Auckland habits
For starters, I have to admit that ever since I came back to Singapore, some of my actions and words are considered weird to the locals. One of which is my usual conversation pick up line that I used in Auckland 'So where you're from?'
I was trying to strike a conversation with a local and this was my first conversation and she looked at me with a puzzeled face and replied after I prompted her again and again 'Singapore lol'. This hit me real hard and for that moment, I realized that I am back in Singapore.
Other habits were the hiking habits that I picked up over there while trying to save money. My latest self record was walking from macperson mrt to city hall mrt. I pretty much proud of my bus 11 strength.
I never realized Auckland has such a huge impact on me, the other day where I let the television run, there was this program hosted by pornsak about the orgins of food and I saw the grey and white goose in the program and my heart is omg! thats new Zealand! but it turn out to be in Austrila.His hiking in the show makes me miss the hiking period that I did and all of a sudden, I just have that urge to hike around Singapore as well. Perhaps its like what May said: 'I'm sure you will find your way back here." which I'm certain am.
The third habit might be my lunch habit as the day is longer than in Auckland, I actually do have the need to prepare my lunch in case of any gastric acting up. My lunch box includes an apple or fruit/ one slice bread and a pack of hot make drink power. To the locals, they were like omg! this is certaintly not enough but to be honest my cravings disappear for the local food sold out there and when mum advise me to intake some rice and carbo as a balance, I actually cooked the dish my self: noodles with apples stir fry. Instead of 2 days, I find myself being able to share that normal portion to 3 days. Yes today is the 3rd day.
Note to self: I so need a mircowave, eating it cold is that awful!
Anyways, up to this point, no one tell me that I am weird but I could feel that to some I am weird. In the past, I would switch back to the norm but now I care less for it.
Life is never a single color but of multiples, this is the same for people in a country. I love my life style and I would want it to stay that way.Welcome to my life!
