So I will be doing an update. I think I shall split it into two. This post will all be words, and the next one will be with more pictures (: So basically this post will be more personal and the next one will be about school and other fashion related stuff. I guess this is me giving a nice heads- up to people who are here just for my updates about school and fashion stuff - you can move on to the next post later.
Let me begin.
What had went on for the four months I went into hiding? Well school definitely happened. And work (internship) too of course. My birthday went by - uneventful as usual. And that's about all. Seem like a pretty short summary.
At work, opportunities arised for me to find out some ugly gossips. It decreases the mystery surrounding my higher authorities (in office) and of course in the process my respect for them lessened. Gossips are gossips of course. But they just answered some baffling issues I had been having in the office (like the way they work etc). Office gossip stays in the office. Shall not elaborate too much on the details.
As some would know, this is my first birthday (in four years) to spend it alone. Actually, like the Valentine's day, it actually feel good to be single. No expectations towards anyone (not even my friends, because over the years, no one ever celebrate it with me on the day itself). It feels good that I do not have to end the day with disappointments since I never started the day with any hopes. But this year, there was an exception. My two new-found (and pretty close) friends surprised me with a cake and my favourite macaroons! Love it. Haven't had such a nice surprise in a long long time.
One night a few weeks ago, me and my lovely friend had a girls' night out! For your information, she isn't a local. She's an African. That explains why we were at this club that night. Given my height is pretty average here (or slightly above average), I found myself being towered the entire night! All the foreigners from all over the world! I half-regretted not wearing heels (remembering my last night club experience in my wedges, I'm half-thankful I'm on flats). But oh boy! The atmosphere was good! Everyone was so nice! Not trying-to-get-you-in-my-bed kind of nice. But sincerely nice! It felt so good. I haven't been surrounded by SO many nice people in a small space and in a night! It was a very pleasing experience. A flattering one too. Haha. It was an eye-opener. Given I haven't travelled much and far, my knowledge of foreigners has been limited to just Asians. I was reminded how kind and sincere and honest people can be.
For instance, I was very drunk by the time I left. I was alone (I was too tired to stay on). I was conscious but dead drunk. A nice man from India was waiting for a cab like me, and we started a conversation. Then the events turned and he didn't need to leave the location. But he decided to stay on with me till I catch a cab. It took about 10 to 15 minutes. Despite the state I was in, he didn't take advantage and was very gentleman the entire time. It totally changed my bias opinion about Indians. This guy was very courteous and nice all the time till I got into a cab. I have heard alot about how foreigners think that Singaporean girls are so easy to get, or that people you meet after 2am and at the club are only nice to you to get into your pants. But during this long night, I didn't meet a single person like that. How wonderful if I can meet such people everyday. Then I'm sure I won't be as bitter as I am now. Haha!
Anyway this is my last term doing my course. I have one of the tougher module left to complete, and I am "so lucky" to have this "super wonderful" teacher. I'm SURE I will be able to pass this module. Given that it's my last 3 months, I start to worry about my journey out there alone with no framework to follow, no guidelines to ensure the pathway to success. I need to start polishing my work to compile a portfolio. Tonnes of work ahead of me.
Wish me luck!
