I have been home most of the time on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday except for meals because I obviously NEED TO EAT! Well, I just feel weird however being so alone and all that. It really reminds me of my lonely moments in E. But why? Why do so many Singaporeans, including myself cannot live a single life? Are we too dependant on our parents, partners?
When I stayed in a hostel in Edin, I came across 2 ladies in their early 20s. To be exact, I shared the same room with them in the hostel. WHICH WAS LIKE SO WEIRD BUT COOL.
Ok, one was an American, took off from her work for a few months to travel around certain parts of E. She had been travelling for a few months already. The 1st thing that came to my mind... HER LEAVE IS REALLLYYYYYY LONGGGGGG. Through my observation, I could see that she has settled her transportation and all that but didnt plan her tour like until she reaches that city? Ok, when I was there I also didnt plan anything until I arrived there, hehe. But Edinburgh was a tourist-sy place. And I would be like super alone for only the 3 days. In her case is different, so many months! I applaud her!
The other lady? Better still. She was from Australia and wanted to take a break from Uni for A YEAR to settle at some ulu(not really ulu lah) place on the other side of the Earth?! She was trying to look for a job while staying away from home. Also she was like, "42SGD a night in the hostel is likeeee sooooooo cheap!" *gives the "it is so cheap" expression* Where did she get the $$$ from?! And she is willing to pay money to stay away from home for a year. (maybe she dosent like home?) Or is that how all the ang mohs live?
Probably my mind is too narrow and I needa see and expirence more things. Heh. However, I do understand that ang moh kids my age move out and no longer stay with their parents.
Now the question...
-Do I follow the ang mohs, and be very independant?
OR
-Should I just stick to the Singapore/Chinese culture of sticking to my parents.
Like for example 10 years down the road, unmarried. Will I continue to stay with my parents or move out and lead my own life?(still staying in contact and visiting my parents once in awhile)
Of course, that is not for me to say now but I'll see how it goes :) I wanna have a ring ok?
Ok, STOPPPPPP!!
More about life NOW! I have been doing a couple of housework like making the kitchen look nice, scrubbing the toilet(my bowl is so clean that i can still smile while put my face directly in front of it) and vacuuming/wiping all parts of my room! (Other places need not be touched becos mommy kept it sparkling clean before she left :D)
So I was right, my aunties keeps checking on me, even more than my mom does. But hooray! I am going to sleepover at cousin's... Followed by shopping with cousin on Thursday! So just nice, friday I will have orientation, weekend's out and Monday is my big first day of school! Yipee!
By then I will be too busy to be alone. I like!
Timetable was out yesterday, my Monday lessons are like 11am-1pm...(good after being tired out from the weekend) And my longest day would be Tuesday from 9am-6pm. Realised too that I will be studying psycology which would be the least interesting subject to me. It feels weird not studying maths AT ALL too :/ Whatever I have learnt in secondary school is of no use to my diploma. Arghhhh! When I studied for O levels, I studied for the knowledge ok! Not for the grades! (Maybe not, hehe :P) Another point of view, I learn new things! Woohoo! Can't wait for school to start!
