as heard on the idiotbox.

As i waited in the causeway jam for 1.3 hours/80 mins/4800 seconds/4560743 strands of collective hair from the stresses of the masses being stuck in a cesspit of 8235 cars.. "latest news on the radio, U.S. Dept of *something something* reported that good weather will result in an abundance of crop and agricultural produce." Well. you dont say..

My 20th birthday/eve of mothers' day was yesterday, celebrated it with most of the extended family in JB. Me and my big mouth, i told my sisters that if they wanted to get me a present, what i needed right now was either my food stash or underwear. they must've thought the latter was easier to get. My uncle too got wind of it and he threw in an extra pack. Coolness.

Chilled with the boys. Eventhough we had the whole of JB to ourselves, but we just took time to talk about what's been happening in our lives, cos we've been quite busy lately and yesterday was just too perfect to miss. The boys are always there when you need a good pick-me-up. Also i spent a good time trying to convince everyone else i was still only twenteen.

Im glad i can put it all behind me. I just want to wish her the best in all that she's doing. No loose ends or unfinished business. That sigh of relief, the feeling of freedom that hits you when you first open your eyes in the morning. Could have also been the warming rays from the sun, but either way i still look forward to both. If you've ever noticed, there's actually a difference between the sun's rays on different days, the best ones are always on fridays, saturdays and sundays.. today was particularly beautiful. a nice soft glow.

Another year older, a new start. They say I'm no longer a teenager anymore, and the responsibilities will also add on year after year. Ill use NS to sort out my thinking. Put the 2 years to good use. but meanwhile... backpacking! okay.. with proper planning, and ive still got 5 months. i prolly wont have to wait till after NS to backpack up north. The richness of asia can only be seen with your own eyes as you travel through the multi-faceted societies that line the east coast west coast, and land-locked SEA states. I'm a sucker for lonely planet-esque tv programs, just caught globe trekker on artscentral 2 days ago. Ian wright was the perfect person to host such a show. i was addicted to the way he made each adventure so exciting and culturally unique to its geography. kinda like indiana jones, without the fedora. last week's one was a feature on traveling in beirut, lebanon and coincidentally, beirut was on the news the same night, some kind of internal conflict. Ok, im going to abruptly end this entry right here in all its awkwardness. Good night. :)
