I am looking forward to going back to Singapore during the holidays. No matter how much I say I don't want the school year to end, I'm actually getting excited thinking about going home too. Being back in Singapore means being back in the comfort zone, where you don't have to speak with an accent in case people don't understand you (and worry about being fake), or speak without an accent and worry that people can't understand you. And it means no school work! ;D It's my top reason la. I am so looking forward to it.
It's also going to be a comfort zone where you know everything's reasonably affordable, and don't have to think twice before buying something. Finally... I think I'll go crazy buying CDs, scores, books, clothes, watching movies, and a thousand more things. Of course I'll probably have to find someone reliable to rein me in... it's ok, I still have some time to calm down before I break loose in Singapore!
This morning I was walking to school in fantastic sunshine and I caught myself daydreaming about what I'd do in Singapore. Like wear sandals, slippers, and stuff like that... cos I'll probably be taking the MRT/bus so I won't need to wear super comfy shoes to walk around. And it wouldn't be so cold (or rather, it would be too hot) so I could loose all the bulky clothing. And I wouldn't be carrying books around. It means getting to use a washing machine. It means not waking up shivering and huddling under the blanket every morning. It means... hmm so many things! I think I'm going mad right now.
I can think of so many places I want to visit, so many things I want to do. Oh, and the food, how could I have forgotten the food! I'll definitely have to go to the beach. I miss the sun and the sea! No matter that I'm not a very sporty person, or that the beaches in Singapore are not pretty/clean/pleasant. It's just a compulsion I get after being here in the cold wind and under grey skies. Eurgh. I think I shall find a day to spend at the beach, from sunrise to sunset. That would be nice. =)
I'm going to have to start planning after the exams. I'm so sure I wouldn't have time to do everything I want to otherwise. But first, I must probably look for a job. Too bad, daydreams just don't fit into reality all the time huh. It's ok, I just know it's going to be alright. I'm going to use every single minute that I'm not sleeping doing something productive. No more slacking! =P As if... if holidays are not for slacking, then I dunno what is. But whatever, I meant no slacking as in, I better make better use of my time during the holidays.
For now, back to mundane life I guess... heh back to doing my Schubert lied. Was supposed to try and finish my work tonight cos the chamber choir concert's tomorrow night. Ahhh... it's the essay-around-the-corner worries getting to me again. Which was why I just needed to stop for a moment, block out everything and immerse myself in a beautiful daydream. =) Soon soon... it's already March!
