Day 1 - Rendezvous

As you study overseas, you get to 'lose' yourself and rediscover a new identity afterwards. The new people you meet, the different jokes, smiles, pet peeves, and even tears would rock and dazzle whatever you have deep inside. Of course, it is foolish to cling on so much onto your haven, to your past. Embrace the change, or so they say. But yeah, imagine waking up and looking at a WAAAAY different figure on the mirror. And this is the freakin' feeling I get for the past few months in Raffles.

Anyway, one of the things you do to reminiscence your old figure is to talk to an old friend. The friend who knows you well, and in my case, who went to the same junior high school in Indonesia. Well, I've had limited options: only the four of us are stuck in Singapore, and this guy is completing his IB course in less than two months. :'(

He radiates of a professor, yet yields an adventurous spirit. I think it is common practice for us to at least talk about our studies (we usually compare A Levels and IB) and our future.. He is so wise and proper - like the guy who everyone knows will top the school and be the model student. However, he is precisely the same guy (and the first one ever) who told me to go for a girl (who has a boyfriend!) and worry less for the future!

Shall heed to his advice! >:)

Anyway, thank you so much, Peter :) It's been a blast hanging out with you. I'm thankful that we were in the same bus, and although you'll alight sooner than me, hope we can take the same bus again in the future :')

On a side note, we ate awesome Indonesian chicken noodles as our dinner at JTown, a restaurant opposite Somerset 313! Too bad they refunded our Martabak (a delish indonesian pancake!) as they claimed that the pancake didn't expand properly. Till next time, then >:)

Forever yours truly,
