I miss..


Sometimes part of me just wishes for so many things. Living at home, having my mom around all the time, meeting friends, eating out. Its just a random feeling that mostly catches me unawares, with nothing eliciting it.

Of course, exchange is very exciting, and I relish the chances it gives me, to do things that I will never see hide or hair of in Singapore. But I guess its human nature to long for things that are not at hand; the grass is greener at the other side, after all.

And living with another person is not easy. Having to take into account the other's habits, needs and moods. I have lots to learn in the lesson of tolerance, as personalities, no matter how alike or diverse, will create moments of friction. Now I have to get used to being named "the girl" online, since I am told its funny. Or maybe I shall take up the suggestion thrown at me when I questioned the use.

Oh well, this slightly angsty post is just a manifestation of what I have been sporadically feeling. Of course I am having fun here, but sometimes I just miss talking to people who know me for who I am, without much explanation for every step I take and everything I say. Socializing only goes so far for me.

But anyway, on a slightly lighter note, I will try to upload more pictures onto my blog next time, though blogger's rather a pain in the ass about the speed, especially with my not-so-good internet connection. Oh, for those at home, midterm break must have ended like last week, if I remember correctly, so good luck for the last lap before exams (and the holidays)!
