20070112 - i got birds in my ears;

So i'm back in Bloomington, B-Town, lil town in the middle of nowhere where you're surrounded by cows & cornfields..you get the drift.

Thought it'd take long to settle back into life here but it took off pretty quick! Think that's partly down to the fact that i kicked jet lag's butt..HARD! Was afraid that it would take some time to get the jet lag out of the system, but a little bit of self discipline and it was over in one night. Forced myself to stay awake after reaching my dorms at around 4pm (which was 5am back in Singapore). Managed to do that, and fell into coma sleep at around 830pm. As expected, i woke up in the middle of the night at around 4am, but forced myself back to sleep and woke up at 930 the next morning. And just like that....jet lag's gone!

Leavin' this time was very much easier than the first, though still hard. No one likes to leave the comfort of home. But i tried lookin' on the bright side - that what i had in the states was pretty good as well! Kinda figured out that with less people sending me off, it'd probably be much easier to leave. So didn't really let other people in on my flight details. But somehow, it still got out and a handful of people came to send me off. And i reallly appreciate it! Thanks you guys, you know who you are.

Think i had a very nice time back home, albeit only for 3 weeks (or less). Having the family around was always nice. So were meeting friends, eating, chilling and all that good stuff. Not forgetting the jibes that i got fat - though quite annoying at times, it was still kinda fun la. Just for the record.... I'm not that FAT! I think i definitely got fatter over in Singapore. Wah the amount of McNuggets i consumed is insane. Never had that many nuggets before. Though what i had was nothing compared to what idiots like Jiaxiang had - he's gonna get nugget poisoning or something one day. Seriously.

The next time i get back, thing's are probably gonna be abit different. Aside from the longer trip (4 months babeh!), there'll be familiar faces that will be gone. Either sucked up by the army, stolen by Australia or just plainly prevented from the meeting some others. But i'll have more time to annoy people! And i'll probably be able to drive abit more (legally now, of course). But then there's more familiar faces to be welcomed back - Kenneth & SiuRui! we missed you guys here!

But for now, there's school to go through for some, BMT to go through for others, emotional heartbreak to get over for yet others and some knocking-sense-into to be given to some (vern! STUDY LA).
