Singapore

yay so I've been here for three days and its so amazing!!! It's so clean and contemporary and diverse but the heat is satanic :-( :-( and the humid only exacerbates this as it does to the frizz of my spirals :(

Monday was really nice because we didn't do much in particular just sweqed around the city and its so beautiful!!!!!!

Aunty's bae's apartment is v nice and there is an infinity pool 💗

After lunch - olive rice for me-  my father, aunt and I went on the Singapore 'flyer' aka plagiarised London eye which provided an insightful perspective however would have been unenvisageable at night 👌 Thereafter, we sat on the promenade and drank some coconut water and it was just an invigorating moment of benevolence:

The revitalising cool breeze, my permeating shadow; the radiating waves of my hair an oscillating an ominous silhouette: d'une ombre (shadow). Subsequently we went to a hotel cafeteria and drank some oriental green tea which I immediately regretted because despite the caffeine buzz even in the air conditioned drinking establishment I was still perspiring; the heat of the fluid only exacerbated this. However, considering it's over 30 degrees (doubled by the humidity and the newfound density of my hair) I probs shouldn't be wearing jeans all the time :((( but to exploit les jambes is to reveal the internal abhorrence, thus one must continue to conceal, despite the abhorrence of the feels. Whilst drinking, we discussed if I've decided to move in with my dad yet. My dad said he was sorry for telling his sis and hoped I didn't mind, just wanted her to understand if I may seem a little 'distant' , to which I was like 'no it's okay thanq actually bcus she can relate bcus her boyf wants her to move to Singapore but she loves Hong Kong thus relatable' but really I was thinking 'YES THANK YOU SO MUCH MY IRREVOCABLE INABILITY TO SUSTAIN CONVERSATION AND NOT BE SO SUPERFLUOUSLY AWKWARD ALL THE TIME WILL APPEAR JUSTIFIED🙌🙌🙌' 

In the evening the four of us (dad, aunt, aunt's boyf and I) went to a pub and they had a sack of peanuts on each table. Prior to leaving (after having eaten at least a quarter of a kilogram bag) I literally stuffed ALL my pockets with handfulls of peanuts!!!!!!!!!! The repercussions of which prevailed when they began to weigh down my jeans and when I sat down and they all shattered and fragmented :-( guess I got what I deserved. Usually when I abuse the generosity in similar situations one is much more clandestine; on Monday I didn't even care how overtly I was doing it. Last week at the dentist they had a box of small tubes of toothpastes with a sign saying 'pls take one per pertson'. But, capitulating to the temptations of my gluttonous desires - as well as enjoying the benevolence of abusing the NHS - I devised a covert plan to obtain as many as possible: step one - deploy distractions; 'go to the toilet' (whilst passing, take two). step two - ensure the two tubes are covertly concealed before leaving and slyly slide another one whilst returning to your seat. step three: ask mother to smuggle what you have so far: step five - ultimate revelation: the mother reveals that there was a camera watching me the entire time (as well as client witnesses, their faces an interspersion of bewitchment, bewilderment, but also a sense of surreptitious admiration of my audacity).

It's transcendental here but I've so much on my mind; there's just certain people I can't stop thinking about, not even at night in the shadow realms of dreams.

But what I love about this place is the smells: one can continually smell food!!!! There seems to be a perpetual aroma of rice lingering ubiquitously, interspersed with an oriental sent of coffee and tea
