Landed Safe and Sound, quite literally.

21st feburary. we left Singapore on the 9am Qantas flight. yes quite literally, the turbulances felt during the flight were bad enough, the lady beside charmaine took out the vomit bag (just in case). the landing was horrible. everyone was flung forward with such great force that we could only hold on to the front person's seat for support while the plane tried to steady itself on the runway.

as compared to the previous 2 years where the sendoffs usually have a huge emotional attachment, this year was different. i guess i've been so used to flying off to perth for studies so often that the emotional yearning for singapore soil just seems to weaken with time. no tears, no regrets. we went through the departure gate with little hesitation. from behind the glass, everyone seemed to have put on a brave front, there were no tears, only smiling and waving- well wishes for a safe flight and a good year ahead in studies.

i thought i too could manage a brave front but that was until i read elvin's letter during mid-journey. the tears just came rolling and i sobbed. it wasn't so much tears of regret for having to involve him in this long distance r/s of ours that we sometimes find so hard to maintain but more so the joy of finding someone who found purpose in waiting for me to finish with studies in perth, while dedicating himself to helping our ldr grow with the passing months. charmaine-_ -'' she just laid beside me sleeping away while i looked towards her for comfort.

we touched down in perth at 3.40pm . mum's definately happy we're back (dad i told you its not a good idea to ship us back to perth with only mum there. not to mention 9 months of her.) we unpacked and had dinner early since lunch on board the plane was horrible- crispy egg noodles turned out into soggy wet noodles that were hardly inedible.

im missing the sounds of singapore. the sounds of people splashing around in the swimming pool and waterfalls from outside my window, not forgetting the close distance the bus interchange is from my house. it's real quiet here. deafening really.

it's getting late and im starting school on tuesday. yeah pretty much. i know you all are getting jealous but get this. i only have school on tuesday, thursday and friday- 12 hours in total for the week. yes, im lovin' it here.

this is why kianyong is afraid to 'keep' a girlfriend. he's every girl's dream of a walking A.T.M that is able to pay out cash as and when needed, but he's kept that thought to himself after i've told him how much elvin squanders on me:D he's especially terrified over how much pampering i need. according to elvin, i require more pampering since i dont get as much when im overseas (yes, the 1.5k that i've spent in Singapore are all down to shopping since meals are all paid by elvin) , so girls dont get all jealous of the lack of attention from your guys. i dont much of it also when im 5 hours away from my baby.

the marina barrage (the circle platform in the centre of the picture)

the new floating Singapore football stadium, ( that has extension rods so that the field can be further extended out into the Singapore River if needed). Singapore's recent National Day was also celebrated here as the old stadium is being torn down.

OMG! i haven't blogged in 4 months!

i hate to spoil the return to Singapore, but i'm returning back home to Perth on the 21st of feb. that doesn't really give you much time to hang out with me huh, given that today's already the 20th of feb. my three months of holiday in Singapore were made up of a whole lot of drama- being sick in often with reports that i had tonsilities, in case you dont know it's the inflammation of the tonsils in your throat, %#^#* WHAT! it turned out to be just a scare though i very much would like the whole 2 weeks odd that i've wasted on sleeping in at home and gaining weight.

no, i didnt accomplish my task of losing any weight eventhough i had the gym staring at me just outside my window at the clubhouse area. the good food that i've been eating all this while is defined as deliciously damm good food that has been cooked and marinated with a whole lot of sugar, salt, oil and chilli. not to mention, elvin's been spoiling me with candies and icecream whenever i pull on a pout.

if you guys are interested to know, i've already spent all that i've earnt through working in Perth. a whooping total of 1.5k within a three month holiday. any one still up for marrying me and your bank account? im not an accountant, just an inspiring economist so when it comes to recording what i've spent i cant tell you so (elvin pays for all the meals, movies, candies and places of attraction), but i've done my part in helping the economy raise its demand;D

*my deepest regrets are sincerly to Alyssa, im so sorry i didnt catch up with you. i didnt know how to find you and whilst i didnt blog for all this while, we kinda lost our only form of communication. *

for all those of you who were lucky enough to meet up with me on weeks when i wasn't ill at home or busy with running errands for mum, i hope to catch up with you more often during the year on msn or through emails. let's not make it a yearly affair.

and for the rest who weren't given the opportunity to meet up together with me while i was back, i sincerly apologise for sickness took much of my time with you away. but, it's not too far off ;D, 9 months and i will be back again for the food and shopping here in Singapore.

it is here we move on to the different paths our lives lead and in yet another year, we shall meet again when our roads cross paths with one another. bon voyage my friends!
