I'm starting to really feel the toll on me since school started. School stuff, work, going out, church, SIP interview and all is starting to have its effect on me. Dark circles, blood-shot eyes, yawning during inappropriate time, missing classes. And this is suppose to be a rather laid back semester for me.

On saturday, I bring Max around singapore and feel so much like s tourist as well. I took the bumpy boat ride at Clark Quay to Boat quay, went Arab streets and the flee market, geylang for durian and mangoesteen; which is suppose to be the royal family of fruits, walking aimlessly around the CDB area looking at architectual structures (Max's an architect). Really, just taking the train and dropping off where our instinct tells us to and walk.

And we get into the topics of perception. He can see the side of Singapore where I totally miss. Like the trees and cleaniness and the warmth of the people or the humidity of the weather. Which I really took for granted. Its like his senses are all open to absorb all the different things and it totally overwhelmed him. At the end of the day I ask him how he find Singapore and he answered.

1. Singapore is too nice. Its like so right that it is wrong because nothing can be too right.
2. He don't understand why people can wear jeans and not die of the heat.
3. Great food culture.
4. Excellence MRT network system.
5. A place where people are too sheltered and usually conform to do what the government says.
6. A good place to quit smoking because the cigarettes are too expensive and the picture in front of the box are too gross to look at.
7. Nothing is really worth seeing but when you put everything you have see and do and experience, it is actually wonderful.
8. A place that is good for raising his children because it is safe.
9. Attractive girls and not so attractive guys. ha ha


Anyway, I see Max off at golden mile complex yesterday. He is making his way to KL and other part of south east Asia but promise to drop by Singapore again when he is done before he head back to his real life in London. Although he keep urging me to go home and get my passport and jump in the coach with him. How i wish! During his time here, he has shared so much stuff with me. And not only have i learn so much about him, I learnt so much about myself as well. Its so liberating. Just when I am starting to get use to him; his quirky habit of pulling the back of my shirt and the infamous goofy grin, he is leaving. It is evident that I don't do goodbyes very well huh.

All hello always end with goodbyes.

Anyway, I'm really so tired right now i don't think i can make it through my SIP Interview later. Slept for only 6 hours since thursday. It's really bad. I get into this hibernation mode when i don't get enough rest. So i better jump into bed right now for a power nap before I go for the interview. Ciao
