how do you know you're s'porean? when you spend one hour wondering around campus at night on a scavenger hunt. see, maybe it has something to do with us s'poreans still searching for our own unique identity or something, but we're the only people i know who are so fond of going from place to place because a piece of paper directed our footsteps there. oh, plus you add a paper lantern lit by a birthday cake candle and the picture is complete, all in the name of fun...
we were really celebrating mid-autumn festival, and the scavenger hunt was the precursor to eating the mooncakes. berkeley equation: work out minus eat yourself silly equals hopefully no net gain in weight. though somehow i don't think it works out that way.
but anyway, it was fun, despite my cynical description of it. in a juvenile, "tell me why i'm doing this again ha ha?" kind of way. at least i got to eat mooncakes! (and not cold, hard ones...my kind parents are fond of keeping mooncakes in the fridge for me to eat when i'm back in s'pore on holiday, so i'm used to eating...ahem...one year old mooncakes? ha)
it was painfully hot last night. was trying to sleep but i just couldn't coz of the heat...went through the movie-style tossing and turning and finally decided to get up and open the window (always close it at night coz otherwise it's really noisy, i'm near the road and frat houses so there's always trucks and drunks making a nuisance of themselves). finally managed to fall asleep, dreamland was no cooler...
today looks like it's going to burn again.
