Just ended my Skype conversation with my lovely whore friends who are in Korea now!
I seriously think they're having the time of their life right now.
They went there about 2 weeks earlier to Korea before their school term so... they've about a week more to tour around Seoul. So shiok!
Korea is a damn up and coming place now, exchange in GEM is so hot and spaces are all quickly taken up phee yoo.
Can't wait to speak to them again, though I won't have much time to do so, soon. But wow, technology is amazing. I feel like an ape-man but occasionally, I am in awe with tech. To see each other through video in real-time across land and oceans! Ah-ma-zing.
Anyway,
This is me and a stick I brought home from Thailand
Posted it on my Thai friend's wall to tell her I still have it with me. It was when we jogged and strolled along this stretch of ulu road around her Lamphun neighbourhood one of those early mornings. And I picked it up and kept it as a souvenir. I still fondly remember that jog. The sisters have been 'like'ing and commenting on pictures on facebook and posting on my wall on random days. So nice and cute of them to do so. Like they bother to try to keep up with our lives and plant lil things here and there.
Recently, actually just yesterday, my China cousin sent me an email to ask me "How are you?". She knows my mandarin is not brilliant and bothered to type that phrase in English to me. Albeit a simple one, the fact that she even BOTHERED to email me and ask was very nice of her.
I have to admit, I never really thought of initiating any such conversations, thinking I'm too caught up in this and that. And of course, feel guilty that all these people from everywhere else around the world are trying to stay connected in small, subtle manners. I am touched.
Even Seungha, the exchange student from Korea whom my hall friends and I met last sem would like and comment on pictures every now and then. In the same position, I might've merely glanced.
It is endearing to me, that people I've met briefly and a short moment in my life, genuinely seem to want to know how I'm doing.
Is it just me or is it a Singaporean thing? That we just get on with our own lives, thinking we're busy, and forget about trying to keep up sometimes.
