back

would like to say im back home but no, this doesnt feel like home anymore after spending three weeks in what is truly home to me. with friends leaving as each semester passes, the two homes gets brought closer to each other soon merges into one. its always nice to meet friends you made in brissy back home though, it feels like know this part of your life with some familiarity. which is why i appreciate the friends who were able to come down to visit me, it brings a sense of closeness where they see the life i lead here and they understand how ive grown, and changed. 

it was funny how when i woke up on the train and saw a river, the first thought that ran through my head was - oh, we're above kallang river. when it hit me that no, im not in singapore, im in brisbane. but brisbane has its own charm. the quietness, the peacefulness. i realise the cosyness of a smaller room, a room which i have made my own. a room which i have fully furnished and decorated, where each and every cm has footprints of yours truly, and of someone special. of long conversations, of tears and joy. this is the same room that jeannie, carin and zakiyah stayed in and where we poured our hearts to each other. anyhow, it makes me feel safe.

other than that, going about the usuals in life, packing(this is a constant in my life), grocery shopping and stuff brings me great joy. perhaps, i was made to be a housewife. haha just kidding, there are times i feel a little lost about the future, but perhaps as he said, it is time to stop looking at the future constantly and to live in the present. in this season of life where God has placed me.
