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.

I think if I were a kid, I would have taken “grounded” punishments rather well! I’ve been home for a week and a half or quarter perhaps and I don’t feel the need to hang out with my friends or go out! I am happy being at home doing something or the other! I felt that this is rather novice, but after having read unblogged aka censored messages, I realized I do that every holiday. I have a a never ending list of “to meet”, “to call”, “to msg” people but I never get around to doing it unless I am given a certain push. And if the push doesn’t come, I don’t think I will land up doing it! Strange right? Oh well that’s meet. Some call me a social butterfly but I am ahmm I don’t know I cant find a word. Perhaps to steal it from Siva, a social caterpillar!

I have a strong affinity for these kind of sports. Badminton, Tennis, Squash! I’ve liked them all. And recently its been Golf! Yup, after months of being talked into, my parents finally succeeded in making my join this sport! And I must say it’s a sport. Not a game for the retired! Well its been three lessons now and oh boy, its fun! Though its got my blisters on my palm (too bad I cant hold your hand – To my mom.. haha what were you thinking). The clubs are quite heavy and the posture is tiresome. But when you swing and the ball lift off the tee and travels a prefect intended trajectory – it’s the best feeling! I feel I am actually getting my physics right though I cant really understand how holding a club in a non square position causes it to deviate through a certain angle. And I don’t want to know! I am happy making sure I hit the ball hard! Yay – I am going to buy a nice cap to wear! I felt like such a kid wearing shorts when people actually dress up for this sport! Oh but what the hell – its so so so hot!

First was the consecutive visit to east coast and now consecutive visit to Clarke Quay! Not that I fancy the two places or don’t get enough of it! But ah well just a pattern I observed! Went for the ACJC play ‘Tempest” at Singapore Repertoire Theatre on Friday with Yuehan and his friend! It was a joy watching the juniors deliver a brilliant performance. At the same time it made me miss all those endless and tiring rehearsals that brought a strange kind of satisfaction! We walked rather aimlessly to discover that we’ve reached the heart of nightlife area – Clarke Quay – it is really bustling with party lights, glitz and glam façade people so easily take on! But I was with Yuehan, hence still the quietness of the evening. It was sufficient for us to eat an ice cream and walk by the dazzle of evening content with just admiring it! Oh well – suit yourself. That is what I once told him. So I guess I had to support his anti clubbing sentiments this time around! I had a farewell dinner (I didn’t intend it to be one). Brenda and I, after faithfully having dwelled in the library everyday has decided to treat ourselves to a great dinner after exams. To execute the plan before I leave for India, I msged people to meet at Boat Quay, saying something like! Hey guys – I am leaving for India. It’ll be great if all of us could meet for dinner today! at blah blah.. And surprisingly people took as farewell! I’ve had so many farewell from both parties – Indian and Singaporean that I’ve almost lost count! Oh well we walked to Clarke Quay then and seated ourselves at Haggen Das! Sinfully Stimulating! Christine, Brenda and myself settled for something made of apple I am not too sure what – but it was a delight! Raymond and David had Venetian love for themselves – they looked rather deprived, hence the love! And of course we had some brookback mountain scenes! I think they were overflowing with the love after the chocolate high! Thank you my beloved KE7 medics for the delightful evening! Hope I can stay next year – keeping my fingers crossed!

Seems rather strange that after not having been to the beach for 6 months I land up going there on two consecutive days! I’ve taken a strange liking to the east coast though I still maintain my stand about east being rather unhappening – no offense easters!
Well on Thursday Kenrick, Siva, Dedrick, Joel and I went to bowl at east coast! Being the only girl among the pro bowlers, I had a rather difficult start but nonetheless it was rather invigourating! I got my first spare but wasted it with a nil pin in the next round! Sigh – I was just thinking – how wonderful it will be to go bowling on a weekly basis! It is a fantastic stress buster! After bowling we decided to indulge in some good food at city hall! Authentic Indian food! Ill award it ***! And free sweets! Haha! Ask me to write a review about the movie Keeping Mum – Ill sum it up in one word! SLOW! I don’t know why we decided to watch it but oh well it ended on a rather high note with the a few glamour shots – courtesy 1/5th Dr. Kenrick Tham!
The following day landed up being another beach day – thought the previous was not really beaching out (it was just a brief wait for Kenrick and Dedrick)! Cycle with the girls! The 7 power puff girls! Daryl, Zhi Min, Nita, Sau Yee, Velda – me making a guest appearance in their popular undertakings – this time being teaching Zhi Min how to ride a bike! Two hours of cycling, sugarcane juice, monkey business – nah no what u think – this one was really climbing trees, sitting by the break waters! It was a pleasant start to the day! I really admire the inordinate amount of chirpiness and zest these RJ girls possess – kudos to the power puff girls!

A week ago - I was taking my exams at this hour! A week ago I felt hassled, tired, grogy, homesick. A week hence from Anat paper - I am all packed to go home! The room resonates - emptiness! A year has past by - I mean academic year! And I know not how and when did it just whoosh pass! Oh well I am glad this sem was much much better that the previous - though I didnt start on a good note atleast it was a happy ending I'd say - considering I dont get any vivas! Exams are good I think. They give you a sense of completion! And a reason the enjoy and sweat it out post exams! Going home always gives me butterflies in the stomach! THe anxiety arises out of not knowing if I'd be able to switch back to the routine of home, missing my friends here and the excitment arises out of the sheer joy of meeting loved ones!? Nostaligia - early morning, stomach's well fed, its cold and raining - so much food for thought! But I gotta go catch up with miss wee wee...
