Why do birds suddenly appear
Every time you are near?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you.
Why do stars fall down from the sky
Every time you walk by?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you.
On the day that you were born
The angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moon dust in your hair of gold
And starlight in your eyes of blue.

We all have weird routines. Study routine, eating routine, slacking routine. Actually on a second thought they are normal routines. Holidays are a break from routine. Or atleast they are supposed to be. But I seem to find myself in some sort of a holiday routine! Ouch! I am currently staying in a makeshift room! (Thanks Jon). But it’s overwhelming (to a neat freak like me) to have loads of luggage all around me. I literally mean all around me (don’t freak out Jon). The only thing pristine is I think the bed! Thank God for that! So there you go. I wake up everyday – at about 8ish and then laze around a bit! Check my email. Read my book! By lunch I shower! Did I mention I am losing appetite, I really don’t find myself eating much until lunch! Then I walk to the NUH shuttle bus service. Off I go, either to meet Akanksha, Yuehan, Caryln, April! Meeting them is always an opportunity to eat something! Cuz I really cant talk much by the time I reach my destination! Eat, Shop, look around, stone! Hmm that is practically what I do – oopsie not to mention that heaps of garbage with some handful of sense that I talk! Then come back to hall, its really late (sorry ma.. don’t worry its safe here). I am so tired, I can close my eyes while standing. So there off to bed! I am not too sure if just taking things easy like this is good or whether I need more adrenaline in my life! But its been good somehow. I feel completely relaxed. Only the place factor gets me a bit edgy! So ya, some may say – wow that’s very unlike you, some – it is good that you are taking a break, some – perhaps you want to consider taking a holiday! But for me – this is good! Simple life! Ordinary – yeah why not! Simplicity – I feel good =)
