Nobody said it was easy
It's such a shame for us to part
```
It has suddenly dawned upon me that I've only got 20+ days left in Singapore.
Good gravy.
Just got back from dinner with Jingfang! I think Plaza Sing has become our usual haunt for dinners. Since its convenient for the both of us haha. Ended up eating at KFC because we two had some cravings for it. Unhealthy, yes I know. But a craving's a craving! Gotta satisfy it. (: Walked around after that and went to Food Republic for ice kachang dessert. Then we realised that we should have eaten there instead, so that I can eat local fare. Which made sense, since I've got such a short period of time left in Singapore. In other words, I've got such a short period of time left to eat my favourite local food! Omg omg. ): Haha well. I guess I'll just have to stick to eating local food everytime I go out then. (:
My brother's finally back from Taiwan for three long weeks. My parents and I were crazy enough to stay up till two in the morning and go pick him from the airport. I think it was a fun experience. Always liked seeing Singapore asleep, there's this very serene touch to everything you look at. The car park was surprisingly pretty crowded at such an unearthly hour, but I guess everyone's excited to see their loved one again. I was happy in the car on the way back.. Finally we were all together again. Even if it was just for that short ride back, I felt whole. I guess being the 'only kid' in the house for the past year or so hasn't been that great to me. I still wish my brother had more time at home. Weekends are just too short. I think fetching someone from the airport reminds me of Meng's Kitchen and the mee pok. Because everytime I go pick someone up from Changi, I always crave for Meng's. Especially if it's at night, haha. Gosh, I think I should just make it a tradition now. I definitely would want to eat Meng's first thing whenever I get back from Australia on visits! Haha what a freak I am.
While waiting for my brother to get his luggage from the belt, this family were wearing masks and were escorted out by airport personnel escorting them. My parents kinda went crazy when they spotted them.. They were like telling me to get away from the group (even though we were separated by that glass door. All I did was to roll my eyes and continue waiting for my brother. But thinking back, with this stupid swine flu spreading around.. Where do we draw the line between paranoia and being safe? A friend of mine recently passed a comment saying that the government is being too paranoid in handling the swine flu situation, with everywhere taking all those safety precautions. However it didn't exactly strike me as paranoia.. In fact I kind of think the government's handling everything pretty well. But then again I guess it's up to individuals to decide if its playing safe or going overboard. Ohwell. We'll never know, will we?
Oh yeah, news just got around that my brother has to go back to Brunei next week because they need him as the safety officer for some live firing exercise that's being conducted there. Thankfully it's just for a few days. But I can't help but feel angry that they keep sending him off.. And this time it's on such a short notification! It's time like this that makes me think that the way things are run in the army is really haphazard.
I'm finding work-free life really.. Well, free. Haha yeah I've got absolutely nothing to do at home! Apart from starting to pack for Australia, but I can't exactly bring myself to. Okay fine actually the main thing is that I don't really know where to start lol. Well actually there's also studying, but my usual procrastinating self is getting the better of me. ): I really hate myself. But anyway, the past two days has seen me finish two library books. I think it's a record. And I think it's a clear indication of how bored I am at home. Ahhh well. I just love Tess Gerritsen's books. (: (:
Sigh, so much to do in so little time. It really sucks to the max that there's mid-years in two week's time for the J2s. Which only leaves me with two measly days after their mid-years end to have farewell stuff. I seriously have no idea how I'm going to manage it all. ):
Nothing really lasts forever, does it?
