yarn.
I figured this needed a rewrite. Enough things have happened since the time I first wrote it to render it entirely disconnected from what I'm writing under the Recent Entries tab, for instance.
At the moment, I'm in between high school and university - a strange limbo extended here in Singapore by two years of compulsory military service which I am currently serving. It is strange to divide one's life between being a soldier for the week and myself for the weekend, but since these two years are an inevitability I have decided to make the best of them - there is little else to do.
The past six years of schooling were spent at the Hwa Chong Institution. In these six years I have had both regrets and glory, and graduating is bittersweet for both reasons. There were a lot of good things about this school and there are still some good things about it, despite what some may claim.
Friends overseas or returning from overseas assure us that 'Singapore is not the world'; perhaps, but for now it is.
Every now and then I still wish I were in Taiwan, where I was born, for periods of time, because sometimes:
I want streets, not shopping malls; roadside stalls, not food courts; clouds, not construction sites; community, not crowds; soccer on the streets, not in a court.
Intermittently I write poetry, play soccer and debate, not very well. But I try.
In my spare time, of which there is more than there should be, I hang out with my friends, look older than I am, tend to be extremely lazy about my work, love making bad puns, and am an Arsenal fan.
I found love at the beginning of 2007 and I am not letting go of her.
Close(r) friends: Clara the contradictory, Hee the brother, Myf the longtime consort, Hongyu the earnest, Tansy the restrained, Vince the forward, Jasmine the floral, Karen the intelligent, Yue Lin the lupine, Greg the manipulator, Alfred the lovelost.
and the rest of you people, don't count yourself discounted: I just have quotas in place. Marcus the feline, Jian Yang the weathery, Jez the gawky, Seng the self-assurer, Colin the violet, Tay the calamitatious, Jon Sim the misunderstood, Shaun the green, Jack the orator, Kelvin the ascendant, Kevin the clownish, Leech the overextended, Tristan the table-gamer, Ryan Heng the taxman, Blym the koala, Leonard the workworn, jS the idiosyncratic, BQ the affected, Charmaine the charmed, Wanjie the Parisian, Rachel the capricious, Michelle the eclectic, Vanessa the smiley, Bern the psychotic, Kylie the killer-bunny, Jiawei the girl-next-door, Charmaine Han the artist, Amanda the mythmaker, Veronica the careworn.
I have also abandoned my efforts to keep my interests count at 123 - though, ironically, that's what it stands at now.
