Man, it's been a long night, just sitting here trying not to look back

I'm so lost. I don't know. Some photos from my last week of July. I think. Or maybe it's not. I'm losing track of time.

I can spend the whole day in Kinokuniya. Though I have this unspoken loyalty for Borders. Why? I don't know. @Bugis Junction



White Chocolate pudding! I really do love it. Starbucks will for a long time remind me of the time they had their one-for-one Java Chip offer, and I was tip-toeing, trying to catch a glimpse of the barista at work. It's so interesting! Not to mention she was super nice and started chit-chatting with me :D For the hour long subway dinner in the dark, talking about anything and everything, enthralled by stories that were really in fact about mundane lives. 



Strictly Pancakes is so so good. It's the only place where I don't eat like a glutton, because their portions are so filling and so sinfully rich that I can never finish one serving. @Prinsep St

I've been craving Strictly Pancakes forever! Finally got the chance when I caught up with Joewie who miraculously did not die in Russia. Applaud. The craziest friend I have or will ever have, I suspect.



Roast Chicken from Poulèt. With mushroom and cream sauce. @Vivocity

Hmm I don't know. It's not bad. But I couldn't stomach anything else for hours after this meal. Cream sauce and I do not go well together. The braised chicken is better, and I'd pick Saveur any day over this. 

It's one of those days when the ghosts of horrible feelings past come haunting. Just remembering the horrors of the lows during the limbo period and the aftermath is enough for me to want to wish the worst of wishes. Camp. Hong Kong. Dream. 


Man, it's been a long day, stuck thinking 'bout it driving on the freeway - Sad, Maroon 5
Clearly I have a tendency to write when I'm feeling down. This maroon 5 song is a fuel for sadness. I miss their ballads so much. They make beautiful sappy ballads. Think: Songs about Jane. Will the mass pop market please shift their tastes back there and stop feeding the dubstep mania or whatever ?!

German's the first module in a long long time that I've taken that requires hardcore mugging. I think I forgot how to memorize and hardcore mug. Godbless my headache.  Peace.

Take this sinking ship and point it home; We've still got time (Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová, Falling Slowly)

I just realised the reality of informing parents that I, their dear daughter, has failed Chem twice in a row. 43%. And that isn't a pretty picture. Its a son-of-a-bitch of a reality. It's always at this point of time wherein I panic, and regret not studying harder, though I can't quite change anything already. That panic should probably kick in 1 month before the exams where I actually can do something. Pity my reaction system is a tad delayed. And I don't seem to have conditioned to the idea of: Panic way before exam > Study > Do relatively ok > Happily ever after. It's probably also not good that I don't think critically enough. Observing and thinking should be natural. Just not coming to me. So there was a talk on how to write personal statements. So people get coached on how to write personal statements. Any random person's personal statement can be transformed from a bland boring one into a pretty, inspiring, lovely, memorable, unique one with ...

Really?

It's been almost 5 months since the trip to Cambodia, but, it doesn't nearly feel as long as that. It's probably cheesy to say that it's changed me for life, but I think that it has. Everytime I receive an email related to the orphange in Cambodia, I tend to reminisce about the whole experience there. It's almost awesomely weird that I can get so attached to people I've talked to, spent time with for only a few days. I guess, there's a sense of genuiness in what they say. No lies, no cover-ups. Getting through the initial awkwardness of shyness, of inhibition, makes it all the more fulfilling maybe. That Vimol and Sok Heng treated me as a friend, talked to me as friend to friend despite being strangers at the start of the day and despite the relative language barriers warms my heart. That Titu and Narin help out in every way that they can with all the smiles and laughter, makes me feel like I should be cheerful and happy 24/7. But I guess, realising that...
