Retrogade Amnesia

Close your eyes.

I'm closer than you think. You're closer than you think.

Yet every time I think of you, I die, a little.

-

I cannot remember anything.
I remember nothing.

I have forgotten Everything.

Shingshing in Tenerife

April 1st - April 4th 2010

Rocking the Canary Islands with my favourite girls in the whole wide world.

Here's to 5 years of unwavering, rock-steady friendship and more :)

I miss the sun, the sea and you girls already XX

Lost, and Found


This wall was one of the few things that I loved best at the Tate Britain. LX and I spent a good 15 minutes staring at all four walls, trying to figure out which quotes we liked best.

So many of them struck chords deep in the heart. A couple actually sent a shiver down my back.

If I had four empty walls in an empty room, I would do the same.

For the first time in ages, the GG episode triggered something within. Remarkable, by GG standards because it has been churning out empty-headed stuff for a very very long time. When Vanya declared his reason for loving Dorota being that he was 'the best possible person' whenever he was with her, I teared with Blair. When B went out to proclaim that she did not like who she had become with Chuck, my heart went out to her.

Deja Vu. I am reminded of the scene in the bar last Monday when we were drinking into the dead of the night - a feat which I still hold as a true accomplishment, with me leaving at 3.30 am and waking up at 7.30 am the next morning for PBL.

JH's evident disappointment and vehement declaration of my momentary lapse of judgement at a certain point in time triggered irrational emo responses on my part. I was defeated. Emotionally and verbally.

But all is not lost. Like he said, We all learn from our mistakes. Such is life.

From trying to become someone I was not, to losing sight of my priorities, to trying to mould something into shape that we never meant to be.....to paying a price in the end.

From someone lost, to someone found.

I am almost completely there. Welcome back, Alyssa Sim. And hopefully you will be here to stay forever and always.

Shingshing in Venice

Of Gondolas, San Marco's Basilica, San Marco's Piazza, the Rialto, Murano, Gelato-overdose and the lot.

Some of the more memorable moments:



This pic definitely deserves a caption. Reinactment of Gossip Girl's 'Lunch on the Met Steps'. Lol.
(Note: No one sits higher up than Queen B. Lol ;). Jokes! I am kidding myself. I can be Queen Blair in my dreams).





And my possible favourite picture of all: 'Holding Hiro Hostage'. Dangling Keng's toy above the sinister murky waters of the canal while he watches on helplessly. Hahaha.

Too much fun in a week-long Easter break. Much-needed though.

Thank you my travel buddies. Take care you all, and may we all conquer this thing called Medical Finals :P
