Bonjour. Si vous voulons me chercher, vous êtes venu au faux endroit.

what really strikes me from this past few weeks is the amazing sense of community that such mini urban hubs have. people drop by and visit, regular shoppers say hi and speculate on 4D and toto, colleagues drop by even though theyre not working. i would say it almost has a kampong feel about it. well, not that i know exactly what a 'kampong feel' is. as much as a admire and appreciate such stuffs, i really wouldnt contribute to it. for me, its like. yeah its a place to work, earn money. i sure as hell wont go back and say hi if im off, even if im like staying in the neighbouring blocks. i already see this place like, 6 days a week? why would i wanna go back there?
and thanks to se1101, every time i hear a southeast asian accent i feel damn excited. like for no reason. i feel this burning urge to ask: hey, are you from indonesia? or the philipeans? like hey. howre you guys integrating here? hows it going? yeah.
anyways. after a few weeks here, im starting to feel just a little bit disillusioned. now that the learning curve has sort of panned out. (a bit like those annoying s-shaped chem graphs we have to draw when doing titration that have multiple endpoints) im wondering: just what was i expecting to achieve here? hmmm.
