the cool breeze turns into summer sweat

So im up early, its the post-holiday syndrome. Let’s see how long it’ll last – me sleeping at no later than 12midnight and waking up before 10am in the morning. :) Im missing the luxury of hotel stays and international buffet breakfast. Most people probably dont like staying in hotels, eating plane meals or hotel breakfasts. But i like all three. On my flight back to Singapore, the dinner meal served was so good. I finished everything on my plate, including the appetizer and dessert (okay i cheated. i only ate half the cake because i was too full). I have to admit i stayed in the hotel room one morning and had instant noodles for breakfast because they only served japanese style breakfast at the onsen hotel which was porridge and fish and other things not worth mentioning.

The weather in Japan was so cold. I underpacked, only bringing my sad thin stockings and flowy dresses because it wasnt expected to be that cold. Thankfully for my sweater and blazer, i survived till i went to buy a nice coat. I forgot how disgustingly hot the weather in sg is until i came back. I did not perspire any bit over there even while eating BBQ and shabu shabu. Sigh, i really miss being on holiday even though morning calls are dreadful but i still get to sleep on bus rides. Holidays are the best things ever.

my breakfast: two sunny side up (cooked on both sides) + salad + sauteed mushrooms + sausage.
and toasted bread not featured here.

also the odd combination of coffee and grapefruit juice.

DFS shopping before even going there which ‘scared’ my dad. LOL. So happy to get my hands on the chanel chance eau tendre. & trying out the dior skin nude foundation + replenishing my clinique stuff.

Drugstore shopping in japan. The pretty holographic pink boxes are eye drops. Most pretty eyedrops i’ve ever seen. :)

I think we spent mostly on food over there and buying tidbits back.

The pile of tidbits on the table.
My favourite are the Kitkats in various cool flavours like sweet potato, cheesecake, honeydew melon, wasabi, green tea!

 

 

till next picture post! xoxo!

Im glad to be in the comfort of home, even though i enjoyed Japan so much. From Disneyland, to the vending machines, to the weather, to the toilet bowl. Yes, even the toilet bowl because it has seat warmer and the butt-washing function. Hahaha. Not to mention the vending machines that sells my favourite Kirin milk tea, and even sells creme brulee coffee. How awesome. Surprisingly, I had more coffee than ever over there. 2 – 3 cup a day just because i wake up at 6.30 japan time which is 5.30 singapore time and sleep almost 80% of the time im on the bus. Although i felt really homesick on the first and second day for no reason (i never get homesick on holidays), probably because of the whole language barrier thing and having packed clothes that cant keep me warm in that weather so i end up shivering and teeth chattering. oh, and on the first day after i touched down, i felt like fainting during lunch due to lack of sleep + coldness. I lost my appetite and barely touched my lunch at all. All thanks to watching Shutter Island on the plane, losing time as a result and having less than 3 hrs of sleep. The point is, Shutter Island was a hell of a crap movie which wasted my time meant for sleeping.

My vaiobaby laptop is not back yet so im using my sis’s macbook for twitter, fb and gmail and wordpress. hahaha. Tomorrow shes gonna have to log in to her own account again for all these sites. oops.

next up: researching places to go for my hongkong trip!

it definitely doesnt feel like im gonna be leaving for japan tonight. the whole feeling is just surreal and i’ve not registered the fact that i’ll be in  a different country in less than 12 hours. just 4 days ago, i completed my last paper for uni and had a blast of a night at zouk with my sweets and the guys who ORD-ed. and just this morning i was out for a good lunch at carousel with the uni people to celebrate our end of exams. met the boy and did some shopping, then sent my vaiobaby for repair. came home to finish packing and booked my flight for hk trip (whch im very excited about!) so glad we didnt have to fly budget in the end.

now ed’s using the com and im feeling sad about leaving him while hes still sick. everythings fast forwarding. can’t believe im gonna leave for the airport in 2 hrs . see u all when im back. wish me safe flight!

mad

all around me are familiar faces,
worn out places, worn out faces
bright and early for their daily races,
going nowhere, going nowhere

their tears are filling up their glasses,
no expression, no expression
hide my head, i wanna drown my sorrows
no tomorrow, no tomorrow

and i find it kind of funny, i find it kind of sad
the dreams in which im dying are the best i’ve ever had
i find it hard to tell you, i find it hard to take
when people run in circles, its a very very
mad world

in transition

Tomorrow’s going to be different, im gonna have my last paper tomorrow. It feels like forever to reach this point yet at the same time, it’s hard to believe that i’ve spent two years in uni. perhaps these two years, i’ve just been a wanderer in life. It makes a great difference to have close friends in school, which is probably why i think uni hasnt made any deep impressions on me yet – except only negative ones. But i do feel a little sad about graduating.  I’ve been a student for as long as i remember and soon, im not gonna be one anymore. And not being a student means…. i will have to pay for every of my own expenses next time (depressing!) and theres no more ‘stay home weekdays’, no more afternoon naps, and no more waking up in the afternoon. It also means… life is getting serious…

Oh well. hope tmr’s paper is gonna be easy and ends on a good note. Im gonna miss studying after this and probably miss megabites food. hahaha!

on a side note, hope that ed is gonna recover soon because he has been puking since last tuesday and even two trips to the clinic and one trip to the hospital doesnt seem to help. :( that poor boy lost so much weight.
