What?!!

An article about Singapore appeared in Time this week. It was about transformation, the billions and billions of dollars that the government was spending on reformation, on transformation to attract expats, to attract tourists and basically, to turn SIngapore into other "hubs" which is not already yet. Hmms. the plan is that Sentosa would have a casino, and perhaps even a universal studios themepark. I'm just thinking whether I really want Sentosa to become another tourist attraction - overrun by those (who really are the wrong crowd and who usually are those who appear in Sentosa, gawking at girls anyway.). Don't take away my haven away please. I really refuse to have to travel all the way to Bali to get some decent sun and quietness. As it is, Sentosa is getting crowded with old men from China, walking right into the ladies changing room (with me standing right there in a dress) and peeing into one of the showers (who was insanely gross). Stupid old man.

At this rate, (even though change is good), I won't recognise what Singapore is going to be in another few years. Boo. poo. I mean of course, I understand the need for change, I understand the need for us to make a mark and prove ourselves (especially with pirates 3 implying that singapore's another pirate-filled country), I understand the urgency of reversing the trend of a aging population - but I don't want MY Singapore to change. I don't want my kopi-tiam uncle to go away, I don't want the already crowded places to become even more crowded (e.g. ORCHARD!!!). It's busy as it is. boo.

Anyhow, that said, I really did buy this issue of TIME because it had an article on Singapore. (Singapore whore!!ha.) I'm stil patriotic even though i'm 8 hours away. Nothing there I would take for granted. Even in light of the pace of life, the demands of success, and bad drivers (stupid, irritating motorcyclists and cab drivers), the lack of much of arts scene - I'm still very much in love with home. And yes, I still do get teary-eyed when the plane flies in from Melbourne and I see the skyline, all lited up and welcoming me home. Yes, I did consider the huge oomph of hot air that heats me when i step out of the airport as well. I still love the place MANY MANY. It's home. hey. it is.

That said, today would be 3 days (yes. I'm that sad that I actually count can!). Abstinence. I can't really comprehend whether this is a good thing or not. Maybe my brain REFUSES to comprehend because alot of the neurons are being used up studying. There's just so much work to do.
The stars say for june:

You may feel like speeding up a certain process (?!!) but it's best to bide time (meh!). Distract yourself with something glam and classically Saggo, such as sports, horseriding or travel (wahlau.travel.nada.not for another month at least.Sports?apparently I'm doing too much.Horseriding? Where got horse?!does French = glam?).

His stars say: Is a relationship ready to move to the next level? Or is it evolving out of your life? (gone case!) Divine the scenario by the auspicious new moon on June 15. Clarify intent, be savvy with practical issues and don't rush new love. (=faint!)

SO there. so much contradiction. And seriously, I don't believe in these things - it's just funny how they MIGHT possibly apply to my predicaments at the moment. Don't rush. Yah seriously I know don't rush. What i must rush is my notes and my relationship with mr. taylor. poo. I only believe in Karma. Maybe it is Karma at work. yawn. pleh.

That said though - I've done with 2 of Mr. Taylor's lectures - just about two milion more to go. :|

I though will leave you with what it's been on my playlist at the moment...
"在我离你远去的那一天.... 在等待两人回来的那一刻."

p.s. I can't stop thinking about a new bag. and eh. arhhm
