I am 4 more months away from a totally new life;a life i seek to refresh myself from this mundane system that has only developed people into machines with just one idea - work and nothing else. the grand place that will give me new perspective is London, the United Kingdom.
I admit that going there, I would be on a solo mission to fit into the world out there. its really not so bad i guess. i mean there wont be AJCians or Zhssrians around in the crazy environment 14hrs away from home but its the exact place for me to make excellent frens from all around the world. this opportunity is strengthened with the fact that i will not be having any clique to start with; most people i have talked to tell me that singaporeans clump together in LSE/Imperial and its really sickening. i shall be the other loner half who mix with the alternate society but maintaining a link/support with the singaporean community.
its so exciting how things will turn out. apart from contemplating how will i fit into the community there, i guess i will haf to grapple with the westernised culture and its influence. of cos, i guess staying within my principles should do the work since the west do have positives to glean out and not always the bad which the old folks in singapore so happen to only know.
the travel that awaits makes me relook things all over again. London! how many will be able to stay in london for 3/4 full years, enjoying the culture there, walking all over the place, visiting old trafford, stamford bridge, the Stonehenge(sadly its being excavated at the moment) and many more. the transportation hub of europe, london! i will fulfill my dream of studying for a test while eating my breakfast in a cafe overlooking the Eiffel Tower. oh man, delicious dreams. all this will happen while the people, yes the people, are still ever struggling with their pace of life, scurrying through the MRT interchanges and listening to the same old people quibble over some simple problem made singaporean-ish.
I cant wait! its so amazing the minute i touch down, making my way alone to the accomodation. den life will begin there. LIFE.
