Tribute to Adam Lambert

Dear Adam,

I am totally in love with you. And I don't know how long it'll last, or if it's just this massive crush that I'll never get over, but you are absolutely AWESOME. Like, amazingly AWESOME. Your music is fantastic (you're so versatile! all your songs sound different!) and you put so much emotion in them, so much intensity, and you really know who you are. It's like, off screen, you're such a sweet guy, this unassuming 28-year-old doing the interviews, and you keep yourself humble - no one could possibly guess you're the same guy on and off screen!

I feel inspired again, and it's the most wonderful feeling ever. I can write, I can jump, I can do any damn thing I want to. And for that, nothing, not even this post, shows exactly how much I thank you.

From your special fan,
Shu <3

Thank you xxx

The Big Love

Ding ding ding!

Know that, when I feel that urgent need to adapt in a foreign land, you're the ones I want to call up. Only you can straighten out my ideas and tell me to shut my mouth.

Know that, when I need validation of an identity, I think of you all. After years of growing up together, you've become like a lighthouse that flags me home whenever I stray.

Know that, when the weather is gloomy and making new friends is hard, I look through Facebook photos of all of us because they're like fuel that propels me headlong, keeping me going.

For Ranj - because you're my crazy babe :D

For Sarah - because you give me all the strength I'll ever need.

For Steph - because you're priceless, and you know it :P

For Gitz - because you're nothing short of brilliant.

I know we all move on, but the thing about Friendship is that it stays with you - continually grounding you, pushing you forward, cushioning your little falls. 

It's Friendship that's given me heart. Love you all <3

To come back, or not to

I mean, during Christmas. Should I? I mean, it really sucked last year when I spent my first Christmas away from home, but perhaps this time round, I'll be more prepared for the emotional (or non-emotional, for that matter) side of it.

Pros of coming back:
See family
See friends
December there is fucking cold (but that's all the way to April too)
Can spend New Year's here too
No lonely 3 weeks of nothing to do
Retake driving test (but can take next June-October)

Cons of coming back:
Leaving Elvina there alone
Wasting accommodation money
Have to come back next year anyway for Jo's graduation
Might not be able to practise and pass driving test

I hate thinking lah.

I'm the Coffee Writer

I love the way that sounds: Coffee Writer. Probably a little romantic on my part, but that's what girls do, no?

Anyway. The story I'm writing on Creative Heavens is going NOWHERE. Like, it's seriously getting on my nerves. Finally decided to cancel two recent chapters. Haven't gotten round to it 'cause it just hurts to cut out all that hard work.

But I guess it's editing. Try not to screw it up too much, won't you, Mitch? At least now you can turn back before you complete its disastrous transformation.

LoL

Teh Tarik Rocks

From one of those convenient little packets. Still awesome, though. Funny how I never liked teh tarik before.
