Where the fun ain't got no end
Click to viewSo the question is: what's been happening in my life lately? To be honest, I haven't felt much motivation to blog for a while now, feel like I might abandon this space altogether... And yet I am hesitant to do so, because I've had this Livejournal since 2006, and it's got all of my favourite memories, both happy and sad, in it. I will persevere.
In a way not much has happened, and yet it would seem that I would have a lot to say since moving to England; it being such a big change in my life. Perhaps I should first blog about my trip back home recently.
Easter break
Came back from a three week trip back to Singapore two weeks ago. It's always good to be home. Before I left Singapore and moved here, I was so excited to leave the place I had grown up in and gotten bored of. A year ago, I would have died for the chance to leave boring, stuffy, hot Singapore to go anywhere and do anything a plane ride away. I'm not regretting my decision to study overseas at all, but it has given me a new appreciation and love for my home country. I mean, where else can you go out at 3am and have a nice steaming hot bowl of bak kut teh? All the shops here close at 5pm and god forbid I find any bak kut teh. The lack of food's actually been the hardest part of living abroad. Anyway my trip back this time was a surprise one, only my sister knew I was going back. I just snuck into my house with my suitcase and surprised my parents. My mom said she knew something was up. I guess moms really do know best! Their reactions were so cute and heartwarming. I've missed them in all their occasional parent annoying-ness. Finally got to cuddle my beloved Omelette again. I have plans to maybe move out to a place of my own when I go back to Singapore (if I go back), I can't wait to take him along with me.
Spent my three weeks meeting up with friends (although not as many and as often as I would have liked), clubbing, drinking, EATING, sleeping, eating... God I got so fat. I ballooned in the first week I got back. My favourite part of this trip was not telling anyone I was coming back and then surprising them one by one. Their reactions were gold.
Surprised my parents first, then Evia, by getting Grace to ask her to come down from her office to collect something I passed to her. She jumped back and refused to hug me. GREAT FRIEND. Then Del, who came later. Next was Nicole, at Tantric. She yelled and yelled and asked me what I was doing there. And then that night I posted pictures on Instagram so the big secret was out hahaha loved the shocked texts. Maybe I should come back secretly all the time!
Can't wait to be home again in about three months. Thank goodness time flies x
