Oh, wouldn't the world seem dull and flat with nothing whatever to grumble at? - W.S. Gilbert
Week 2... & I am still suffering from the aftermath of jetlag, sleepless nights and lethargi-city. I had grand plans that upon coming back, I would hone my culinary skills to even greater heights and read even more books to widen my perspective. But with week 2 coming to a close, these plans had remained a futile dream. The question is: "Will I regain the zest/energy to fulfill these "prophercies" I set myself?
Yes, I might never be able to fully recover from reminiscing fondly about this unforgettable 6 months I spent in Sverige. I might start irritating my friends a fair bit with the complaints about my sunny island and whining about wanting to go back to Sverige/turn back time. I might even fall into slight derange-ness and start blabbering gibberish to everyone just to comfort myself. But that is me... I am a passive-aggressive melodramatic queen, and by admitting that, I'm entitled to feel whatever hell I want (even if I did not admit, I am still entitled...I believe) & instead of fighting such emotions, I rather vent them all out, cos I know sooner or later, I will get over it. However, if I choose to suffer in silence, the slow stirrings of my heart would switch to turbo-mode & threaten to burst through the seams.
Ok! I am over-exaggerrating. But this is hardly unfair for someone who had just spent 6 best months of her life. Afterall, how many memorable 6 months in life can a person get? How many experiences can parallel my experience? I'm just very glad and thankful that I'm still considerably young and my brain, like the pensive in "Harry Potter", can still recall memories without too much of an effort.
Sunny island is good. Sunny and humid and overcrowded but still safe and clean and good. So good that I sometimes feel bad when I still dream of flight. I still wanna fly away from here. I wish I will never end up in a situation in which I get too comfortable in sunny island. Cos it will mean that my dream of flight will have to take a backseat. Still so many other things I wana write...but I shall remain ambiguous for now. I love the element of mystery.
End of rant. I know it might sound random. Abrupt even. But it feels quite good. I promised to keep this a brief affair. Until I am more inspired...here's Steven Tyler's sexy lips for you!

FLY AWAY FROM HERE
by Aerosmith
Gotta find a way
Yeah, I can't wait another day
And nothin' gonna change
If we stay around here
Gotta do what it takes
Cause it's all in our hands
We all make mistakes, yeah
But it's never to late to start again
Take another breath
And say another prayer
Then fly away from here
Anywhere
Yeah, I don't care
We'll just fly away from here
Our hopes and dreams are out there somewhere
Won't let time pass us by
We'll just fly
If this life
Isn't hard enough
It ain't no nevermind
You got me by your side
And anytime you want
Yeah, we can catch a train and find a better place
Yeah, cause we won't have nothin' or no one keep gettin' us down
Maybe you and I
Could pack our bags and hit the sky
Then fly away from here
Anywhere
Yeah, I don't care
We'll just fly away from here
Our hopes and dreams are out there somewhere
Won't let time pass us by
We'll just fly
Didn't you see your blue sky now
You could have a better ride now
Open your eyes
Cause no one here can better or stop us
They can try but we won't let them
No way
Maybe you and I
Could pack our bags and say goodbye
Then fly away from here
Anywhere
Honey, I don't care
We'll just fly away from here
Our hope and dreams are out there somewhere
Fly away from here
Yeah, anywhere
Honey, I don't, I don't, I don't care
We'll just fly away

because I so totally am
ONE Owning a cafe/beach pub is my biggest dream TWO Wanderlustic soul. A life without geographical transition would depress me tremendously. THREE A Happy Drunk FOUR Hate activities that require sun exposure. So I exercise only at evenings/nights. FIVE Tend to keep my room tidy when I live alone but it's extremely untidy when I'm living with someone. SIX Can do a mean swing. The playground sort. Watch me fly. SEVEN 12-hour sleep days are ideal for me EIGHT Do not leave me with a pair of scissors, I'll start snipping hairs NINE Really wanna travel to N.America, S.America, Russia and Africa TEN Closet escapist ELEVEN Hypersensitive to body language (to a point of reading too much) TWELVE Don't be surprised to see me smiling to myself, I often conjure laughable scenarios in my head THIRTEEN The word "fuck" is like "shit" & "damn" to me. Is it even vulgar? FOURTEEN Eats hash browns with maple syrup, fries with ice-cream & curry sauce with everything (you should follow me to Mc D sometimes) FIFTEEN
Cooks awesome. I should cook more. But I don't. Except when living alone.
