The past month has probably been the most enjoyable shit ever.
Super awesome. Sometimes boring, sometimes tiring. But asdfging awesome.
For the first time in 7 years have I finally relanded on the country I have grown up in - Canada, I have also finally landed in America for the first time in my life.
I don't know why is it awesome. It just is. So nostalgic, so much memories here in canada. I don't wanna forget this place forever. Seeing everyone whom i haven't saw in 7 years, that feeling is just fantastic.
Yeah, I left Canada when I was 9.
9.
Everyone was around my age. And Bam!
College, high school. Everyone is suddenly so old. Its amazing, yet somewhat frightful at the same time.
How did 7 years pass by so fast? It's too fast to be true
And my Canadian English accent is still there, albeit abit... Singapore-ish *gleams*
And then how interesting it is to see every single uncle and aunty who would say something like "oh my god you have grown so much!".
Yeah ikr. Too long, too fast to be true.
I don't know why, but I really love the people here. This is the warm society I have came to love, not the cold and heartless one I have witnessed many times in Singapore and other parts of Asia. Maybe thats because I'm technically an foreigner. Someone brought up among the ang mohs.
I like it that way, actually.
Onto the journey part, I first landed in Vancouver where I stayed in the house of my mum's friend. Her house is humongously HUGE and we had two rooms to ourselves. I had one to hold as my own. During our stay here, we went to various people's houses, people whom I have not seen for the past 7 years.
One of my many childhood friends, Vivian, is this cool dude-ish girl who plays LOL and games alot. Cool huh.
We went to many places and brought back quite a bit of memory. haha.
And then on we went to the side of vancouver at this place called whistler where we stayed for 2 days. Its a rocky mountains sort of place where there was alot alot of snow! It was everywhere. We went onto the skiing resorts and had 2 fruitful days of skiing. It was quite wonderful. Not to mention scary cause I tested out my guts and tried out this super steep mountain slope and almost died. But yeah, no biggie.
From there, we took a plane to Los Angeles where we stayed for another 2 days. There we went to Disneyland on the first day. Man, I really am too old for disneyland. The rides aren't even scary and stuff. The second day we went to holleywood boulevard where we took pictures and visited the homes of stars (or actually just looked from the outside) and entered Madamme Tussauds's Wax Museum and posed with all sorts of stars hahahaha.
From there, we went by car to San Diego, where we visited a really big army vessel, an aircraft carrier in fact. It was super big, and super cool. On the second day we visited sea world and saw animal shows (did I mention that Orca Whales are super cool and I used to love them alot). We also got to ride those super fast and cool rollercoasters. Now thats awesome.
At last, we drove to Las Vegas. And honestly. Its super boring. All that is here are strippers and gamblers. Meh, dunlike.
And here I am now, typing away in this small town in Detroit called Troy. Its quite and nice, even though I'm constantly reminded that detroit is a freaking scary city.
Ps. Just got my klipsch S4i sounds isolation earphones. They rock!

Etched
Morning Canadian morning, 7a.m .
The sun was rising from the brims of the horizon, and the misty morning fog of autumn has slowly started to clear. A new day was to begin. Living in the heart of the forest, the forest ranger was about to start his routine.
Wandering through the forest, the thin, sweet scent of the wild flowers and the slight woody smell of wet tree trunks mixed together gives a jolt towards those who smells it. The birds chirped through the trees, while occasional pecks of woodpecker signals the start of a days work. Down by the lake, the pristine waters are clearer and more still than any mirrors on the market.
A deer nestled near the lake. It was beautiful, serene, yet also oblivious, quietly drinking water from the lake. Slowly savoring the taste of a pure and crystal drink. Who would to know that a hunter was waiting, silently under the cover of the bushes? With a hunting rifle in one hand and a binocular in the other. He see the deer, and aims..
Another beautiful creature gone under the manifestation of human greed. Another life off this planet.
Behind the serene beauty of the forest, bodies of dead animals lay in the darkest parts of the forest. The 'area of death', the locals name it. Excessive human deforestation has taken the life away from these areas.
Branches lay all across the land, dead trunks everywhere. The ground hints a shade of black while earthworms, birds all lay dead on the ground, where vultures are having a good meal on the deceased. The musty smell of death bequeathed a sense of death to those that smelled it. Human cigarettes lay across the soil.
Its hard to be the sole sentient beings on earth. Its even harder to control the innate human desires.
Greed
Lust
Power.
But in the pursuit of greed, the quiet natures and the benefactors of human are slowly harmed by the exact people who believe that they are the ones who are always right, the superior beings.
One day we will eventually harm everything, and leave nothing behind.
Like in science fiction movies, where we have to search for a new planet.
It shouldn't happen
