Dysfunctional Dreamer

Listening to: Michelle Branch,"You Get Me"

"Hey, you are on my side
They, they just roll their eyes
Yeah, yeah, yeah

'Cause you get me
When nobody understands
You come and take the chance, baby
You get me
When none of the pieces fit
You make sense of it
You get me
You look inside my wild mind
Never knowing what you'll find
And still I want you all the time
Yeah, I do
'Cause you get me..."

I realized that I really do enjoy the simple pleasures of life the most- a walk by the beach, feeling the wind in my hair as I zip through on the bicycle, the adrenaline rush when I than I'm going higher on the swing. Sometimes we tend to forget the simplest things in life, when we get caught up in our fast-moving world...Eversince I've been, I realized that I've taken so many things for granted for example the immense happiness I get, laughing with friends, people whom I've known for a good part of my life, and are still around to put up with me...

For the moment, I'm sort of stuck here for till after the 21st of September, as the new ruling given by the British Embassy that students starting the degree can only leave the country two weeks before their course starts. I was supposed to fly off on the 30th of August, but my new visa is only valid from the 21st September onwards...*sigh*
I really do miss the freedom I had in London.

My mother's being such a nag, it was funny at first, but not anymore-the novelty has worn off, and now she's trying to take over my life again. She's allowing for a little leeway, under certain circumstances, but everything has to be played according to her rules. Talk about tyranny!!!

Eversince I've been back, I've been looking at Singapore with new eyes..It's true, it was as though my life in London never existed, and it seems like quite a lot of things have changed in the short time I've been away. My friends find it strange that I am in constant awe of something that is no longer new for them, and that makes me feel like a tourist in my own country. Strange, but exciting! (: What a friend used to say is true, things that used to annoy me so much before seem very funny, now that I know that I probably don't need to put up with it in the long run. It's good being back!!!

Which part of the world is home for you, now?

Listening To: The Buzzing Traffic Outside Pauline's Room, Really...

Am quite contented to be back. I really am. It still feels pretty surreal, especially after surprising everyone with my comeback, and suddenly, I'm surrounded by the people whom I've known for ages, but not seen for the past year. To think just more than a week ago, I was walking down the streets of Central London, and here I am, perspiring away in the sweltering Singapore sun. Not used to it, but I'm not complaining (at least not when I try to stay in the comforts of the air-conditioned shopping centres).

I'm happy. St least for now. (:
