i know i don't really have to but i'm waking up at 2:37-freaking am here in London just to check my company email because if i wake up at 8:37 it'd be close to the end of the work day in SG already and i would have absolutely no time to respond to clients/fieldwork agencies should there be some major last minute demand/delay/emergency.

i don't know why but the sun being elusive and setting early and it being dark and cold here most of the time is a bit depressing- now i know what Celia meant when she was waxing lyrical about having four seasons here.

i suppose the 5 year old me had no idea what i was in for when i formulated the my childhood dream-

'i want to go to iceland'

god, what time does the sun set there in winter? 4pm?

and i also hate how my lips, scalp and skin cracks rather easily here (is it normal?)

maybe humidity can be a blessing in disguise.

--------------------------------------------------

was listening to the mixtape that i'd gotten from A before i flew (i totally just laughed out loud when i saw there was a song called 'your english is good'), then i realised in the songs was the song called 'tree hugger' that was playing in the background throughout the movie 'Juno' and it brought back memories of me sitting in the cinema with my friends, watching the movie,

and how after the movie everyone loved it but i hated it?

i don't know, does that happen to you? everybody just loves something,

but you really just can't figure out why, and you try your very best to like it because people try to convince you to do so, but your gut just doesn't like it. period.

(Lady gaga is not one of those things- i have never even tried to like.)

but anyway-

that's not my point.

In the past Nono used to send me songs randomly, and once in a while i'd get a few songs that i actually really liked and would save them on desktop and play them quite often but we had a mutual understanding that song choice is a rather personal thing that can't really be imposed on other people that's how thing's are still-

it'd always been my secret dream to have a chance encounter with someone with a playlist that's 80-90% similar to mine, and we'd hit it off immediately, and we could gush about the same songs, artistes, genres, and it would make me insanely happy,

but it just never happened.

i guess it's just one of those things that are over used as a plot device in movies, dramas and tv but never really happens much in real life?

oh well.
