random rambles.
its already the 3rd week of the new trimester and i'm already steeling for the huge wave of workload that is coming my way. come to think of it i'm already quite behind on my readings and i dont foresee this going smoothly. haha. but anyhoo, i shall not go on abt school.
i've realised that apart from long busrides, i actually do enjoy long walks with no destination in mind. many times i found myself wandering down the streets of town alone with no intention of shopping, yet fully enjoying every moment of it. just the other day i randomly abandoned my books to take a short walk up to mt faber (its fantastic tt we're located at the foot of the hill.hoho.) and i can honestly tell you it was great. tho half the time i was trying to not get knocked down by oncoming cars and tour buses, and also having to ignore the stares of pple in the cars who might think i'm suicidal (i'm not by the way.haha.), it was still extremely therapeutic. it was as tho the further i walk up the mountain, the higher i climb, i would draw closer to God.
i had the hope that maybe if i can literally get away from the hustle and bustle of the streets and pple, i would be able to hear Him better and hopefully to get some answers. it felt nice to talk, to reason, to rationalise, to put two and two together and even to argue with God in my head cos it just makes things easier to say. i mean, He already knows what i'm thinking, what in the world can i hide? ahwell, signs and answers i did not actually get, but at the end of it all, i did felt more at peace with myself (not tryin to sound zen here tho) and things appeared in better perspective. oh ya, and God knows better than i do. heh.
after meeting up afew chums last week, suddenly felt the odd sense of loss realising that there are some whom i cannot reach anymore. cannot remember how it stopped, how we lost that communication, how it ended up being awkward. just goes to show how fragile a relationship is isnt it. time
does change lots of things and maybe i'm just trying to cushion the probability of the inevitable happening. if things could remain constant, if thoughts could be read, if things could be clear right from the start, i'd wanna be the first to grab it. but ohwell, it just doesnt happen. ultimately, cliche as it sounds, God is constant. cling onto that.
please stick ard and keep me in check."of course! like a leech my dear, like a leech. ha!"

bergennnn.
sakura buffet at orchard shopping centre is hereby deemed to be lousier than the science centre one and i'm guessing the marine parade one as well. NEXT TIME i'll definitely try out the science centre spread since reliable sources (hope so!) said that the place is twice as big.hoho! but anyway! the food is not that bad considering no one complained that the oysters are all not fresh (not that i eat them anyway) and i love the mushroom soup/prawns/sushi/unagi on stick/fake abalone. shall not go into how we must eat 26bucks worth of food according to the market price out there cos ultimately we are still ripped off considering they'll offer tourists 8bucks for the buffet as compared to 30bucks paid by locals. so yeah get over it.
anyhoo! i have discovered a new place that can be a potential migratable place: BERGEN NORWAY. for one, the exchange rate is 1SGD to 4Kroner. EUROPEAN COUNTRY LEH! call me a midget for realising that only now but i was seriously damn shocked.high standard of living and whatnot aside, the exchange rate is already a gd sign. drivers are cordial on the roads so i have heard, always giving way (and i can kinda vouch for that.even australians have a thing against pple cutting lanes.hmm.) and i'm sure they make use of their signal lor. =/ high standard of morality and honesty, fantastic weather, they have oldstreets and alleyways, country markets, fishing, mountains and scenic views, museums and galleries
*rambles on and on with even higher pitch*. u get the drift.haha.so YES! it shall be worth considering. so yep if one day you realised that i'm suddenly gone from singapore, you should prolly try bergen. g'night folks!
p/s: oh anyway, pls do not try to spoil my bergen dreams by telling me horrible things. i might just slaughter you.
thats all.
