five airport terminals in twenty seven hours
i probably took the longest route to get here, but well at least i had a comfortable seat a good part of the journey. a lot of pre-flight and en route drama, almost couldn't get onto my flight cos of subload conditions and then it was a 800m dash to my gate. and over at LAX, AA couldn't find my ticket booking and i was like so damn tired already. amazing race much? thank goodness i have the head to deal with such things and still got here in the end.
it's awesome here. the apartment, the school, the weather, the people. except that it's fucking dusty i don't know where all this dust comes from and it irks me like crazy, doesn't help that i have so much black clothing. and it's pretty difficult to get around without a car here and to be honest there's not much to do here really. but well i think school and partying will keep me occupied enough. cops busted our party last night cos someone probably called to complain about the noise. it was quite amusing though cos they were exactly like the cops you see on like umm 'COPS' with the light blue shirts, shiny badges and big ass torchlights they shine in your face. but well it's not like we haven't had noise complaints and police moving in on us back in singapore, and it wasn't even a party HAHA i won't mention any names.
doesn't feel too far from home. managed to pick up some stuff at the asian grocery and i'm well stocked with essentials like oyster sauce, soba and random jap condiments i always eat without knowing what they're called. and apparently many fighter jets are manufactured here so i hear a lot of them when they go on test routes over my place, reminds me of the brother definitely. and like just using stuff like my hairdryer and organiser blahblah reminds me of my friends. see, practical gifts always work no flowers and pretty things for meee. but well yeah i still miss lots of people, even though there's like msn and facebook and skype and whatever it's not the same being there at the same table talking cock and laughing about super old stupid memories. ah well four months will pass very quickly! i think i'll be back on christmas day so yes i will make it for that hellokitty party HAHA.
i am really, really missing my awesome speakers back home. if i wanna listen to anything here i've to do it through my earphones because my laptop speakers are hopeless. fucking fujitsu never again but yes don't conk out on me nowwww you have served me well for three years i still love you please keep functioning. and my essential choya stash in my room. i need some choya badly.
aight there'd be a million things to list if i started listing everything that i miss so it ends here. love.

random non-fiction
--unravel; bjork
i'm flying in less than a week. on some days i'm so reluctant to go, on others i wish i'm staying there for as long as i live. and on days like today, i just wish i had a little more time to spend at home before flying. i've hardly spent any time with the mum and the dad because of work. hardly have had any time for myself either, but i guess i'll have more than enough me time there. and as usual i suck at packing, and i'm trying to plan my finances for the next 4 months and making sure i've settled everything that needs to be settled back here.
4 months is short enough, but so much can change in the span of a few months. time waits for no one, i should know. but i think this is the one crazy thing i've been needing for a long time coming, and i will revel in it. and then i'll come home to be the same person, to live out the same mundane life.
--
would it be selfish of me to want it at this point in time? i think it would be, and i could never be that self-serving. and so i'd have to let it go, let it go. and you'll never have to know.
