Did you know?
Some 20 schools in Australia will be closed and children were forced to stay at home due to the threat of bushfires. It's so bloody hot!
Doing nothing more than typing on my computer is stimulating enough to activate my sweat glands. It's SUCH A HOT DAY today and it makes me wonder if the tiny bushes in my backyard would be able to withstand it. I was quite concerned so I went to water them in the morning, just in case. I mean, what if a fire breaks out? I would have lost my house! Oh, offf course I am concern about the well-being of the plants. It's just that, I am more so of my physical possessions.
Anyhow, I hope everyone is safe and comfortable back home. School's starting next week and I'm all geared up for it! Marketing's tomorrow, and I'm sorry Elisa but ice-cream is definitely on the list.

Updates (yes, again)
1) Going to school was great fun. I'd spend half an hour walking there, half an hour to get my things done, and half an hour walking back. And don't get me started with the heat.
2) Now that I've moved out of The Village, there are many things I find different. One of which involves classifying your garbage. This will be made a lot simpler if they have different colours for different garbage. At where I stay, the normal rubbish goes into the red bin, the recyclables goes into the yellow bin and the plant materials (eg leaves, grass, etc) goes into the green bin. HOWEVER, the bins just off where I live, along the main road, are for general rubbish, BUT THEY'RE GREEN!
3) I had a lot of fun stomping on cardboard boxes today! Cos the furniture I've bought from ikea came in large cardboard boxes, I had to try and fit them into the comparably smaller yellow bin. So I resorted to stepping, folding, and stepping again on them.
4) I perhaps should also mention that I have finished assembling a study desk, a wardrobe, a chest of drawers, and a bed, all by myself if I may add. Talk about independent living.
5) I wanna eat ice-cream but I cant have it because it'll melt by the time I reach home. Why is it so hot?!!

To Singapore
Dear Singapore,
I am leaving. I am leaving you for a hotter place where house flies thrive, where people greet you randomly on the streets, where the air is dry and where " How are you going" doesn't exactly mean that. Dear Singapore, I am leaving.
Please take care of yourself while I am gone. Keep your people safe and healthy, your city vibrant and alive, your song loud, and always resounding in the hearts of those who have to go away. Dear Singapore, I am leaving.
I will miss all the good food that have nourished me since I was young, the strong land which brought me up to who I am and the lovely people who will stay by me no matter what happens. Dear Singapore, I am leaving.

Heya!
Hey everyone! Just some quick updates.
I have quit my job. (For real, this time)
My 21st birthday party was a success. A big "Thank You!" to all that turned up. And thanks for the great gifts!
I am leaving in less than 4 days time and I don't wish to count down to that.
I'll probably catch a movie on Monday cos I haven't been to the movies for the longest time. Are there any great movies to recommend, anyone?
