a Journey

The best way to get over coming home blues is to play tour guide and semi-tourist. Thanks to my friend from exchange, I've been able to continue with my lifestyle of play LOTS-going to school-giving tuition-play AGAIN, which is somewhat similar to what I enjoyed in Melbourne. :)

I like the idea that there's something to look forward to beyond classes. The wonderful twirling fact that life is more than just a daily routine: that there are free days for reasons like going to the beach, feasting, shopping and just yakking away with magazines sprawled around you. It's days like this which bring smiles and remind me that life is so much more than just competitiveness and measurable results. :)

Life is so multi-faceted, and I'm just really glad that it took someone from outside Catapult Island to remind me of this fact, once again. I guess He realised how bummed I was from coming back, away from Fs. co.

Anyway, I never realised this, but the best way to gain an insight into the lifestyle of the place you're visiting is to go to the 7-11s there! And when I think back, I realise that those that I've visted in Aussie, Malaysia and England did have their own unique quirky "instant" food dispensers and other local specialties. Like "instant" vindaloo curry (?!); chocolate-cappucino; ayam pedas... Mmm. :)
