fairy tales
i often think with a rational mind, question the possibility and truth, critic as an adult the whole naiveness of it all.. but sometimes it is beautiful to just believe.. unwavering.. that fairy tales perhaps may come true..
waiting
there's so much to look forward to.. as the excitment turned into apprehension and now turning back into excitment once again, it's interesting how a highly anticipated trip can finally come true.. three weeks ago while doing my internship, two weeks ago during my trip to shanghai, I could hardly imagine it all unfold.. but as i started out unpacking then deciding that i should start packing again, i'm preparing myself day by day, both physically and mentally..
i have successfully overcome lots of inertia and began packing, only to find myself somewhat stuck with loads of things to bring and deciding which are the absolutely necessary ones.. winter clothing seems all too simple for me, since i've been a tropical creature for my whole life, packing them all in sounded not too big a feat.. but then i realised that i did possess quite a substantial amount of winter wear along the years, taking up almost a full luggage worth of it.. still, i'm feeling awkward abt dressing for the winter for an extended period of time.. considering it's gonna be rather warm when i first arrive and that i'll be going through both fall and winter, it's actually quite a bit of thinking to do before i pack..
this week is the week i'm trying to settle everything properly.. extracted my wisdom tooth after a rather interesting, painless yet traumatic experience.. visited my dentist, going to visit a doctor, meet up with friends, some of whom i perhaps have not met for ages.. remembering to eat all the local food, clearing my debts, claiming my assets.. it is indeed a good time to be doing things i may not even think of doing for the next 6 months were i in singapore..
waiting.. that's what i've been doing for almost the entire year.. it seems like this part of the year will be determinant of the entire 2007 for me.. it seems like i have drawn a close to my nus career for the moment, to begin something different in a foreign land.. will i be saddened? will i miss home? will i miss the conveniences and the dependence? will i get a culture shock? will i be unable to adapt? these questions doesn't seem to linger more than required, and i really want to be able to experience the goods and bads myself.. a life i lead on my own, as i answer to myself and no one else..
