Living My Life Like It's Gülden

Yeah If i start blogging, I find it a bit difficult to stop =p

Okay I will admit!! i'm BORED. If there's one word that defines my constant state, it's "Bored". I think I'm just incredibly restless. And I'm in the mood to write today (instead of writing cover letters eh? bad Yamini! =p) so I'm just gonna wipe and write on my dusty blog instead.

Sooooooooooo..Singapore has received me well enough, bla bla. It's a nice place, REALLY..and that's all it is, "nice". It really does not have enough (cheap) activities to make you look forward to getting up and going.

I kept myself fully-fully occupied the past two weeks, and dragged my friend Winnie into it as well..I did things in Week 1 like fixing my laptop and acquiring laptop peripherals (USB hub, headset, webcam, another 512MB RAM, and 40GB more) [we'd visited Sim Lim Square 4 times since I returned. That beats my total visits over the past 5 years!]. We then spent Week 2 by going for threading/eyebrow shapening, having out hair cut, and having our hair coloured. Each activity takes a day. So my afternoons were somehow spent that way. Evenings, I met up with my dear ol' fwiends or helped my parents host their multiple dinner parties (annoying, to say the least). I'd also signed up for classes (like driving classes, german classes and Salsa, yes Salsa, classes).

Mind you, my shopping expenditures were almost zero. But meeting people alone can be mighty expensive. "let's go for coffee here, let's eat there, oh, i need to go to Watsons to get something; Yam: yeah i'll come along---ch-ching..my mind always says: Helloooooo, u're jobless here".

Winnie left for Perth last Saturday unfortunately, which pushed me into coming up with a daily schedule to keep myself busy and not brain-dead from perpetual job-hunting. I'm working out in the mornings (or so I claim and you will accept), studying during the day, andddd meeting up with friends at night or online (for those friends who ain't in this tiny island). Singapore TV is absolute shite, so the only program I'm watching now is Oprah and the friking million re-runs of American Idol. I can't watch that shite (American Idol) anymore..talk about OVERDONE.

You know, I've always had THIS problem with S'pore ...that time here FLIES, but it can just fly with one doing nothing at all. I mean, I'm busy the whole day, but I don't know WHAT i'm thhhaat busy with..busy enough for the sunset to come that fast. I'll turn older faster this way, Oh Gawd nooo.

But the people here are really nice, if u give them the magical treat, that of smiling at/with them. It works even in customer-unfriendly Singapore =) You know, I think I just want to meet more people. I miss life in India, where I was meeting people left, right and centre. And at the same time in Singapore, I want to talk, and yet I don't want to talk. I miss listening, people don't talk that much here, I find. Or at least, they don't talk that much sense =p I hope my German and Salsa classes have some nice people to talk to, but I'm not gonna get my hopes up. =p That never works in Singapore anyway. Your hopes? Keep them right close to the ground, no, looweeerr...ahh..tthhhatt's right.

  • Heh, What your saying quite right, never really managed to put my expirience in singapore so concisely! Ever thought of joining theatre arts? You really get to meet a range of people there! I lived in singapore for about 6 years myself, I've gotta say though they've been somewhat of a learning expirience I'm really not intending to go back there ta live.. ever.. Your right about keeping your hopes low, but really, you never know, I guess the chances are slimer but honestly, if ya keep trying you'll get through! Keep up the blogs! Its keeps ya sane! It does me! Cheers~!
