why are bagels not a thing in sg?

writing blogposts helps me to keep my weeks in check. it feels like everything is passing by in a whirl, just cos school is so busy and i just focus on getting through the day, that the weeks and months pass by without me knowing it. it hit november a couple days back. and i just sat on my bed repeating "it's november". this year has been the most unconventional just because it wasnt a full year of school, but a couple of things all thrown together. jan to may was internship with aeb, travelling in june, church camp, driving from june till august and meeting up with people, oh and of course moe interviews and stuff, then rehearsals, then i flew here - getting into school, moving into dorms, parents leaving, starting school, getting used to the routine of everything, finding a church, going for intervarsity stuff, meeting up with santi, helping out for citc pulse, boston, winnie coming, fallconf, two huge crits, a couple of times of attempting to explore the city in between and here i am now. listing everything out seems to be a huge huge sigh of relief, and takes the weight off how madly insane the past 10.5 months have been. and by now, i mean sitting on the ugly purple couches at sharp eating a bagel.

i've been here for 12 weeks and there are 6 weeks left before home. just spoke to en for 2 hours and it's so nice to hear "home" and "acceptance" and "it's okay" and "love" again. if i were to be deserted on an island i'd choose her to come with me. we'd live on laughter, and joy, and tears and it'd be a blast.

i don't really feel like writing anymore so i'm going to stop here. also, here's a song for you. i was playing songs on my phone because there's no data in the trains and i have been intending to get spotify premium but have not done it. and chanced upon this corrinne may song, that tugged at my heart strings. also, reactivated my askfm, you can find me at http://ask.fm/tingyannn :) have a good rest of the week everyone!
