Spin me faster like a kaleidoscope

I got an enthusiastic "GUAPA!" greeting on MSN from Tania last night & it made me so happy. Within a split-second, I was transported back into my dingy room in Hazelfarm back in Guildford and Tania was probably going to tell me of some fun-filled plans to hang out afterwards. Unfortunately, reality bites and obviously I could only wish for that to happen. But it does feel like i'm missing exchange alot now, as it was exactly one year ago that I was trying to settle in UniS. It might be brought on by all the talk about their impending exchange programmes by other schoolmates and some friends who are heading back soon to start uni this fall semester.

I wished i was back there, living on my own, only answerable to myself. My worries consisted of planning my travels, catching the connecting trains and flights on time and making sure that I still had enough money to last the rest of the year. I guess it was one of the many ways to escape reality - leaving the stressful and monotonous rat race in Singapore to wilfully devote time & resources to fulfilling all your whims & fancies in an exotic environment. Yet on the other hand, it might seem overwhelmingly glamourous with the jet-setting around via ryanair, the journey's often peppered with travel fatigue, unmet overhyped-expectations and a sorry budget-mindful penny-counting existence.

Hmm... in contrast, now i'm merely uni-fatigued, have zero expectations about my school term, and still carefully penny counting. Havn't my situation been improved by leap & bounds? Haha. At times like this i do think that I'm such a spiteful and greedy child. I ought to be given a newspaper column to write about my daily complaints - I will be rich - as a professional complaint generator. Have I mentioned how annoying the neighbouring construction site has been???!!! They have been drilling or piling 87236734908341 tonnes of stuff into the the ground and my house feels like being on the epicentre of a non-stop-4days-long earthquake. ^%$#%%&*^@#$%^&*!!!

Feel free to try out this awesome complaint generator!

or to the English! :D
