back at one.
friday night was so good.
:) been a loooong while since clubbing has been that good.
then again. with that amount of alcohol. *grin*
granted. alittle puking. alot of headache the next morning.
but all worth it i say. :)
more.more.more.
disclaimer: 1) a certain ex-pjcian who was there said "she siao ah!!" to a friend the next day, when referring to the amount of drinks i had. my question. why he so kay poh.
2) a friend's friend, remarked that i drink in a "very erotic manner". wtf?!
why he also so kay poh. & a bit bian tai.
3) apparently friend's friends were also taking note of when i went to the loo to dispell system of alcohol. HUH?? i sure did not make announcement. &. were they that bored that night?! again - HUH?!
came home tonight, (after getting ripped off by cabby. i get the worst ones i tell you.)
to a familiar place that i feel i have earned the right to call "my home".
my very own. where i noe about everything.
& only i noe. where i handle everything.
where i've settled into a routine of turning on main switches.
checking certain things everything i come back.
even where i place my luggage to unpack is fixed.
in what order i unpack. which piece of luggage first.
all that i noe so well already.
when the plane took off today,
i didn't have the usual nagging feeling i usually get
when i watch the buildings of singapore
slowly disappear from under the airplane's wings.
usually the last glimpse i get of the buildings,
my eyes get blurry.
maybe im ready to call melbourne home.
cravings so far:
cold storage roast chicken.
sashimi.
home cooked soup
-bawls-
my fridge is empty now except for red bull.
am sooo hungry.

water under the bridge
i have a week left (perhaps more if timetable is agreeable)
but suddenly i have so many things to do.
*head splits*
it doesn't feel like i've been back for 3mths.
altho, i Have totally gotten used to weather and surroundings. AND people.
it's starting to feel like i never left some 4 yrs ago.
wow. has it been that long?
i dun wanna face up to the realization that im gonna have to leave melbourne for good, soon.
ive only recently learnt to fully appreciate shuttling to and fro 2 places.
it never feels like, im actually living somewhere.
more like im always on holiday at one place or another.
that's how it's been these 4 yrs.
and i have to say.
IT'S BEEN GOOD.
what if i come back in like, 4 mths and realize i don't like singapore that much afterall?
i mean. the people (fine, only my friends & family) are great. love em to bits.
taxis are Cheap. (1/2 the cabbies are psycho. 1/4 rude. & the rest, Lost.)
food's good.
but living here for the rest of my life?
i dunno if i can do that.
and starting to work here, full time?! (i guess working at all is bad.)
*concuss*
*slinks back into little corner i've named 'Denial'*

for you
you can scrub your hands,
till the skin splits and tears.
yes, they'll heal
but we know how chapped they'll feel.
dollops of la mer and kiehl's
won't make them soft still.
the scars will be forever
to be your personal reminder.
of how you should've been gentler,
cause your hands are tender.
the damn spot you wanto remove
is in your head. not the surface.
so don't drive yourself nuts,
trapped in every 'maybe', 'if' or 'but'.

extra extra
OH!! & i forgot to add!!
being so caught up with work & etc things going on,
i completely forgot to pay rent for apartment in melbourne!!
*bangs head against wall*
have gotten eviction notice..(omg. how embarassing right.)
even tho i called the stupid-no good-incompetent property agent
to tell her on friday that transfer will only be complete middle of this week!!!!!
arrrgghhh.
dammit dammit dammit.
worst part of getting evicted is moving and packing stuff.
i mean, it's almost impossible to find packers in melbourne.
i cannot emphasize enough how
much i do not like (trying to refrain from using 'hate')
moving.
*curse & swear*

yes jo ;)
i knew there was a reason why i had sucha strong urge to take half the day off today.
& it was well worth it. :) interesting but not fabulous tiramisu.
& a good movie, even tho it was for a
completely (kindda) different reason from jacq & angel's "i love woody allen films"
:)
on the way back, the cabby said something that was kindda weird.
"if you ask me to u-turn u must have reason one
so i also won't ask you why."
maybe i was reading into it, and trying to make it applicable to my life.
i wondered if he applied it to every facet of his life
maybe i should do the same.
in any case, what kindda cabby says this kindda thing??
he's supposed to tell me off for making
him swerve across 3 lanes and asking him to make an illegal u-turn
at the last minute..
& why do we have this innate and seemingly
insatiable need to conquer all??
why do we have the need to continually affirmthat
what we want we get?
abit arrogant huh..
& when does this end?
i noe you've been extra patient and understanding.
& it's jus so i'll be happy, even at your expense.
cause you always said you'll "do anything that makes me happy"
& you won't even ask why.
