hullo duck.
so this is the first post of the year.
yea so i went to india which is surprising in itself that it came as a huge surprise to alot of ppl. i got alot of reactions ranging from "oh my god. YOU are gg india." to "oh wow. so you're finally gg!"
and then when i reveal that i have been to india before its still surprising to see the reactions i get. just infer from above.
so india in a nutshell is
still the way it is 6 years ago.
and i got killer shoes.
and then there is bangkok.
which, forgive my lack of (more) thought in the following statement,
is a very livable place. its got nice places to shop, live, and die(yep. i mean the hospitals)
and that's exactly what i want out of an ideal city. having said that, i probably dont really know what i want since i havent seen much of anything else the world has to offer. maybe i'll change my mind if i end up on a vineyard in Provence.
on a similiar note, i cannot imagine staying anywhere else from where i stay in in singapore. i recognise that this prolly comes off as, uh, paris-hiltonish. but i really. i cannot.
and the thought that i might have to move sometime soon is just unsettling. i have tried imagining living somewhere else in singapore and the only place that i didnt find mentally revolting is East Coast cos there;s the beach and nice places to eat. but, since my brain works in a very linkish kind of way, i link east coast to vjc. 'nuff said.
but the possiibility of moving seems to be rearing its ugly head once in a few conversations i have with my father.
for the following reasons:
1. he (surprise!) never really liked River Valley area- the place he's been living with ALL HIS LIFE
2. he is bored of the area
3. he wouldnt need to live in an area near the CBD if he isnt gg to work in the CBD, eventually.
4. "wouldnt living near the beach be fun? you can go running there everyday." (that man uses guilt trips when all things fail)
i know. things are much worse. ppl dont have decent sheds over their heads and the country that i visited recently certainly doesnt have a dearth of those examples. but. i dont care. as far as i am concerned. there are ppl with no roofs. and there are those with gold roofs. i just want a district 9 roof.
ok. seriously.
i just dont want to move out of my comfort zone. its got nothing to do wit district 9. i think i would have the same sentiments if it were district 59.
honestly, the whole comfort zone thing is the crux of it all. really!
