Putting It On The Back Burner

I miss my way of life back home. Days spent lazing at Marc's house, driving around Singapore (okay, being driven around), going to familiar hang-out places with friends, having supper almost whenever I wished, dressing up and wearing whatever I pleased ... I miss the rhythm I had to my days.

Don't get me wrong, I do like being here in Bath. It's nice having my own room to myself all the time - no need to deal with parentals, and it is refreshing to learn more about foreign cultures and ways of life from the other exchange students we are getting to know. And I know the minute I go back home, I will complain about the humid tropical weather as if I never missed it before.

I'm going to play poker with Jerome, Quentin and other exchange students in a bit :) I hope there're enough hands, and I hope I win!

My heart twists when I think about your hugs and your warmth. The comfort you gave me. I really miss it now.

It seems clarity always comes when I'm further away, observing. When I get caught up in my emotions, I'm lost, I'm carried away. When will I learn...?

Biding my time, but not removing the tension.
