today as i was walking out of school with ningxin, we were approached by a korean girl, asking if there was a bakery near school because she wanted to get a birthday cake. i invited her to walk with us through botanic gardens so i could direct her to cluny court. it turns out she's here for exchange for a year, doing her graduate studies at the lky school of public policy. so we chatted as we walked, and part of the conversation went like this:
ningxin: singapore is really small, you should travel around the area
me: yes, like the southeast asian countries. like malaysia or something
cj (the korean girl): yes...actually i'm planning to go to the mal..dives?
me: oh the maldives?
cj: yes! for the summer. my friend's brother, he just bought an island there. so we're going there to play.
me: ohh that's cool *pretends that friends with brothers who buy islands is an absolutely normal thing*
(but i was secretly thinking: BOUGHT AN ISLAND WTF)
different lives, y'know?
