The last time I stepped on foot in the sunny isle of Singapore was February 29th. Now it’s 27th November, and it’s been 9 months since I saw the last street of the sunny strip. Anticipation and exhilaration fills my heart as I type this with the remaining 17% of my battery on the laptop on my way back. I’ve never felt such excitement to return back to Singapore. Never once, ever. It’s been so long that I’ve been away and I’m just so tired of being away I can’t wait to step out of customs and be greeted by my loved ones. :)
These 9 months has passed quite painfully. Many lessons learnt and experiences have shaped the way I’ve thought, thinking now and will definitely change the way I feel about certain things, but I’m just glad that I’ve been through 9 months of being away, learning and immersing in the different way of life compared to my sunny island friends. I can’t thank you enough God, for giving me such an awesome time and the plans you’ve had/ still have for me. I fell, I got hurt, but you were there. Cheekily you’d said “see I told you so.” But You were still there for me, when I felt like the skies were going to crash on me, you made sure that they didn’t and you gave me a hope that everything will be all right in time to come. I just needed to have some faith and patience and wait for you to work your magic.
I couldn’t have lived through these 9 months without friends. Some of them were really important to me, and I think I wouldn’t have been able to survived through the hurts and sorrows without them. Thanks yx, chez, lailai, sz, jasmine, for being here for me. Thanks for the times that I felt so helpless and troubled, yet you guys were there for me. Thanks also for the many times that you guys shared my happiness and euphoria for things that came well. Life wouldn’t have been so enjoyable and time wouldn’t have passed so quickly without you all. You guys helped me in so many ways, whether it be just to hear me lament about silly things, drop me off to uni, pick me, get me lunch, listen to my nonsense, or teasing me endlessly, I just want to say THANK YOU to you all. All the things, little or insignificant as they might be, will be a part of me. 2008 was an especially good year because YOU guys were part of it.
I’ll be missing those I wouldn’t see till Jan. Till then, I’ll be praying for you all. :) xoxo
