Malaysia

Things I need to talk about:
-YEP: Dunmania
-Bus hopping arnd Changi w Weiqi
-Tamp > Katong i12 > Vivo w Jieying
-PEAs: Go!SH, bowling, hcl lessons
-4K dinner & Shermaine's house

Ok that's not a lot.............right

Started learning French awhile ago aft eoys and my progress has been zero since then.
I can say this though: Je mange une pomme. (I eat an apple.)
That's about all that I know LOL

(If you interested I use http://duolingo.com - there's French, German and Spanish)

Went to visit my grandparents' house in Malaysia today, and only then did I realize how much I miss that place!!! Haven't been there for more than 1 year and the sense of familiarity is overwhelming. So many things have changed - new buildings etc, even the old shophouses are painted a shade of  blue now. I also have a new baby cousin and my grandparents' house has wifi too. In fact, I feel like I'm looking at the same place with a different set of eyes, kinda like how people discover new things when they read a book the second time (I rarely do actually)?? Or it could just be absence that's making the heart grow fonder.

Life is much more laid-back and relaxed there (I'm talking about Tangkak btw not like KL or sth) and I kinda envy their lifestyle. It's also surprising how they have embraced technology much more than my parents did, like for instance the use of smartphones and touch screen tablets. Technology is really amazing isn't it. It's like watching the content we study in LA (sci & tech) come to life and truly improving lives, facilitating communication etc.

Siannn I originally had a lot to say but after that long car ride with that not-quite-awful traffic jam on the way home all my thoughts evaporated into nothing hahaha

I'm currently reading The Wind-up Bird Chronicle by Haruki Murakami....
Lol ok I just went to google him coz I thought his name sounded too nice to be real but turns out it is and I also found out how his signature looks like:

I guess it takes such a strange individual to come up with such bizarre ideas like in his books haha

Just read a lot of reviews and I'm motivated to continue reading ahhhhh :>>>>>>
