Its relative.

During the early days of April, lots of things were planned, and lots of things were put into motion.IMG_4715For one, me and Wei Lun had already planned something epic for our bestie, Desmond.

April was also the last month I’d be working with Bad Madrid. I didn’t really take any photos of any sort while I was working there. I guess we were always too busy to just whip out a camera. I’ll come up with photos one day =D

My relatives from Switzerland came to pay us a visitIMG_4720SAY HERROW TO MAI COUSIN EDWARD. He’s only about 2?

Took them out to dinner. Its sorta entertaining, having Eurasian cousins.IMG_4725The sunset was particularly special that evening for some reason.IMG_4732Unc John and TimothyIMG_4734Aunty Irene and EdwardIMG_4738Cayman Crocodile. LOLIMG_4739IMG_4748IMG_4753IMG_4754IMG_4758 Some how, my dad, and all my uncles and aunties, even myself and my brothers have the same face when we laugh. =D

Got home, and mom wanted a group photo for memory’s sakeIMG_4760First try. Fail.IMG_47612nd try. Also fail.IMG_47633rd try. Minor fail, not everyone’s looking at the camera.IMG_47644th and final try. SUCCESS. Apart from the fact that there’s something else looking at the camera. CHEN TELL ME IF YOU SPOT THEM.

IMG_4766IMG_4769I miss them. Sometimes I wish I had more cousins my age.

I need to find an alternative route.

I’ve been thinking a lot lately.

Its been a while since my mind’s been buzzing like is it now. Plenty of thoughts fill my mind. I wonder why my mind’s stayed dormant for so long. I miss reaching into the depths of my thoughts looking for answers I knew I’d never find. But somewhere along the way I’d find answers I never knew I needed.

I’m still thinking a lot, at this very moment. Its 5 minutes past 8 at night and I’m still in college, waiting on a friend to send me home. I’m thinking about how pretty college looks at night, about how the library emits a comforting glow in the evening, and a refuge from the blazing weather in the afternoon. I’m thinking about how some students are able to spend hours on end just going through stacks of books. I’m thinking about how this library makes you feel so damn productive yet so damn lazy, all at the same time. I’m thinking about how expensive it is to eat wantan mee in college. I’m thinking about how weird looking some of the chairs and furniture are.

I’m thinking about how this college is so big, with thousands of students, yet I know only a small fraction, and even smaller figure personally. I’m thinking about the friends I’ve known and met over the years, prior to coming to college, and how they’re doing. I’m thinking about my dog at home who’s waiting for me, wondering why his master is still not back yet. I’m thinking about how I’m going to college tomorrow. I’m thinking about the unfinished assignments I have, and about how computer illiterate I am when it comes to using Microsoft Publisher.

I’m thinking about going to the loo, and also about how lazy I am to pack up my laptop and walk all the way to the nearest one, only to come back and set up my laptop again. Its 12 past 8 now, and I’m thinking about how long my friend’s taking to in her group discussion. I’m thinking about how I could use this time I’m spending right now to write lyrics for my band instead of blogging. I’m thinking about the librarians who work and at what time they have to go home.

All this and more in less than 10 minutes.

Makes you wonder and think even more about what I’m thinking about during the other 18 hours and 50 minutes when I’m awake.

But I find that amidst all this random thinking, amidst all the struggles that I find myself facing despite the fact that I’m still adjusting myself to college, despite the fact that my mind’s wandering off again because I’m alone in the library, that I’m thinking about you. I don’t really know you, but I’m thinking about you nonetheless. There really is something about you that’s drawing me toward you, something I can’t explain.

I wish I had more answers.

REUNION. Well, sort of la.

Its been about a month since I last when out with Chen and Joee. Lately, I seem to have the tendency to blog about something a month after it actually happens. Yea, I’ll have to work on that. ANYWAY, here are a few pics:IMG_4656 Met up with Chen first,IMG_4660Then Joee and TuckyIMG_4661

And then, there was Ikea’s hotdog. I always wanted one, but they ran out for a certain period of time. BUT ITS FINALLY BACKIMG_4662 hoe yea.

We met up with the rest of the gang, and had dinner at Friday’s. It was nice, seeing them all againIMG_4668 IMG_4673IMG_4676IMG_4679IMG_4682 IMG_4684IMG_4685IMG_4698 IMG_4701IMG_4702IMG_4703 IMG_4706IMG_4709 We sorta went our separate ways after dinner, some had to go back, others, for a movie.

So me, chen, joee and tucky went to watch How To Train Your Dragon.HowToTrainYourDragon-02One of the better Dreamworks’ movies I’ve seen.
