thoughts...

sad to admit, but i realise that i'm a person who likes to live in the past. i can't help it, there are too many memories given to me. today i was at the rec center running, here's the list that i thought of:

1) when i first came to tucson, i had no car. among the 6 of us here, only louanne has a car then. once when clifton, mark, wenyang & i needed to get some food stuff, we decided to head to the supermarket. the guys carried their harvasacks with them while i have a basket on my bike. when we came back, you can see their bags full of stuff, and also plastic bags hanging from their bike handle. funny scene.

2) i like hanging out with the pilots. when i first came here, i wasn't homesick at all and it is largely due to them. they are a funny, interesting bunch of people. i remembered when i first got to know them, i hated them for their snobbishness. you can see their freaking proud face and nose hanging high high, and it takes a while to know them. however, once you get past that initial stage, it is downright fun and interesting. we go shopping, clubbing, eating and chilling out till the wee hours in the morning. i remembered once when i first started going clubbing with them, i noticed a very weird thing that they do. they will first buy their drinks and nobody talks to anyone UNTIL.... they have enough shots, then everyone start to laugh, talk rot and just have fun. waahh... the power of alcohol.

i was so upset when a few of them had to leave cause their training was up. they were really my good buddies here and pretty much like a family to me. i seem to be living in a dream world..no worries, just have to study, get good results and then have fun. by the way, they kind of set the standards as to what i expect from a guy. i didn't quite expect much of a 'gentlemancy' from singaporean guys but well what can i say, they are a unique bunch.
