routine
it's amazing how people get used to everything and anything foreign, the things that upset their 'normal' way of life, so easily. no matter how different this place is from singapore..the cold..the inaccessibility..the ridiculously high cost of living..the norwegian that i don't understand a single bit of..how shops are closed on sundays..how the day turns to night by 4pm..how there's no one to cook for me anytime i want to..the small school..the foreign languages spoken by people..the alcohol intake..the parties..the time zone..the food..the culture..everything..i have gotten used to it. i have formed a routine out of everything. and i am actually loving the way i am here and the people i am with. and now everything seems 'normal' to me despite how foreign they are.
i miss singapore..but i also love the way things are here. i don't know and don't wanna imagine how it would be when the time comes that everyone here has to go back to where they came from. even though i'm still not an alcohol-lover..i'm still not the WOOHOO LET'S GO PARTY kinda person..though i'm still getting used to and discovering new things about the place and people. 6 months is a really short time. it seems to me that i'm already going back to singapore soon. oslo this weekend..london 2 weekends later..then perhaps somewhere else..then it's the easter holidays in april..when i'm back it's preparation for exams..then it's exams..and then it's june holidays travelling time..and then i'm back to singapore.
treasure the time i have here. that's the only thing i can do. before reality confronts me yet again with its brutality.
