just back from blading! okay not really just. but anyway. weather was so nice.. it's wonderful to feel the wind/sea breeze/... i think that's why i like snowboarding so much too.. the thrill of the wind rushing past! and sailing. okay i think i just like to go fast. drifting eh? too fast too furious: tokyo drift. it's not like it was such a great movie but it's just funny to talk about it with sealnet people. the context matters.
but man, i set my alarm for 8 and when it went off i was like noooo.. haha. totally spoilt by college. remember the good old days when we had to get to school by 7ish? that's so unthinkable now. but when work starts it'll be back to that i believe.. and then i was so zoned out.. it's time for a nap! hehe i love sleeping.
suddenly I don't feel a need to reflect on freshman year anymore. But maybe I should anyway.. It's always good to reflect. It's kind of weird to lead two lives, sort of. One in Stanford, one in Singapore. And then while at SEALNet I was just thinking if I hadn't gone to Stanford I wouldn't have such an experience. But again I had my share of travel experiences with French Immersion and choir Italy trip.
Anyway. reflections will have to wait again, I'm having a very entertaining 4 way conversation with 3 of my RG classmates. I wish Chris was coming back. grumbles. As much as I want to believe I can, I think it's going to be harder and harder to keep in touch.. What if I don't come back next summer? augh.
so.. I'm back from 2 weeks in Thailand! I think Kevin will be very glad to hear that I got a lot more out of it than I ever expected. And definitely what he said about it being about the people you work with is very true.. Sharing their enthusiasm and liking them. Although sometimes I suspect I was more focused on having fun than about the community service hmm.. I guess it's all about balance
And I have no idea why all the Singaporeans decided I'm the quintessential little sister, but so I am and I now have 3 more big bros:) who all take turns bullying me. -sigh- YF's logic is "only I can bully you" (but no one else can). but anyway, I'm really glad we stayed on for a while after we finished SEALNet stuff cos it was so much more relaxed and all.
Staying at different people's places was also lots of fun.. We moved from an apartment to a house to a mansion! Although really, the logistical problems in Bangkok are phenomenal. Having a car doesn't help cos traffic is so bad half the time.. We took more time to get from soi 5 to soi 11 (which is like a 5 minute walk) than from Bangkok to Saraburi (which is pretty pretty far away)
But now it's so weird to be in my own house! Actually as it was, after JH n YF n Jason left it started getting rather depressing. Everyone's left! so quiet. ohhh yeah and Jason pestering Suki to do drifting and donuts (too fast too furious: tokyo drift!) it was pretty crazy for a bit though, all the guys were yelling at suki to do some crazy driving on the way back to her house. ooh and I'm so glad Suki likes dessert so much, we got to go nice places.
um. okay. derailed train of thought.. I guess after this morning's lack of sleep I'm not very coherent anymore. so time for bed!
