Irony.

Sometimes I read through my blog archives (not this one, the other one) so that I can see my growth as a writer, or something like that. Today, I found this. Written in Jan '08

In retrospect....this is the most irony I've ever seen.

shitty situations.

Ah, Postsecret always finds ways to touch me.

You know what's messed up? When you kinda want someone, who you had a taste of a while ago...and someone ELSE, who you liked a REALLY long time ago wants you. As if that isn't messed up enough, what's even MORE messed up is when you have one of those hazy morning dreams with BOTH of them in it, and the one you want tells you that you can't talk to him any longer because he feels guilty or something (ironically, this is what the OTHER one said to YOU all that time ago) and so he can't be around you and then you go rushing into the arms of the one who wants you and it gets all hazy and you cry a lot.

What's messed up is that this is NOT the first dream I've had about these two. Or at least, the one I wanted. And thought I didn't care about.

What's messed up is that I may have slightly damaged my friendship with the one I wanted, at least it doesn't feel the same or that's just me obsessing, I suppose.

I hate it when real life interferes in my dreams like this. 

After the rain...

What to do when going to Jurong Bird Park, Singapore: Take some money, a bottle of water, and a really good camera, with a zoom lens if possible, with charged batteries. Wear REALLY comfortable shoes.


What NOT to do when going to Jurong Bird Park, Singapore: Forget the memory card of the camera.


Yeah. That happened. We reached Jurong yesterday, I turned on the camera and it said No Card. AND I'd forgotten my ixus. We survived the rest of the day with a Kodak disposable film camera, and my cell phone cam. And every pretty bird we saw, we mourned our stupidity.


AND, about fifteen minutes in, it started PISSING rain, and we had to wait it out for an HOUR. 


But after it stopped, the park was beautiful, and so were the birds.


Today, however, more than made up for yesterday's malheureusement. Singapore Zoo is beyond beautiful, so much that it doesn't feel like a zoo at all. It's a lot of walking, but we got some excellent photos out of it, and even though it rained for a while, it was so pleasant, walking in what was basically a misty rainforest. It did turn humid-as-hell, though. But Kay got some beautiful shots of a white tiger swimming, and some frolicking ducks, and I snapped a Capuchin monkey as he and Kay made faces at each other. (Photos to come soon)


On my last night in Singapore (The flight doesn't count) I finally had one of those specialities: the Singapore Sling. Quite good, mixed too darn strong though. As for the other two specialities....I'll try and have chicken rice for lunch  tomorrow, and I can't have chili crab because I don't eat seafood.


Remember when two months weren't over yet? Now they nearly goddamned are. Only two weeks left and my lovely vacation will be over. I've had SUCH a good one this time, I'm almost dreading going back to college. Those two weeks better be the longest, funnest, craziest two weeks of the vacation. I know classmate reunions will happen, and hopefully some good times with the rest of the crowd too.


I just...want those two weeks to last forever. Go on another vacation. Why not?

Never.
