Word spreads like wildfire. And there is a tendency for people reading my blog to take things too literal or personal.

I don’t hate this country. Period. I didn’t resent coming home. I’m not reluctant to be spending summer here.

I was just a little bored and restless and disappointed. And like always I’m going to blame it on PMS too.

So last weekend I went to Malacca and I remembered why I never wanted to leave this country in the first place. I’ve forgotten how the heat here is so intense that 5 mins in the sun, you start sweating profusely. I’ve forgotten how I love long rides in the car. I’ve forgotten how much I love cendol. I’ve forgotten that I still have friends who are crazy and are some of the only people I’m truly comfortable with. It’s these little things that I’ve missed and remembered how much I love.

Ahhh, especially the heat. The moment I stepped out of the car I declared “Yay I love the sun! I should be tanned by the end of the day!”. Of which I got a few weird stares from my friends and Chin Yip even exclaimed, “What?! Love the heat???” Few minutes later and my excitement about the sun has vanished altogether and been replaced with complaints about how hot it is and looking for a fan to cool down. Haha. Reminder to self: the intensity of the sun here might be the same as it is in UK but the humidity is not and 5 degrees is a BIG difference! (By the way, UK is experiencing a heatwave so they are getting temperatures of 29 – 34 degrees! At least they get to experience some Asian weather! )

Anyway last week has been better than the week before. Been seeing the college gang a lot, attended the most boring Econs lecture in my life (actually the only Econs lecture I’ve ever attended in my life lol) in hopes of seeing some cute HELP guys but apparently not and coming out feeling very old instead because everyone looked like they were fresh out of school (which they actually are), went around HELP to see how much it has changed, had a Klang-day with the Subang people and 1 HK person.

And things are looking up. I’m tres excited cos I have an aim for these summer holidays! Got a job today so am working 4 out of 7 days. Less time for socialising but at least I would never be bored now. Also French lessons to get a head start for French classes next year! Tonight, a farewell dinner for an ex-classmate so seeing some people I haven’t met yet (am driving to MV cos I have no other form of transport. Jesus, journey mercy pleeeeeassseeee! Omg, I might actually panic. In case you didn’t know, am not one of the best drivers around. LOL.) and then a continuous stream of goodbyes to the Aust people in July. Singapore last week of July baby! (please please let me be able to take leave!) And then a few family hols to Penang, Cameron and hopefully fingers crossed, Langkawi with a couple of college people in August!

So yeah I have plenty of things to look forward to now and I think I’ll hardly blog (then again, everytime I say that I blog even more. Haha.) Alright! Bring on summer!
