My name is David. I live in Singapore, but I do not love it. Instead, I love New York City. I want to become a fashion photographer, but I'm stuck serving in the military. I also love Steven Klein and Lara Stone. Wish me luck for my SATs!

Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
This past weekend I went to a party on Saturday night. It was the birthday party of this guy whose studio we always use when I used to assist before enlisting. It was semi-weird, mostly “industry” people, and most of whom I don’t know. Still, it was nice to see the people I did know again.
There’s always this small group of horrible people who will always see you as an assistant and talk to you pretty rudely, though. For example, this dude asks me what I’m doing and I tell him I’m an arms technician. And he looks at me all disgusted and goes, “Cushy.”
Last warning.
But whatever. I’m so tired today. I went to see Scissor Sisters last night and had such a great time dancing my butt off and hanging out. It was so much fun! I was so close to the front, no complaints at all!
Today, though, I’m just sad. Can’t explain it. Well, I mean, I guess I can. But instead of explaining it, I’m just going to go put Adele’s 19 on repeat.

Lunch yesterday was with Chloe and we went to Peperoni Pizzeria on Greenwood Avenue which was really good even though it was a super warm day. Awesome food.
I’m still semi-upset about my friends who are leaving Singapore to study for months or even years. It’s selfish, but I can’t help but feel sad. I’m just now realizing that my few really close friends are gone and the conversations we have are reduced to a couple of msn windows on the computer. It’s great we can still talk, but still. With the time zones or whatever, it’s tough.
I know, I should get over it. But sadness is saddening. I went back to camp today for the first time since Christmas. I had about a week of leave to clear and I managed to get a nice week-long break. It was great. On Christmas, I went to TZE’s for amazing turkey and dinner before watching hours and hours of horror movies. It was great. We just hung out and talked with the lights off all the way until 6am. It was the last time we really got to chill before he left.
The few days after Christmas, I fell sick and spent time trying to feel better. Went for food with my friends once or twice. We headed to Wala Wala on Thursday night for drinks. On Friday (December 30th), I helped TZE with his music video, and the next day (December 31st) he left!
And here I am on the third of January trying to figure everything out. I still don’t know how to feel or what to do. I don’t want to talk to anyone or spend time doing anything social. I just want to read and study and disappear from everyone else’s lives. I don’t want to be here anymore. Help.
