Hi blog. So the reason of writing this post is no other than boredom. Yes ironically i feel bored in this long-awaited holiday. This is my ONE and ONLY longest holiday in my life before the glorious O-Level comes into picture next year.
I have been waiting for this holiday since I had my end of year examination, and I have tried my best to bear every single school choir practice to finally have my holiday I deserve. And now I spend it half-heartedly.
I went to the mall with my mom just now, TA, to watch the new Disney production, Frozen, which was... quite disappointing. Well, my friends said that it was damn good, even better than my all-time favorite Disney movie yet, Tangled, however this movie didn't manage to deliver any wow factor to me. Maybe I raised my bar higher than I was supposed to. Especially, when you just watched a super awesome mind-boggling movie like Catching Fire. Ok im here not to give some movie reviews so I'd better get going.
On my way back to home, my mind was wandering and thinking, reflecting back my whole year in Singapore. No actually it started a bit earlier -- when I swam this morning. You know how lonely when you're swimming and my mind was just wandering around for the entire time in the pool. And surprisingly, I was thinking in English.
People said that when you have felt comfortable with a language, you will think, dream, and even BREATH in English (exaggerated). Well initially I never thought I would reached that level but I think I started to.
Honestly I really miss speaking English to my friends back in the hostel and school. When you only have your parents who don't speak English fluently, 24 hours a day, you feel just awkward when you try to. So what can I do? .... I speak to myself in English in my mind. Nah, I sound crazy.
I'm out of my mind. So, (sigh) I decided to blog away. It's a more productive way of spending my free time and I hope it would be beneficial to my composition next year, ha..ha...ha (mugger mindset detected)
Anw, I do really miss my hostel friends. I never thought I would. Back in Singapore, they are like my second family. My dinners have always been so eventful and delightful to me with all the chattering and (cough) fangirling (cough).
We share our bottles of chilli ACROSS (again) ACROSS tableS (plural). And when everyone got a spoonful of it, you end up having your new chilli bottle half empty (hahahaha). The joy of sharing :p
Even though we meet every day, we never ran out of topics to talk about. Our conversations have always been cheerful and sometimes I did eat my dinner slowly or stay back to listen to my friends talking. Now my dinner is.. peaceful. Too peaceful.
Oh, I'm just going to be totally random so now I want to talk about my holiday so far. Well, I just got back from Australia 2 days ago. We went to Sydney and Melbourne, and the 16-day trip was UHMAZING. Mostly because of my cute little cousins who barely speak Indonesian and I got to bully them for the whole 2 weeks. I never thought I would want a little brother for myself until I met them. But it turns out that having little brothers can be cool (and challenging). You know what, when I was young I used to imagine myself slapping my little brother face, (in case I had one), just to make him cry. I loved to make baby suffers (ok now I sound creepy and heartless).
OH OH and the beforehand, the minute I got into the airplane from Singapore to Sydney, I was LITERALLY OVERWHELMED by the number of bule around me. They were literally everywhere and we were like the only Asians sitting in the same compartment. I was blown away. At that point of time, it was my first encounter to such a number of bule in the same time. My face was beaming with joy and I sat next to a handsome mid-20s guy (norak detected). All in all it was a pleasant flight with amazing dinner and desert.
I spent my first week in Sydney and my first destination was Maddame Tussaud (HAHAHA AS YOU CAN GUESS WHY). They had a One Direction Wax Tour and I went crazy because I thought the waxes were supposed to be in London at that time. I sat next to the artificial Liam who looked nothing like him up close. But it was the closest encounter I can be with this supermegafoxyawesome group band so I kept my mouth shut. They even had handprints of each member, so... that day was amazing. A day spent with waxes.
Ok, first of all, I must say (or rather complain): that EVERYTHING THERE WAS SO OVERPRICED. Living in Singapore itself I think was expensive enough, but it turns out that it was EVEN WAY MORE EXPENSIVE THERE. Food court was a pain in the ass to look out for. I barely found one in a kilo. And even though I had found one, the food was like 9 dollars a portion. Luckily they were big so I always shared with my mom. And they have Pie Face shop in every 500 m or even less. Things to take note: they sell FANTASTIC BACON CHEESE EGG MEATPIE which is VERY EXPENSIVE (5 dollars each) but DEFINITELY WORTH IT. (1 AUD = Rp 11000)
Umm... what else? Oh, the Sydney Opera House was just plain ordinary. Hahahaha I guess I'm not a fan of architecture, but honestly it was just...a group of huge sea shells in my eyes.
BUT THE BEACH WAS GREAT. There was this beach called Manly Beach which can be accessed by a ferry and it was the highlight of the city (personally). I watched people surf FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME and I think they were just plain awesome. The water was very cold and I saw a lot of people playing volleyball by the shore. Ah, if only East Coast Park had volley nets.
These few paragraphs don't really sum up everything about the trip, but you can always check on my Facebook album and you'll find the photos which depict the awesomeness a little bit better.
Now let's talk about my hostel friends. So nowadays everyone has been fretting about being jomblo during the holidays. I don't know what triggered this chain of jomblo feelings but they were spreading among us really quick. Yesterday was 11/12/13 and they were sorry for having no one to 'confess' on that day hahaha. Geez. You know what, I doubt that any of us will get together by the end of Sec 4. We are as close as brothers and sisters and I don't think it will go any further than that. But who knows, after seeing my seniors these past few months, things might change in 2014.
Oh, and as I'm writing this post, I'm also eating martabak manis which was on the top of my food craving list. Now I feel accomplished.
By the way, I haven't touched my homework yet so I feel a bit guilty as I'm writing this post. I'm supposed to do a speech assignment in my laptop but apparently blogging seems less stressful, so.
I guess I'll end my post here. See you again some time later, blog. Thanks for being my listening ear.
