I need help! Seriously. I sooooo wanna get out of here. I wanna stay in a country with four seasons. Then, there'll always be new outfits (for the upcoming season) to put together and look forward to wear. Then, there'll be the romantic atmosphere of falling autumn leaves and fun ski trips. Ugh! This is my goal - work in a country with four seasons!
Work is so-so. I met an elderly couple at work today and they mentioned they were going to Tioman, which is Pulau Tioman(an island off Malaysia). They were going to take the airplane directly from Singapore to Tioman. I went there last year and couldn't get the seats for this flight and had to take a treacherous and horrible route to reach the island.
I took a coach bus from a reknown travel agent and the service was crap. The guide was rude and unconcerned about his tour group and the pit stop was disgusting! Everything about the pit-stop put me off especially the twenty over flies flying around my legs and the food and the floor. Eew! If I wasn't starving I wouldn't even get out of the coach. Then to top that gross and long journey to the ferry terminal in Malaysia, my friend got into an argument with the guide, who was a complete asshole, and I was honestly scared out of my wits because 1. we were outnumbered (just the two of us), 2. it was my first time travelling without my family.
During the last and most heated up argument, I just wanted to call my mom and get my arse back to Singapore because the whole holiday mood was ruined. And, it was a few hours by ferry to reach Tioman. It's really kampong but the resort we stayed at was huggggeeee. There was a golf course and lots of open green land. We did snorkling(totally awesome!) for the first time and I am totally fascinated. I think if I had a change to go diving, I would practically jump out of my skin in excitement! (just exaggerating!)
My friend can ride a motorcycle so we rented one and rode around the island and had a good look at the residents house and had lunch at a local restaurant. The pace of living style was much slower than Singapore and it's what I'd call 'the simple life'. I'd like a taste of simple life someday but now, I'm just focused on reaching my goal. :)

21! 21! 21! 21! 21
Hurray to adulthood!~ I'm 21 already. Being 21 spells independence and freedom, though I'm just still the same person like I was the day before. I'm enjoying 'being an adult' but on the other hand, I just don't wanna grow up and take responsibility of my life and BE mature.
These are exactly the reasons why I like to steal into my own dreamland and reminisce of my childhood - living life carefreely with no worries about politics with people and my future, only caring about having fun and watching cartoons.
It was the best time of my life so far! :D
Anyway, I had the best birthday ever. I'm not really into making-a-huge-fuss-over-birthday-celebrations kinda person so I just had a cosy gathering with my family at Prego. We've been going there for special occasions since I was young and I know that's one place I won't regret spending my 21st birthday at because I have some nice memories there.
