Counting down
11th August 1999

You'd learn something new everyday:
Both my parents have fine hair, while mine is thick and wavy. Argh...why??
I'll be flying off to Illinois next Monday. I'm not quite ready yet. Or maybe I am. I don't know.

For now, I know 3 people going there too. 2 of them are girls. One of them I've known as an acquaintance since RGS times, who's a really nice girl. But I doubt that we'll develop any further, simply because she's studying psychology and me engineering. Too out of the way for me.

The other girl, L, was also from RGS. Although I've seen her around, we've not really been properly introduced. Instead, she's quite close to Po Chin. Anyway, she called me yesterday and we talked quite a bit. Actually, it was more like her interviewing me, and then concluding that I'm full of crap. [Hmm, you mean one conversation is all it takes to tell? Hmm..] I'm not very sure if we'll actually "click" until we actually meet. So I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

The last one is the guy I met at the NACLI camp. We also talked quite a bit. He sounds really nice and easy to talk to. Hehe. We'll be going out tomorrow. So I'll just see how it goes. I've better not humiliate myself tomorrow. I'm known to do embarrassing things when it matters the most. Or actually, I do embarrassing things all the time anyway...erm...never mind....

I've not packed yet, I've not bought my calculator yet, I've not cleaned out my cupboard yet..blah blah blah. L commented once that I sound like I'm very prepared. Hah! I think I'm not mentally prepared, though I've very systematically been preparing for my departure for the past 2 weeks.

Today, I was buying rojak for my mom at this kopitiam when it suddenly struck me that I won't get to eat this local dish for the next 1 year at least. What about fishhead bee-hoon? The nonya cakes? chicken rice? Argh. Now I know what they mean by craving for Singaporean food when overseas. And I've not even left yet. Argh.

It's weird, seeing my huge suitcase sitting in my room, full of things that will fill up my hostel room thousands of miles away 5 days from today. Something just doesn't click. Like my things will be there, but not me. I know I don't sound logical, but that's what I'm feeling.

Full of crap, as usual
