I refer you, dear reader to this post. I think I no longer need to rehash my thoughts in great detail; instead, I shall simply point to two things which I had expected, one with a little more reason to than the other, which, now not being, have made being deliciously exciting and terrifyingly unfathomable. The first is my opportunity to study this year via an oms scholarship; this is the one with less reason because not getting the score I had worked with all that I was for, I knew it was, with the rest of my efforts, a lofty height that I had been working towards with almost all of my school days. The second is ocs, which I've devoted numerous posts to on this blog. This one has more basis because, with a little bit of physical effort, everything else was already in place; it's truly a medical incompatibility that left me hanging. Funny how two 3-lettered acronyms separated by just one little alphabet conjure up such similar thought patterns in our local context where this demographic (I shall leave the preceding adjective to your imagination, but there is very little guess work needed) is concerned.
And now for the ritual of numbered points, this time truly a random assortment:
1. I shall highlight 3 purchases I've made recently: a) a truly obnoxiously large dessert prata at Simpang on Sunday which, while being able to feed 6, cost me only $7, b) a simple bowl of fishball noodle which reminded me of the joy of how it is the most humble foods (fishball noodle and chicken rice come to mind) that are the lowest common denominator, and c) an ostentatious bottle of Evian Swiss Mineral Water which was produced on the date of my first IB paper and expires on the day I officially ord.
2. The Circle Line that now gets me to Bishan in 4 minutes is quite intriguing because of just how large the whole project is. I find myself oddly fascinated by these new additions to familiar landscapes, particularly my home vicinity and town (have you seen just how different it is now, sheesh).
