press here.

Our fourth local university has just been named the Singapore University of Technology and Design.

‘Design and Technology’ sounds better la.

American Idiot has been playing on the car stereo the over the past few days, and this lyric from Wake Me Up When September Ends really jars to my ears, ’Seven years has gone so fast’.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I think it should be, ‘Seven years have gone so fast’. It just sounds better!

———————————————

Lol… If I had to take a stab at explaining myself, I’d reckon it’s because ‘years’ is a plural word, so should be followed up by ‘have’… duh!

I guess I should have paid more attention to grammar lessons in primary school then.

——————————————–

This does not change the fact that I am REALLY SURE that I am right over the Green Day lyric. Hey, my primary school English owned with me using the technique of going into exams and reading questions under my breath to decide which answer sounded best!

Liverpool have lost 4 games in a row. I don’t think they’d dare lost a fifth.

Man Utd better be careful at Anfield this weekend!

lol.

I just realized that Stalin was Georgian and that Hitler was Austrian. I mean, I’ve known these two facts for a while now, but wow. That’s like Obama except a long time ago!

However… I do think Hitler kept his country of birth secret unlike Obama. I mean that would’ve hurt his popularity among the  blonde hair, blue eyes, 100% pure-blood folks right?

Just watched the ‘best driving roads’ episode from Top Gear. I’d be awfully stoked if I could go on a driving holiday. 2 requirements though:

1. Minimum age of 21 (unless you’re in NYC where it’s 18).

2. Minimum 2 years driving experience.

WHY?!

This means the summer of 2011 is the best possible date for a road trip in the near future. It’s before the Olympics and I’d have just met these two pesky requirements. That’s in roughly 600 days time?

———————————

When sufficiently bored, I will come up with a list of the places/things I need to do before I get old and have a bad back. Somewhere in between I’ll probably be mugging/whining in uni, and trying to earn pocket money to fund my epic excursions. I honestly don’t think anyone has quite any idea how expensive exciting my holiday plans are, or how unconventional they are as well.

I should work for Nat Geo or Discovery Travel & Adventure. Really.

I’ve left these shores for the past two weeks, and I’d like to think these past two weeks have been both a ‘detox’ trip from life in Singapore, as well as a crash course in adulthood. Now that I’m back, a sense of emptiness is bugging me, as I wrestle with thoughts like, “I shouldn’t be here” and “There’s not much to look forward to back here”.

I know I’ve been whining about how I would like the 10 months, but having gone abroad for 2 weeks, I’ve tasted and decided that I like life in London. Now that I am back here, I just don’t really know what to do- although I know that work is in order to earn money to fund the trips which I dreamt I’d go on during my gap. This uncertainty is so unsettling that  I’m being kept up at night by this (look it’s 3am now). Sian.

Also, if I were to get a job, I’d like one which I find meaningful/challenging/exciting. How do I go about finding one? Do I e-mail NatGeo and ask for a temporary job? Can I volunteer at an NGO and ask them for a monthly allowance?

There’d be no worries if I just went back to London to study in November, but as usual, I’m sure God has a plan in store for me these upcoming months. I certainly hope so.
