feels like home

the flowers have come to bloom (did that even make grammatical sense?), and i hear the birds chirping every morning. it's a pity how i have grown used to the beauty of this campus and i occasionally get reminded of its glory when ruckloads of visitors flock to see our lawn/rotunda/inhabitants. my professor was commenting on how we are like animals in a zoo. only much prettier.

and it is starting to feel like home. the days are warming up and i break a sweat each time i walk to class. i don't powerwalk though. reminds me of good ol' tropical kuala lumpur/singapore. so HOT lah! i came out of my shower and my toner was slathered on together with sweat. sheena would be cringing at this moment - i shared too many sweat talks with her. it's kinda gross i admit.

the humidity reminds me of home. on a random note, i hardly wear jeans at home. i just can't bear to because i will be sweating before i put them on, and sweating even more after. now, you must remember that at this rate, i need to be jumping into my jeans. which means my heart rate spikes up many notches, and that causes me to sweat more. i will spare you the scientific details (not that i know them). so basically, no jeans for me. which works because my mom hates putting them to wash. she claims they never dry properly - so smelly lah. it doesn't matter anyway, because i don't fit into mine anymore.

when it starts feeling like home, it is only natural to assume holiday mode. it makes perfect sense. i have been away in singapore and whenever i am home, it's the holidays. the phenomenon is a brilliant application of a psychological phenomenon; conditioning. when you pair A and B together. eventually, just having A will bring about a response to B. because you become conditioned that B will follow. so here. A = being at home. B = holidays. so when it feels like home, i automatically become a lazy bum and desire to do nothing but eat and sleep (now you may contest that i do this all the time anyway). but i mean, my lazy genes get activated more rigorously.

all i am trying to say is this, i just want to be home. because it's summer, and the time is right. i need my nasi lemak.
