Singapore Birthday Celebrations!
mood: Loved
I'm so incredibly happy and touched to have such wonderful friends.
Remember how I was moaning previously about the fact that I wouldn't be able to celebrate my 21st birthday in Singapore, since I'll be back in Nottingham during that time? Well, I've had two absolutely wonderful be-early birthday surprises that really did catch me by surprise and which left me feeling so blessed and lucky to have friends who care enough to do such things for me.

Evolution?
music: The Bird Chirps, I Sing - from Tales of Legendia OST
mood: Undescribable - perhaps sad, perhaps reluctant, perhaps...
Suddenly hit VERY HARD by the feeling that I'm not ready to go back to the UK.
I know that I'm actually really looking forward to going back for my final year, but... as I talk to my friends about the last things we're going to do, as I remember the stuff I've done the past months with my family and friends, as I look at the electronic ticket that reminds me that my flight is this Saturday early in the morning... I suddenly don't want to leave. So many things that still want to be done, to be said, to be experienced, to be enjoyed... things that can only be done in Singapore, the place I was born, the place I've lived and loved all these years, the place I always want to continue living in and loving...
I don't know why I'm acting like this. I'm not going away permanently. It's only going to be one year. No, not even that - it'll probably be only 10 months or so. But there's just that longing that doesn't go away, that doesn't want to be torn away from the place it's attached to by the invisible velcro strap that gives when it has to but not without any resistance or without any verbal protest.
Is it possible to have homesickness even before you've left home? [Karma: 1 (+/-)][link] [10 Comments]
Wow. Had an amazingly tiring day today. My mom took the day off since she had scheduled both of us for a dental appointmet which started early in the morning at 9.30am (though as with most dentists it ended up being way later since we were kept waiting), and then we spent the rest of the day running errands. So the entire list of stuff done today, plus my usual long-winded recounting:[More...] [Karma: -2 (+/-)][link] [1 Comment]
