Really really should be in bed now but I'm too awake to sleep. Came back from choir about an hour ago and I've just unpacked my things, tried on my altered uniform (fits great now!) and sorted out a couple of things. Phew!

I'm currently on this course called PPPS - Public Policy Perspectives Seminar. It's a three day affair somewhere in NUS and it takes me 1.5 hours to get there. Today was pretty interesting, quite intense, and definately not my cup of tea. I don't know how I'm going to sit through another two days of policy discussion. It's so not my thing. Listen to music, teach music, write music, read poetry, take photos and write - yes. But public policies? Er.....

Anyway, I'm enjoying my break from school so far even though I still feel like I'm pretty busy. I am looking forward to next week where I'll get a few days to myself to do whatever I want - whether it's to go suitcase hunting or just spending the day in with nice music on, reading a good book and watching dvds. It's just too bad that John's attachment ends just when my holiday ends, and his holiday starts when my term starts. And not long after I'll be away for two weeks on competition with SYC. I'm looking forward to the trip, but it also makes me wish I were going on a trip with John too. I guess we can plan something for December - something nice to look forward to. :)

In general I think I'm feeling happier than I've been in a month or two. I'm just like that, I just need time off now and then to have the space and privacy to breathe, to think.

After choir just now the guys asked if I wanted to go for supper with the other TJ choir people from my batch as Donald's back on summer break from the States. He took up an EDB scholarship and went to the States to do his undergrad. Technically he's graduated but he's going to Princeton to do his Masters. What a smart guy. :) It was nice to spend some time with them, even though John wasn't there. Most of the time I'm there with the choir gang with him as they're his friends first and my friends second. But since joining SYC I guess they're my friends now as well. :) And they're actually very sweet people and are very nice to me. I never used to feel like I could get along that well with the gang in general but over the years seeing how they've stuck together and getting to know a few of them better personally, I feel so glad whenever they try to make me feel included. It's just too bad that one of us isn't going on tour, it would be nice if we all were.

My brain's so chock full of thoughts now that I want to think and write about but it's getting later and later. I haven't sorted out what to wear tomorrow, nor figured a more efficient way of getting to NUS. I'm not feeling so good right now, not even sure if I'll be up to going tomorrow.

Ok, I'm going to stop here and spend some time with my music and my thoughts. I think that's one of the things I miss the most about my time in London - having the luxury of time and space to really think and appreciate all the things I've experienced, seen, read, heard... Aren't I spoilt?
