about: my life
eating tim-tam chocolate biscuit in singapore is different from that in nz...
is it e chocolate itself?
is it e temperature of e environment?
is it the surrounding?
is it my mood?
or is it just everything else?
i can remember clearly, a packet of tim-tam cost appro. NZ$2. being displayed on the huge supermarket shelf, with so many different variety n flavour. how when i use my fingers to take a piece, e chocolates doesn't dirt my hands. yet taking every bite, e chocolate just melts in my mouth naturally. every bite sending chills down my back, e sense of satisfaction, e sense of "i'm on cloud heaven". this is life! this is my pampering life.
on the other hand, back in singapore, a packet of tim-tam cost appro. S$3.50. displayed on a small congested shelf in e supermarket, with only 2 variety to chose from. as i used my bare hands to pick up a piece, e chocolate almost immediately melt on my fingers, dirtying it. thus having to put e remaining packet in e fridge. after a while, e chocolate just get too hard, it doesn't melt in my mouth anymore. e texture of e chocolate seems so dry n 'fake'. no more of that sense of satisfaction. every bite make me not like this piece of tim-tam n making me miss my days in nz more n more.

each time i'm upset, bored, un-motivated, i will think of my days in nz...
think of my international friends...
think of e fun & happiness i had there...
think of e crazy things i did...

about: my life
after a long long while, i'm deciding to post a post...
thinking back of the past 3 months back in singapore from my sep, my perception of life, my expectation, my emotions have changed...
i'm really thanksful for the precious 4.5mths of my sep experience... to the land that is known to have the happinest people... the new zealanders... i just have to agree strongly that thats life in nz... so happy, so peaceful, so enjoyable, so enriching, so encouraging, so meaningful, so great, so memoriable... certain emotions and experience that is just lacking being back in singapore.
well, half a sem as a year 3 student have passed... well, tough, challenging, stressful, boring, not motivating...
it seems like turning 21, i've step into a new phrase of my life... to start to think beyond what i have and what i am at present moment... to looking n think further... to prepare... to discover... not possible to be as naive and simple minded as before anymore...
welcome to my new stage of life!
guess life will never be the same as before again..
