HelloWell, nothing much to update right now actually, just that Charlene has gone on a trip with this club she joined in Bern, while I'm just sitting back and enjoying the alone time this arrangement has afforded me. Quite nice actually, just that there is no ready-made company right now. haha. But its nice like this, I can blast my music out loud without worrying about bothering someone else in the room. Missed this. Haha.
Oh anyway, one of the guys at st gallens will be coming over next week, maybe staying over at our room. But we definitely would be playing host to him, and hopefully we will get to eat Chew's Famous Fried Rice! (He say one, not me! lol) Then we'll be going to st gallens with him to visit for a few days and to meet the numerous singaporeans on exchange there. There's like a mini-singapore over at st gallens lah, 21 i think, including a few from ntu and 1 from nus. lol. While here in Bern there're only 3 singaporeans! What a contrast man, lol.
And I booked my tickets to London already! Going to visit Nuha at her sister's place in the 3rd week of may, so looking forward to that man, to see a friend so far away from home! Time passes real fast, we've known each other for 3 years already, and its always good to see a good friend again in a foreign land. :)
But ah, I think I'm not cut out for this living abroad thing. Travelling is really great, broadens your horizons and expands your world view, but somehow my thoughts keep going back to that tiny island back in SEA. Living so far away from home for the first time perhaps, but I don't think I'm strong enough to live so far away from family long-term. I've always grown up in a close-knit and large family which has always lived close to each other. So I guess I'm not used to having only email and phone calls as the only contact with them. Of course I have good times here without them, but to me coming home means seeing my family, and not seeing them everytime I come back from a trip just feels weird.
Perhaps I'm too sheltered and all. Perhaps. But I'll definitely be looking forward to going home. Because home is where the heart is, and going away for 6 months has just convinced me that my heart lies right where my family is.
