Once in awhile, Bangalore had something to offer the jaded visitor, in the form of a poignant prelude to the end of yet another hectic day in a city beset with chronic traffic jams, boisterous honking, chilly nights and chicken tikka marsala.

Counting down the days to going home. Sunny Singapore, here I come!

5 things I would like to do at this very moment:

1. Indulge in a therapeutic 2-hour aromatherapy massage (preferably cheap)
2. Eat hawker centre wanton mee and Burger King fries
3. Hibernate on my own bed and vegetate the day away reading trashy magazines
4. Stone for eons and engage in transitory hermitisation (if there was ever a word for it)
5. Go home.

BUT still earn a decent living to do 1. to 4. on a continual basis.

Then again, how is this possible when it seems to be a potential oxymoronic situation at stake?

I think I’m almost veering towards the need for psychiatric assistance. Either that, or I'm just an accomplished whiner.

I've Been..

Satisfying the wanderlust fascination.
Slacking.
Sleeping.
Shopping (wayyyyyyyyyyy too much).
Reading NW, Famous and 8 Days voraciously.
Chillin' with a pint of good beer or latte.
Indulging in purposeful conversation.
Otherwise, I'm happy for you to leave me alone.
