Some Like it Haute

sometimes i feel like i am ready to leave copenhagen. however, the thought of returning back to singapore is unfortunately not as well-received.

i feel like i have changed so much here and the thought of readjusting truly scares me. first, i have become academically unambitious. ask me what i will be doing in two years upon graduation and you will probably get a blank empty look from me. all i know is that i want to pick up spanish and travel to south america next summer. it will probably take a while to get used to the energizer-bunny momentum of school life but i so dread returning to an environment where everone is obessesed with the need to get onto dean's list.

i just read an email where a friend was detailing his univerisity plans to me and how glorious his cv was going to look after four years and i did not know whether to envy or despair at his single-track objective. right now, things such as internships, cv and gpa could be considered relics of the past.

irish claire recently lent me glamour uk and instyle magazines and i must say it has been a while since i paid so much attention to a fashion magazine. but the catchphrases are as novel as cold showers on as humid day.. how to love yourself more.. bag that man in three dates.. ten tips to fight that flab.. it is funny how back in singapore i used to get all hung up about diet/food pages but here, my dietary habits will have dr atkins somersaulting in his grave. ice cream every alternate sunny day, sushi or thai food every night, chocolate cake and cereal at two in the morning.. been there, done that and believe it or not, i have stopped beating myself up for eating irregularly frequent. though i am enjaving a ball, i am unsure of how my new lifetsyle will fit into the desired skinny-waif look that so many girls are proud owners of. honestly speaking, the last thing i want to experience is regret that i had enjoyed myself too much.

in a way, i will also definitely miss the life where i was accountable only to myself.

urgh. i got to face reality sooner or later.
