1) For a country where people are so conservative in their mannerisms and where acting like I normally would in Melbourne would be considered too boisterous for Singapore unless in Clarke Quay after 10pm.... Men really do not hide it when they are staring at your tits. Especially mats. I do not dress in a way to show them off.
2) For a country where a single certificate to own a car costs $70,000 on top of the price of the car, THERE SURE ARE A LOT OF FUCKING NEW CARS ON THE ROAD
So much for blogging loads on holiday! It's not been a week since exams ended but I feel like i'm failing myself already. But this time I really have been feeling absolutely shite since the end of exams party.
In short, massive hangover on Saturday somehow spilled over into Sunday, then Monday, and now Tuesday. I've been feeling nauseated all day since the hangover and my gastrointestinal tract has been disagreeing with me completely. Imagine being on a 7 hour flight feeling that way! Not fun. Which sucks because there's all this food I want to eat. I treated myself to chicken fried rice (which was soooooooo god damn good i'm hungry again just thinking of it) but paid for it today.... Bad times. But i've found ways to enjoy the things i've missed. Like Yakult. And my grandma's home made yoghurt on plain rice (mmmm). And porridges of various flavours from Simpang Bedok.
But what I REALLY WANT is a god damn McSpicy.
Also the heat has not helped but it's nice to shave my legs again, wearing dresses and shorts. Seemed like a lifetime away back in Melbourne, rugging up for all those weeks studying. Thermals (top+bottom), slacks, uggs, and about 4 layered tops under a jumper. NO MORE OF THAT FOR 3 WEEKS!
Today I had my first diving theory lesson and it was really good. Straight forward stuff all taught in videos. Don't think I could bother studying a book after the last few weeks. It got me looking forward to the hands-on practical stuff and especially the dive trip next week. Felt a bit awkward alone, and the ill-nausea-tummy-bleh-feeling made me a very anti-social person but hopefully i'll feel better soon.
Anyway, the flight over was delayed by almost 2 hours because someone tried to flush something ridiculous down one of the upper deck toilets which didn't get fixed in the end but it didn't bother me too much. So I found a power point, set up my laptop and watched a couple of episodes of Curb Your Enthusiasm while waiting. That show has kept me sane throughout 9 exams.
So as I was watching, this scene popped up... And I struggled so bad to maintain composure sitting on the floor.
[11:49:19 PM] aroona: i swear it's so easy to pull off any clothes when you're thin
[11:49:22 PM] aroona: rahh
[11:49:54 PM] David Cooper: whatever man
[11:50:28 PM] aroona: you think i can pull off clothes like her?
[11:51:00 PM] David Cooper: her clothes are pretty shit
[11:51:51 PM] aroona: haha really
[11:51:55 PM] aroona: some of them are nice
[11:52:38 PM] David Cooper: being skinny just means you can wear shitter clothes
FACT.
It's time I stopped wondering about how i'd look in that neon-lacy-scalloped hem playsuit and enjoy the way I look in my sense of style. This shit's just getting out of control.

6/9 exams done!!! HOME STRETCH! I cannot wait to resume life starting this Friday.
1. Dye my hair red
2. Get Ashwin's mp3 birthday present together
3. Get my scuba license (thank you Bidina <3)
4. Read and finish at least ONE book
5. Make a list of places in Singapore to bring David to, and COMPLETE ALL THE QUESTS!
6. Pierce my nose (QUoi?!)
7. ^^ Learn French (properly this time)
8. Catch up with everyone twice over AT LEAST
#3 I always wanted to but never had the balls to actually do it, and Bidina got some vetties together to buy me a scuba trip! And I get official certification to dive up (or down, rather) to a certain depth.
#4 I started reading the Qu'ran (English translation) but never got around to finishing it. So either I read that or.... read the Lord of the Rings again.
#5 I shall make the list and put it up here when I get around to making such a list. I've got a mental list at the moment.
#6 WHY THE HELL NOT. I've always wanted to know how that'd go down. Since I cannot afford a new tattoo at the moment, this will have to do.
#7 Yeah just one of those things. I will live in France briefly at some stage in my life. Well at least I want to.
So here I am. Swot vac has come and gone and I am about 5000% further behind schedule than I initially planned to be. The biggest shitter of an exam is tomorrow, although this year has been different. Since each subject is now an animal i.e Cattle, Birds, Pigs are all a subject each, they're all pretty much of equal difficulty because they all involve knowing the same depth of knowledge. Although tomorrow's exam is the most content heavy, doesn't mean it gets easier from there :(
So..
Monday : Dogs and Cats
Tuesday : Clinical Science
Wednesday : Small Ruminants (sheep and goats basically)
Thursday : Birds
Friday : Cattle
Each 30 lectures, (except Clinical Science). None of which I have finished in full :/
To all that I say....
All the bread was in the freezer so a hat of bread would've been unpleasant. Spawned from one of my favourite memes of all time. If you've seen it too, you are awesome.
Alright back to 90 pages of gastro notes in the next hour unless I want to sleep less than 7 hours tonight.
PS: DAVID HAS (APPLIED&PAID FOR) HIS PASSPORT! YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH BOYYYY. Singapore adventures here we come!
