If You Take A Little Trip Around Singapore Town

...then you would be doing better than me! I was in town today for I believe the first time since that night's dinner at Chijmes with Elden and Wesley. Or, at any rate, in town with (a) friend(s), not with my parents, not alone en route to the NLB, not stuck with uninteresting people like myself. My disorientation with town, stemming from the nerdiness of my regular schedule and my penchant for staying at home and rotting, became all too apparent in one awkward impulse today. I asked, "Uhh is Library@Orchard still around?" Beat me for no-lifery! It's not bad enough not knowing the absence of something torn down 2 years ago. This something had to be the closest you could get to a nerdy venue in town. Utter uselessness.

Sometimes I wonder what I shall do after the IB exams and the HATs and the UCAS applications are through. Having lived with so much academic work for the past 2 years I am not sure if i can adapt to having days of just not studying. They would feel odd, feel as though something was distinctly lacking. The frustration of being put through so much work might find its recourse in the fact that for once I am doing work I am not being forced to do. Oh dear. I would really have no life then. Perhaps I should keep wondering.
