I shouldn't even be online, because I still have 16 pages of miniscule printing of the
The Economic Impact of Colonialisation on Southeast Asia (are you intimidated yet?) to digest. So far, what I've been doing is slumping in my chair, with my legs on the table, trying to read the notes like I would a storybook. And I just consumed 220g of calories- some Calbee potato thingamajig that Mr. KungFu Fighting brought over on that fateful morning. I shan't mention the event. Caught a glimpse of it on the front page of The Straits Times, and I had to avert my eyes in misery.
So I probably can't afford the half an hour or so mooning in front of the computer, but I can't really psycho myself to continue studying, at least not for now. I want to go running too, maybe tonight, after my Korean drama.
My favourite hobby is daydreaming, especially while studying. I don't do it on purpose of course, there's a reason why it's called daydreaming. Just today, the wind was blowing the day curtain all over the place, so I got up to tie it down, and then I stood by the window and marvelled at the sunlight, the blue skies, and the sweet scent that floated in on the breeze. You know how there are certain smells that bring you back to this certain period in your life? You could be walking along the street, and all of a sudden, you catch a whiff of a familiar smell, and you stop in your tracks. So I stood at the window and breathed and breathed, and random memories just appeared in my head. I must've stood there for a few minutes.
There are so many things I want to do. Apart from all the fun stuff like movies, shopping and sports, I want to go back to my kindergarten, primary school and secondary school. I don't know how anyone could not enjoy school, because I've loved it since forever. I would like to visit the basketball court in my primary school, the playground in my kindergarten, the quad, canteen and my old classroom in my secondary school.
I want to run, jump and dance to my own music, in golden pools of sunlight and waxy green leaves illuminated by the sunshine. I love summer, there are so many things waiting for me to do. I hope the good weather lasts for a little while more.
There are so many things I'd like to say. To you, above everyone else. For now, having the words in my head will suffice.
