<--I like the symbol!!!
greek as in the country.. I must have more conversational starters tshirts. Should have made the radiohead one in singapore. Then again, the weather is turning cold and I'm already wearing a jacket out at night.
I'm having fun at times. Like when I'm talking to hot chicks. Or when 3 guys decided to buy walkie talkies so that they don't have to waste money on handphones. Or when I'm walking through a gorge or learning how to dance hip hop. But if I'm left alone for more than an hour, I start feeling lonely. Ok, I really want to be a bad boy but I think I'll be drowned in work. My fellow countrymen are like talking about GPAs and doing co ops and how we're all going to stanford for masters. I'm like how stressed. I even bought the wrong textbook. Gonna return it tomorrow. Anyway, there's an asian frat party next week. And it's after my birthday so I can drink legally! I'm not entirely sure if there's alcohol even cuz it's supposed to be a fondue party. So.

Shit.. now i know why college people never blog. My schedule looks crazily packed. Right now, I'm losing out on the socialising stakes because I don't know how to play poker. Yet.

So far,
I've been walked in by a girl in my unisex toilet.
Took a wrong bus and ended up in a mall instead of the hall.
I'm loving millie's hellas shirt. Three times I got asked whether I'm greek.
Dining is heaven here. It's buffet every time at the dining halls. I'll never be able to try everything. There are 13 types of cereals for breakfast.
I'm gonna die on my 21st birthday.
Still haven't attended any frat party.
Sat through the most boring book discussion and did not participate.
Fantastic? Uh uh.

If I were to capture this moment in words, this moment slightly more than 24 hours to going to the airport, it would go something like this.

If the girls can do it, so can I. HA.
I think my roommate is a jock.
Why is my luggage so heavy for no good reason?
I don't know whether I'm sad or excited. I just hope I don't have to repeat my sentences too often for people to understand me.
Can't believe there are people planning to stay at the airport from 11pm to 5am for people to see them off.
This is no poetic goodbye.

ok. I'll update you when sufficient exciting bang-whoom-pa! experiences happen to me.. hopefully soon. Those in singapore, see you next year!

..UNENTHUSIASTIC
I must have said it before- a couple of late nights can tip the balance completely. For instance, I woke up at 6am today. If only I could do that every day then maybe I can go all the way to RJ to play basketball. Right. There's no way I can get up early without my parents. They had ingeniously effective ways of getting me out of the bed, like telling me it's 730 when I later find out that it's clearly still 7am, or saying that they missed the alarm and as a result we are all late.. Of course, after many times, such boy-call-wolf tactics don't quite work anymore.

For the curious, yeah, I've started packing. But I'm faced with more pressing problems. Like
a) My palms have been sweating like crazy. I can't even hold anything anymore. Perhaps the body is over excited. Late at night I lathered my hands with soap and willed all the sweat out of my hands and still it would not stop and now the soles of my feet are also wet.

b) I feel like tearing my face out. The only decent photos I take are ones where I'm facing the camera straight. Other angles just look like crap. Don't know why I bought a new camera. But I'm glad I'm not maddox. That kid has angelina jolie for mum and calls brad pitt daddy and he does not share any of their genes? That is unfortunate. That is twisted.

c) Did anyone watch sideways? How come I don't find it funny at all? And it's the best comedy of last year? Bull shit. Harold and Kumar was the best comedy of last year.

d) I got something which recreates the mac dock in windows. It has that magnifying effect and looks as good as the real one. I also have those cool widgets in the background. I'm a geek!! But not geek enough to replace all the icons with the mac ones.

<--Last attempt at reliving the "yuppie/young single and loaded" days of 2003. If the dim sum dollies are on next year, we'll be there!
