and this is why i NEED to get out of singapore for university. i love singapore and all, don't get me wrong. i will probably end up freezing my ass off in some random ang moh country craving for chicken rice and laksa and char kway teow and roti prata and zhi char, missing those times where librarians tell us "please keep your volume down, you are still in a library" (no shit, sherlock) and hearing people pepper their speeches with lahs lors and lehs.
but still, i want to run free and see the world.
before that happens, i will remain unsophisticated and unworldly, but i will tell myself that that's okay.
