last night i was cracking my head to recall my first concrete memory (clearly i have a lot of free time on my hands) and i can still remember rather vividly my trip to perth when i was 4, on an airplane (qantas, to be exact), sitting next to my grandma. funny i can only remember the flight there and not the trip itself. hmm. anyway. there was a very nice airsteward who gave me crayons and a colouring book among other goodies for kids. i also remember a miniature lego set. gosh, who didnt love lego! there was also a tiny block of cheese which i nibbled into slowly, and that instantaneously kicked off my love affair with cheese.
16 years down the road and i no longer get free crayons and colouring books on planes, i dont quite care about lego anymore, qantas is on the verge of going/has gone bankrupt and my brother says that i should be ashamed of calling myself a cheese lover if the only types of cheese i eat are cheddar, mozzarella, parmesan, ricotta, cream and cottage cheese. i hate cheese from sources other than the cow, and i especially cannot stand blue cheese. uekkk.
why cant i still be 4 where i could colour outside the lines and not give a damn, create things with lego without being anal about how they must be built symmetrically like how i am when i play the sims now (i get really frustrated if the rooms i build have uneven number of squares per line), still receive free exciting goodies on flights, and still be able to proudly tell people that i am an avid cheese lover without anyone bursting my bubble and telling me that i, in fact, am not.
pfft. life is complicated.
you know what's not good? complacency. and excessive comfort. NOT GOOD.
because i have reluctantly begun whatever preparations for the next phase of my life and i am already complaining. like visa application and banking and searching for accommodation and all that shit. it's not easy, people. especially when you have 'better' things to do like sleep and watch tv. actually i dont quite mind going to the bank. especially when you're with hsbc premier! heeeheeeheeeee. only cos i like the coffee. maybank private banking gives you 3-in-1 nescafe. and YOU HAVE TO MAKE IT YOURSELF. what is this.
things to do next week:
1) xray wisdom tooth. fuckit.
2) take ginger to the vet to remove stitches. my doggie has been spayed!
3) go imu take graduation cert
4) go old vista apartment take things (lol yes i still have stuff in that apartment. so terrible la me)
5) settle whatever visa stuff and go do visa
6) meet up with a certain someone (dunno can reveal her name yet or not. since got some surprise thing. so susah. but you know who you are la, right?)
7) buy dad's bday/father's day gift (both days are around the same time. can kill 2 birds with a stone)
8) buy mum's bday gift
9) korean praise&worship..hopefully it's not in korean =/ but mum wants to go so i must teman
10) compile photos
