hmmmm...

I was blogsurfing today and realised that I my blog is really crappy. really really crappy. I'm just ranting instead of providing insight and poetry and sweet thoughts to my readers. 

No wonder I have no readers. 

Ah well, the US is awesome. To anyone who said that Oakland is a dangerous part of town, you're wrong. Ok no, you are right but narrow-minded. True, I have seen 2 "missing person" posters since I arrived a week ago, the fire truck blares its sirens as it passes my place at least once a day and the city is very clearly marked with its "good spots" and "bad spots", but its still one damn nice place. 

I'm not just talking about the view here, (though lake merritt IS the most awesome things to wake up to in the morning) I'm saying that there is a completely different way people live. It's not just the pace of life, nor just the completeness, nor just the flow of it. It is like people here dance to a different melody as in Singapore. 

It is the way every car in a line of 5 will wave at us and let us cut in when we are in the wrong lane. It is the way conversation is about people and not things. It is the way there is pride to living even without money. It is the way life is about making others look at that single cause of yours and not making the way others look at you the single rule of life. It is the way people smile like their world is complete when you smile instead of furrowing their brows in jealousy or puzzlement. Its the way people live big and dream small. 

Now I just need my sister to be here and life will be complete. In the meanwhile I bought her a bottle with this design  :D

boopdeboopdeboop. Off to New York tomorrow! yay :D
