glad!

I’ve forgotten. Forgotten how it’s like to perspire profusely in the humid weather in Singapore. Other than cycling up steep slopes and jogging by the river, I haven’t felt sweat beads, a lot of them, for a long time.

I am having so much fun here that sometimes I have the urge to study. Weird, I never thought I really would appreciate studying. But for my whole life, it has been quite a balance of work (and lots of deadlines) and fun. Now it’s so much fun and almost non-existent work. I am having so much fun sometimes I feel sinful indulging in so much enjoyment. Overdose of fun, and I am really not complaining.

I used to have the mentality: when will I ever get to do such crazy things again? But I realize I could always make it happen if I want to; it’s just the extent. Travelling to the North Pole sounded almost like a joke a few years ago, but I’ll get close next week in the Arctic, in Lapland, Sweden, to catch the Northern Lights, hopefully.

But these are just some of the things between returning from a trip, and getting ready for another. All these fun and experience and spending just makes me want to share this with my family. Work hard in my final year. Get a great job. Make them proud of me. Be there for my sister as she adjusts to her new life in Australia.

I am looking forward to what awaits me in destiny. I am glad!
