i have been spending time doing things. important things, in my opinion. like pretending to be a backpacker in my own country and walking around in a big backpack and slippery teva slippers. i am amazed by time (and the hurriedness of it all) - so taking time off to walk around places and spaces have been most fulfilling and weird atthesametime. 

i think there’s something indescribable about a heavy backpack and pretending to be a stranger in your own country. funny also when backpacker inns say youcannotstayhere because you are local. ?!?! i would have – sit down and read a lonelyplanet guide - if they would let me. maybe i should pretend to say i am singaporean but i do not live here anymore. harhar.

i also find myself getting increasingly frustrated with gravel. (i hate my slippers with no grip!) especially when they keep slippingANDsliding in the rain.

but but but today: amongst a lot of other things

a. i was sitting and hurrying through work stuff and i wonder what will happen when katie leaves. 

b. i also think i might not be able to set off on my decemberadventure. there are moments and periods and fleetingseconds where i am reminded of bathing in rivers but i will detach myself from the story until.

c. i wonder how r&k&c - athousandtimesover.

still, the days have been exciting. i see things/situations/opportunities i have never seen before, and aboveitall, i am v.happy the rain has come.
