Life

I'm still trying to figure out how I feel about the transition back here, like how mei has moved over from the mainstream music bandwagon to All Time Low, Tonight Alive and Issues (I've taught my baby sister well), the sudden loss of privilege to roam around my room unclothed, and of course, the absence of my favourite half roasted chicken with pilau rice from Curry Mile. I thought I'd be packed to the brim here, but nope... I'm just gonna slowly stroll through the time I have here :-)

i. Malacca over a weekend with the family, for a durian buffet, of course.


ii. Time off with my favourite sidekick - the only one who's always up for a game of bball or a short cycling sesh. I'm not gonna deny, I sulked and whined a lot in the first few weeks of being a military gf, but things always get better with you, my gallant soldier.


iii. Trying new things. Over July, Sha invited us for a day trip to Batam to learn how to cable-skii / wakeboard and I've gotta say it was tougher than expected. Kinda grew phobic of the sport after suffering several abrasion wounds on my thighs from the kneeboard straps :-( But I felt like the King of the world on that board going against the current, for a few seconds... I also wanted to try something new for my hair and I went for purple but it barely lasted a week before it faded into a burgundy-brown. And of course, new artsy experiments to work on my techniques. 


I've also been taking daily driving lessons since I've been back and let's just say I'm a very lucky girl to have passed on my first attempt for manual!! "One shot one kill, no luck all skills." Hehehe J taught me that. 

iv. Catching up with old friends. Things change eventually, but I'm glad some don't :-)
