s'pore 2.0

it took me 1 hour to pack.  45 minutes to move.  and 10 minutes to find wireless internet connection to steal.  and now i enter s'pore 2.0.  taking the first step out of urban nomad-ism, breaking free from nagg, and ignoring all rules and regulations placed upon me in that "expected" sense, in which it might give me complete freedom to do what i was intended to do.  "what was written for me in the stars."  that grandiose, larger scale of conquest i've been dreaming about for the past 8 years. 


it's interesting to get a dose of your own medicine, to hear your own advice re-iterated to yourself in the same tone, same objective logical matter-of-fact conversation.  and it's poignant that only very specific individuals can have that effect on oneself.  these commrades of aid do not follow the normal prerequisites of friendship history, but rather, for me, are the ones that somehow, someway (and tiringly so) marry into your family and find themselves staring inwards at a parallel universe from the outside looking in, giving that perfect string of needed rationale and perspective right when i'm about to start s'pore 2.0.  thank u alpalsuperstar.


dear alvin and everyone else (that feels they need an explanation or wants more elaboration) - i know it may seem like i don't like living in s'pore, and if u read this blog, u might think that i complain about it all the time, but other than the fact that im a big critique about everything and the "yaya papaya" in me makes it too easy to complain about dr cocto's (LKY's) perfect society, there really isn't anything to really complain about when living in s'pore.  it's been argued that i don't give the boredom a chance to flip the switch, but really, i think my tolerance for any situation is pretty high, just let me rant to rant, and all-in-all i can pretty much live on bare necessities and essentially (other than my array of facial products) i have been.  i deal with my ADD as needed.  the root of all annoyance really comes from the same thing it's always come from....torturously horrendous familial backlash.  (at times i tell myself im just exaggerating until others confirm the pitt of stifled-hell....dOH)

2.0 dammnit.
