hi puchiass! :D awesome selections, thanks!

(are you currently based in Sing? maybe we'll bump into each other at the MRT and we won't even know it!)

Hey there I'm from Singapore too and studying in NUS! Though I'm not a lit major, but I might be able to help you out if you have any questions :)

Just wanted to say that I loved the poem.

And good luck :)

My boyfriend and I are from different countries (US & Canada) and we are currently living in Japan.
Being in a relationship with someone who's different is a little challenging sometimes but very rewarding.
I hope you have a great time in Singapore!

I loved this! I'm moving to Australia in eight days, but I travelled/lived alone last year in England so it's not that new. Good luck! Be brave and everything will work out :)

Oh, wow. I haven't been there (I live in Sydney, but I've only been to the Gold Coast). I've heard good things, though.

On journeys through the States we start,
(Ay through the world, urged by these songs,
Sailing henceforth to every land, to every sea,)
We willing learners of all, teachers of all, and lovers of all.

We have watch'd the seasons dispensing themselves and
passing on,
And have said, Why should not a man or woman do as much
as the seasons, and effuse as much?

We dwell a while in every city and town,
We pass through Kanada, the North-east, the vast valley of
the Mississippi, and the Southern States,
We confer on equal terms with each of the States,
We make trial of ourselves and invite men and women to
hear,
We say to ourselves, Remember, fear not, be candid,
promulge the body and the soul,
Dwell a while and pass on, be copious, temperate, chaste,
magnetic,
And what you effuse may then return as the seasons return,
And may be just as much as the seasons.

- Walt Whitman
