an unexpected memory.

i'm back from obs! :)

having a little bit of withdrawal symptoms.

took me abt one day or so to get settled back into civilisation, faster than i would have liked...

contrary to what i believed.. it turned out to be a pretty memorable experience! :)

haha towards the end even the bites and stings became tolerable.. we just gave up on repellent.

i'm going to..

Miss the lush, raw shades of green and brown,

The sound of branches and dried leaves cracking under my footsteps

Taking fresh clean breaths of air in the gentle mornings and tranquil dusks

Trudging up and down the part-brick, part-cement paths lining the winding slopes

The smell of the sea. Waking up in the wild feeling sticky and itchy, to be soaked to the skin in quarry water a little while later feeling like its the best shower u've had in years; thrill-disgust-lightheartedness lumped up within

Shoulder ache, sun burn, tired feet and a heart warmed by song and laughter.

The stars and constellations.

drinking from fuel-like bottles? haha. the taste of tapwater!

Not having to turn away when the breeze comes straight in your face, knowing there's always room to stop paddling and let the tides take u place.

16 hands in a circle.

Thank you for the memories Suisen. sco-lars at heart. ahahaha. :)

i'll try to remain inspired for as long as possible. i pray for strength and faith.
