Going back to Singapore was a good break for me. I missed the food, the partying, missed the hustle and bustle of city life, missed my friends and my family the mostest! As thoroughly enjoyable as my trip was, it also reminded me that Singapore is no paradise. I think I've acclimatised to the life here in NZ. People back home walk too fast, drive like maniacs and aren't exactly the friendliest people around. I dread driving in Singapore. I think if you measure my blood pressure before I get in the car and after arriving at my destination, you'll probably be able to detect a significant increase. (The most recent episiode, I had Vatsan in the car with me and let's just say that he probably won't be hopping into any car that I'm driving any time soon.)
So I've decided that since I'm here in New Zealand, and won't be for too long, I should make the most out of it.
Laundry list of likes and quirks in NZ:
- clean clean clean air
- the luxury of getting 8 hours of sleep every day (think about it, when was the last time you managed to squeeze in 8 hours of sleep in a work day.)
- of being able to start a conversation with a stranger on the street and not have someone look at you funny
- healthy living - no nightlife means no partying, no late nights, no excessive alcoholic binges, no hangovers, no ugly mascara-smudged eyes next morning (I can't say I'm ecstatic about this point but I have a funny feeling my mom is thrilled with this.)
- a pack of choco milk a day (too lazy for breakfast and milk is cheap. Again, another point to make my mom oh-so-happy since she's been going on about osteoporosis and whatnots.)
- daylight savings and summer days (I'm really looking forward to daylight savings at the end of September. The days will be longer, and warmer, the sun the sun the sun will be out out out! Ooohh I can't even begin to tell you how much the sun affects my moods. Summers in NZ are glorious days. Way too short, but glorious nonetheless.)
Is it Summer yet?
