Good Morning Internet
It's been one of those days again that I get a little time to aerate my head, again-
Which has been nice. Very nice. I've spent large amounts of time with my head in my tea this morning, and I'm generally starting to feel the burn from the end of prelims, that being that I'm effortlessly exhausted and my brain constantly feels like crumbling mounds of cottage cheese. Basically I found myself sleeping a lot yesterday, an event which is slightly more than horrific because you see I don't take naps.
I don't do naps.
In more important news I thought I'd go over the events of the last few weeks, which involved mostly eating away my stress to some degree of success or just doing some light cafe hopping either with friends or with my Parents. Overall, it's been a rather enjoyable time. After what felt like a million years I went to Tony Romas with a very swell pal of mine that I game with very often- as I speak I ponder the merits of relenting and buying myself a copy of CSGO despite my ever shrinking budget and wallet- finding out that you tend to be better studying outside has had it's pluses and it's minuses, the many demerits being that I run out of money fairly quickly and this hasn't been all too much of a good thing, I'll be entirely honest. I basically find myself studying in secret spots that not too many people go to so I can study and have a tea and just mug there all day. It hasn't been too bad, I suppose- at least I get time away from home and I'm not always in my house. I guess being at home makes me very lazy, because I (do) get very lazy when I am home.
Ramblings aside a very precious friend of mine has left for overseas, and I literally find this picture to be the last meal we had together before she went off. I don't like that my friends are / will eventually be all uprooting and leaving, because given my position, going overseas to study and see a world larger than this is difficult. In the end, my view into other cultures and societies is heavily restricted to just holidays. Which is already much better than some, and I am thankful for the opportunities I get. That said, this place had really good food- although I wish my stomach wasn't being as mean as it was, and I could have just eaten a little more. But no, this was very yummy and I had a good long chat with her. I miss her, but not much. And I'll say "not much" because I wouldn't want to burden her with my own emotions- what she is doing is good for herself and what she will be doing at the end of this will benefit many others. In that way, I suppose I cannot be selfish, and constantly remind her I wish she was here. I hope she's there, because if she's there she's a step closer to fulfilling a dream. And that is more pertinent than my own feelings.
I've been spending more time with my grandfather, who is slowly battling his cancer and his difficulties. My grandmother protects him like a child, but I still see him as my knight in shining armour and my playmate and all wonderful and fantastical things my grandfather is and was. He's such a special person. We go on walks together, last week we went to the Gardens by the Bay and saw a whopping total of 15 centipedes, more than I've ever seen in my entire life put together. I spent a lot of time on that walk whining about how I didn't bring a kite, because we all know Marina Barrage is the place to fly a kite. It's nice to get to spend time with him and make pointless jokes and eat random junk together. I guess it's only when the time is limited that you start grasping at it. It's too early in the morning to be regretting things though, so I shan't think about it too much.
Probably after this, I'll need to go and check where in the world my new bag is, and then start redo-ing the prelim papers at my Teacher's requests. If you've read my rambles up to this point, congratulations! I hope you have a fantastic day. If you didn't, no harm. have an equally fantastic day, but no cookies for you.
