Homebound

19th January 2007 ?>

Before I pack this laptop into the common, reliable, convenient, but very ugly bag, maybe it’s appropriate for me to say a few words.

This semester has seen me through quite a bit, but I can only pat myself on the back if I can get through semesters with bears and squirrels — especially squirrels — while wearing a smile on my face. You probably won’t be able to understand what it is I’m saying because I try not to bitch here.

I will be having a more insightful site in time to come. And may life imitate art.

Thank you all who have expressed concern, and who still want to bond with me despite my long periods of absence. I’m sorry I couldn’t be there when all those things happened to you.

I thank my initiative friend who always makes extra effort to gather all of us, so how can I say no? Clarke Quay…hmmm, maybe I’ll ask the person who has a very unique name that comprises of a bear and a Flintstone whether she would like to meet up first like the previous time, but this time we must remember not to eat McDonalds before the meet-up. Hmm, but I won’t agree to anything Chinese too. So. I guess Moroccan sounds real good for ALL of us since it’s non-somewhere-one-of-us-has-been-in-for-months-and-is-sick-of-the-food. Although I think only drinks are involved.

Eh. Actually it didn’t occur to me that I’ll be home this soon. I didn’t give it much thought. And the idea of starting work on Monday makes home unappealing. But as the faces of my friends get a little clearer, I am starting to look forward to prata nights, crab evenings, dessert all-day, laksa, bak chor mee, chicken rice, wanton mee, horfun, char kway teow, fried black carrot cake, yong tau foo, morning fried bee hoon, curry puff, squid head fritters, fried kangkong, my dad’s cod fish, my mom’s sushi…and somebody’s pillows.

Cars will suddenly stop for me (hail Squareface!), no car horns as my alarm clock, and… everything will be so expensive.

Haha, I’ll see you all real soon!
