one day, before i die, i will up and travel all round the world.
rollerblading is awesome. even though going out without any guards at all is highly inadvisable. little bruises and flying muffins at bishan park, thanks to crazy slopes and rumbly paths. bottles of water and wallets flying between eugene, joel and i at ecp, and a medium-speed collision with a bicycle-- became a handlebar ornament for a while. haha.
supper, supper, supper. geylang fun, thomson prata, bukit timah naan, the chomp chomp cats (and hon's muffled screams), changi village and the driveby bapok prostitutes, and bedok bak chor mee (which was freaking delicious. which is high praise coming from someone who hates the pig in all its cooked incarnations.). not to forget themad cycling in between. thanks to the thomson gang (?)/ rasaysletsgooutandeat gang. you guys rock.
nightcycling was highly edifying. firstly, that middlefingers are bad things, bad. stupid bloody mad indian man, who slowed his lorry and shouted obscenities through the window. he slowed down right in the middle of a road and cut in fron of me to yell at me and made the entire row of us brake violently. almost caused a bloody accident, the shit. and once he slowed down, the best he could do was roll down the window and call me bitch. bloody wuss. he started it first by sounding the horn at the 7 of us minding our own business on the road, the little black bastard. anyway after that minor incident nightcycling went well. except for that highly-creepy moment when i looked into the commando camp and saw someone at the window, staring right back at me... you have no idea how fast i cycled after that. secondly, that rats can run bloody fast. had no idea those buggers could move that quickly. almost outpaced me on my bike going downhill. thirdly, that i am extremely unfit. my quads feel like theyre being immersed in vinegar right now. bah.
diving potentially-ruined by the arrival of "black triangle" (l. ang's slang is totally out of point.) but i shall soldier on! the trip cost me 370 bucks, i better bloody well (no pun intended) enjoy it. boohoo. the trip, is looking up for the guys though. 12 girls going with us as well.. zhenjin was mighty happy. hoho. unfortumately (hmm how do i put this nicely) they aren't exactly the brightest crayons in the box. could hear the dive instructor scolding them (if you can't bob in the pool, i'm not letting you go diving! pay attention!). hopefully none of them die during the trip. spoil my bloody holiday.

in the depth of winter i finally learned that there was in me an invincible summer.

to be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best night and day to make you like everybody else means to fight the hardest battle any human being can fight and never stop fighting.
