest happenings and stuff. Definitely everything will be new and hip now, so not to worry, I’ll flood my blog with everything that happens here. Any requests? Haha! Til then, peeps.
Toodles.
