HI EVERYONE:)
i have officially returned back to my beloved home yesterday, 3 july, 1730. in a short span of just one day, i have tasted ALL my favourite local food- hokkien mee, sliced fish soup, roti prata, yong tau foo, barley water with seeds. Im truly bloated now. i'm gonna attend steph's bday party tonight and i'm looking forward to meet all of u who r attending too!
My 19 hrs flight back to spore was the best time to do my reflections. Being high up among the clouds alone & threading through have the world's continents seem to make my mind much clearer.
Seeking inner peace amidst the silence..Copenhagen, the land of fairytales, is my 2nd home. I had an ambitious list of things I wanted to do during mylast days in copenhagen. In the end, I realised that it is not WHAT I'm gonna do that is important but WHO I'm meeting up again. Meeting up with u guys far outweigh shopping frantically to catch the summer sales:)
THANK U caryn, for helping me carry 2kg of my belongings back to Singapore. w/o u I would have exceeded my baggage allowance. Phew, at last, my worry of excess baggage did not occur. I missed the weight limit of 46kg check-in allowance by merely 1kg! THank god.
THANK U jackie, ruo and yeseul for helping me unconditionally to move my baggage to the airport. What would I do w/o u lovely girls? Perhaps I would be left stranded at norreport in desperate tears that the stupid metro to the airport broke down at that crucial time.
This is enough already. I am rejuvenated to embrace all the coming challenges. I have enjoyed myself to the MAX this period. These 5 mths have been the BEST months of my life. 13 countries, 21 cities- I have been to much more cities these 5 mths than my 20 years of existence before exchange!
Travelling opens up your world, brings fairytales & dreams to reality, brings history to life, makes world affairs seem like personal affairs. I am enriched.
Exchange allows me to step aside from my routine life and take a look at life from a different perspective. I am much clearer about my future plans now. I am now more confident in accepting the sacrifices of working overseas, learn to face loneliness & step out to be an independent adult.
Returning back will be a whole new experience. After being away for 5 months, I could not remember how hot and humid singapore feels like and the challenging yet stressful university life can be. I will try to face each day with optimism and enthusiasm.
I will be uploading all the june travel pictures and blogging on them soon:) till then, I will leave all the travel tales when we meet up.
