Everything’s different when you hear your favorite song on the radio. Especially when it’s an old song that hasn’t hit the airwaves in a while. Suddenly, you’re transported back to the years when it did and, while subsisting in your current state, that’s a freeing feeling. You transcend space and time just with a song, even if it’s just for those three or four minutes.

After driving on the KJE/PIE and arriving in hall, my dad hugged me goodbye and I don’t know why but I just felt so tired and old at that moment. Like all of a sudden I’m no longer a kid and now I’m the one driving the family around. (Although it’s not like I’m doing a good job at that ha.)

Last night, Megs, Chris and I went to see Jer’s band perform. Pretty cool stuff. It was like we entered some underground music scene. Jer’s band and this other band were not bad.

just an update: been quite MIA from instagram and living a hectic but unproductive lifestyle this semester. Got some film developed though! Had to edit this because I didn't like the colors.

Yesterday after class, I headed to NUS with Operation Return Book and meet Sophie to study for a while. Saw Adeline on my way to utown and bumped into Chanel on my way to Arts.

And then I had a night out with Cheryl, Amanda and Osmond, with dinner at iSteaks and ice-cream at The Daily Scoop. Had some deep personal sharing about what’s going on in our lives and overall it was nice to spend time with them :-)
