change is good for everyone

i'll be leaving sunny singapore on 23aug. it's alright if none of my friends sends me off because the plane flies at 6am and i don't think i have any zombie pals.

but on to my thoughts now. leaving isn't easy, but i figured that if i concentrated on the positive aspects, the sadness won't be too harsh a blow.

the pull factors:
- student life
- new pals
- new environment
- new weather
- american cable tv
- snow
- self-reliance
- freedom
- driving license
- holidays
- chicks of all colours

the push factors:
- weather and humidity
- boredom
- overbearing government
- lousy shopping
- naggy parents
- unbearable friends

after listing down all of the above, i feel so much better now. i'm glad i'm leaving some things behind.

i'd also like to take this opportunity to apologise to anyone whom i've wronged or offended. you don't have to forget what i did, you just have to forgive. that's all that i'm asking for. let's drop all the ill feelings and let me go celebrate americana.

fuck sadness and reluctance. say hi to adventure and spontaneity!

and what a great way to start with my mantra: i had char kway teow, beef hor fun, oyster omelette, chendol and ice cream for lunch. i'll be having none of it in michigan, but i'll be happy. when my ankle feels right again, i'll have to jog it all off.
