more old fashioned hawker center swarming yesterday. descended upon Adam Rd (old haunt back in JC), got temporary confused by the circular layout, but proceeded to gobble down 3-4 courses. looked down after the meal and discovered my paunch is back.
met up with The Geleng, after the bugger had graduated and gone off traipsing in India for a while. Of course, being my best brlader he is, he gave me a souvenir from Darjeeling. No it wasn't their famed tea. It was a box of Kama Sutra brand condoms, free with a tiny bottle of cologne ("practice safe sex dey.. and ribbed for comfort ley" he said).
....
not that i have prior experience with those things. and in his bag, he had a small box of the famed Darjeeling tea i would have killed for. He wanted to give it to his scholarship officerc/zampolit ("never hurts to carry the balls of my breadmasters") , but after she chewed his ass upside down over the F-1/J-1 visa screw up Purdue somehow pulled off, I think the tea leaves are going down his own cup in the near future. *shrug*
bugger is in love though, i can tell. but he's balless, so i spent the whole afternoon/evening convincing him to do something about it.
it was nice and rainy too, so i also spent the whole afternoon telling him why the tropical drizzle (not the full fledged pail of water splashing down on you type that leaves you totally drenched within 3-seconds of exposure) was and still is my favorite weather back home.
it aint hot, and it aint wet. sure it might be gloomy, but you can't be completely happy init?
and maybe thats my state of mind now.
i might be enjoying life here with no looming lab matters nor the ceaseless midterms threatening to chew me up, but even so, i sorta miss people and places back in Madison.
but then again, we all make tradeoffs don't we. its good and bad. and well, my life (so far) has been a bloody patchwork of good and bad.
but still i miss somebody.
