The Bad and the Beautiful
Hollo!
It was a sort of almost-certain decision to let this blog die and fizzle out, since I am back from exchange, and the blog was originally dedicated to the process of my exchange, but I do so love the crowd who reads this and the spirit this blog has. So I think I'll continue posting here until I decide not to do so again. :)
The last few days have been nice. Re-entry into life here was a little bumpy though, as on my first night I was totally jet-lagged and thought-laden till 7am in the morning. I was scared, honestly, on my first night back. I was afraid how things would be like for me from now. But the next day was good, because I met up with Cheryl, Dave etc. and we had a good time talking and catching up. It was truly as if I never left, and that felt good. The night ended up with a very late supper at my favourite Chai Chee bak chor mee stall - what more can a girl ask for, really? Heh.
Then Marcs returned, and since then I've been hanging with him and his family, staying at his place. Tomorrow school is starting again, but thank goodness my lesson is 3.30pm and not 8.30am. Hah :P
Mon did a The Good and The Bad of Returning Home list in her blog. My list would look something like that :
The Good
Warm weather = not freezing all the time
I get to wear all my nice tropical clothing
Get to eat all the good Singapore food
Familiarity is comfort, man
Having my friends around me again
The Bad
Missing Thornbank Gardens
Realizing some things really don't change, or won't change so soon (and not exactly knowing how to get there)
People are leaving just as I am returning
School is starting, and so the rat race resumes
My parents are returning from Indo soon
Yep. So that's it. Can't wait till the ol' Joycey and Ritz return. I do miss 'em!
