freedom never taste any sweeter

Staring at blank space without having to pull urself back to reality is actually quite sieok. Sleeping until ur eyes refuse to shut rocks too. I guess this is the feeling one get when suddenly all options of how to spend the day turn green. But the thing is that, this type of life style is not gonna last very long. 3 weeks at the most. Early jan my feet will be touching the cold grounds of Shanghai, and its gonna be my home for the next six month. The reality is starting to set in, along with the pain of the vacinations I took, the long bus trips I have endured to get the paperwork done. I guess no one is gonna feel comfortable about uncertainty, including me. I guess I just have to embrace this experience with an open heart, be it good or bad.

On my way to taking x-ray at the medical center, I was rather shock when one lady was asked to get off the bus when she had no coins. She enter the bus and tried to tap her card. But suay suay the card no money and the stupid machine produce that loud beep causing everyone's attention to be shifted on the lady. Then she proceed to the nearest seat and try to find coins. This type of situation if you are the driver you should close one eye mah. The lady also not purposely trying to smoke her way through. But then the driver stop at the next bus stop, came out of his driver seat, and personally ask the lady to get off. What an assholic man.

BBQ: grill, iron framework for cooking an animal whole; (outdoor) social occasion at which meat cooked over a charcoal fire is eaten. My friends and I add one too. But our bbq is the same as the latter defination. The venue was at my hostel. Almost all food you place on the fire, they will surely turn out nice. That is if its not burned. Some good example include steak, prawns, sotong, and not forgetting the usual chicken wings. After everything go inside the stomach then wack the alcohol gao gao. sieok.

During weekdays, there are not many night spots around. Most of the time me and my friend will drive around aimlessly looking for edible stuffs to eat during the wee hours of the nite. Usually we ended up eating plata and more plata. But if anyone with car and going to eat at nus cheese plata shop, you might want to try driving at the bends near kent ridge park. It can give you a rather good experience of driving on the roads in initial d. After you reach the top of the park, still can feast your eyes on the view. Not too bad I must say.

One is happiest when one is doing the things he/she likes. But most of the time is spent trying to get to that stage and the process is a long and shitty one. Well i guess thats life. Some people no need to try already there, some people try whole life but never reach there. I am still in the process. All those people who are also in the process, one sentence - "Sometimes things happen that are just out of your control."
