I was getting really bored so I started reading manga other than the usual Naruto and Bleach. I thought One Piece was now too big for me to start following, so I went for the No.4 instead.

Bitter Virgin.

It's a story about how this girl got raped and abused by her stepfather and her mother refused to believe her. She had a baby and aborted it and then had another baby again which was sent for adoption. Then she finally left her family and started being afraid of guys.

And the story starts the Guy meeting the Girl and swearing that he would never fall for the Girl but eventually falling for her. -_-

So I'm now at the part where the Guy finds out that he likes the Girl but doesn't know if the Girl likes him and is afraid to tell her that he likes her because he thinks that it's impossible for them to be together. Hmmmm.

I wonder how the story will end.

You know, I realised I've never really asked myself what I liked. I probably did that a long time ago making a list of likes and dislikes, but most of the time, I was more concerned with observing what others liked or disliked.

So since I've had so much time here, I think it's a good time to consolidate my thoughts and figure out what kind of things I like. That probably sounds weird because people are supposed to know what they like, but hey, I never really did take a step back to look at it. So here's my chance!

Likes.

1) Kayaking. Not really the sprints but the recovery from sprints. I know that I have sucky strokes and I would never ever be near the fastest. It's really the rowing up part that gets to me. Because you can enjoy how the water touches your paddle and how you are just gliding along. Especially after an arduous row, you feel the ultimate sensation of relaxation from just paddling without really thinking with the trees going past. Wahhh.

2) Running. This is quite an unlikely one, considering the sweat it generates and how it makes me pant under my fats =/ But I realised that running can be quite addictive for me, especially because it burns lots and lots of fat! Hahas.. Just kidding! It's more about that feeling of accomplishment after running a certain distance and saying to yourself, "hey, I didn't know I could do that!"

3) Swimming. I've always liked this because just doing the laps allows my mind to wander. Kinda helps in Math too by counting laps. Hahas.. But I haven't really been swimming lately because I'm often too lazy to go to the pool. Hmmm.

4) Reading. Well, it's one of the best ways to pass time if you've got a good book in your hand, like what I have now. It's my 4th book already! Hopefully the stock doesn't run dry before the 22 days are over. Reading really helps too when all you want to do is get away from the people jumping up and down in your face. All I need is a room and a cup of water plus my book to occupy me for hours on end. Bliss!

5) Cycling. I can't say I absolutely love it yet, but I have been slowly modifying my MB to become a faster, lighter bike. Like part road, part trail. Hehs. And it's a good way to get to work. If I could then I would want to go everywhere in a bike. But the bloody trucks in Singapore have no respect for human life. Pfft. I'm looking to changing my seat and adding a small pouch under it. Then I'd be ready to take it somewhere further than Bishan. Hahas.

6) Going out with friends. I was going to say DotA, but I am not as hardcore as all the rest of the clique combined. In fact I probably don't like it much.. What I do like is the times we get to chill out or just go have a game or two. The bar sessions are quite fun too. Yeah. Pretty much any time out with friends is pretty good time.

7) Talking. I realised that I get to sort things out better when I start talking. It's almost like I can't really think without talking. Hmm.. But as people would know, I generally am not someone who talks a lot. I wonder why...

Dislikes.

Hmmm.. I can't think of anything specific actually. Individual people, yes, but no traits or things to speak of. Pickles, perhaps?

Well, I think that's that. Gee. That makes my life kinda 2 dimensional doesn't it? Oh wells. I guess that's just me. =P

I am resorting to sleeping in the day to pass the time. From past experience, this means that things are starting to go downhill. I normally only sleep when I get those super depressing "I don't want to talk to anyone" moods. And I guess I am getting there too..

The "big hoohah" has sort of died down and we are back to normal boring life again. I know it's sadistic, but at least it did something to help me occupy my time. I can't believe there's still 4 weeks left after so long!!

The first thing I want to do when I get back to Singapore go out with my friends!!!! =///

Just gotta hang in there and in a moment's time everything will be over. I think there can't be more drama than what happened here this past few days. I really have to be careful what I wish for next time.....

31.

Sipping Jim Bean Coke and accumulating my ORD hair while I am here. This was a particularly eventless day with no one asking for stores. Haix. The long road ahead seems dreary and dusty. When can I see my beloved homeland once more?!

Right now I fully appreciate what it really means to be homesick. It's not really that you are consciously thinking of home, just that home is so many times more attractive than a foreign country where everything is so strange and unfamiliar. I oft have to fake an accent just to get my desired subway. It's so much easier back in Singapore where people can actually get Singlish. Wah.. I so appreciate our manner of speech now. =/

Anyways, I finally got myself a utility knife and I am wondering what I can do with it. It just seemed cool at the time. Hahas.. Well, I'm sure I'd find use for it.

Bought myself a new book that was touted "John Grisham, step aside". Hopefully it lives up to the hype! Hopefully it lasts more than 3 days too. Argh.

I think it's about time I started calling people. Feeling super isolated from everyone because I don't really have any lines of communication with anyone outside of this prison. And Facebook is just a poor substitution for humans. The time gap between here and Singapore is really irritating though. Take for example now. I'm starting to get quite tired because of the weather here, but it's only 5 p.m. in Singapore. That means that no one is online and everyone is just starting to pack up from work. By the time it is 7 p.m., it would have been too late and I would either be watching a late night movie in the mess, or I would be knocked out in my tent. Bleh. So be understanding and flood my Wall and tagboard eh? Hahas..

Oh, and did I mention that my hair is growing absurdly long? A hair cut here costs $16. And that's just the barber. Imagine if I wanted to get a stylist.. Perhaps I can keep this hair all the way until August next year and scare everyone. Hahahahs.

Alright. I should go. You take care and I love you! Haixxxx.
