In another 7 days time, I’ll be on my way back to Singapore. Yes, time just passes so fast, three months just passed by like these. During my three month’s stay here, I felt and learned a lot. This kind of experience is something that will always be in my mind and something that I would cherish.

At this point of time, I really can’t bear to leave this place. Yes, you didn’t read wrongly. The past one month was great and I really had a lot of happy times here so much that if not for my loved ones in Singapore and school, I would continue my stay here.

I know I know, to some of my friends I did complain about the life here during my first month. I pms, I emo, I angry, I cried during the first month, maybe because I’m not adapting well yet at that time and most importantly, at that time I still had not integrate into the friendship I had with my room mates. As you can see, they are much younger than me, all of us had different character and most importantly we did not know each other beforehand, we came from different courses. That explained the differences we had.

However, as time passed, we joked, we laughed, we cared, we helped, we co-operate, we go through the good and the bad times together. And that makes our relationship closer.. Two of them asked me: “Would we still stay in contact when we are back in Singapore?” I replied: “That’s a tough question, because it takes 8 hands to clap.” True indeed, it all depends on the initiative we had once we are back. Whatever it is most importantly is that we are happy at this moment.

To talk about the experience here, would take me a few days. I would blog more about it once I’m back. As well as photos. I know I have not been uploading it for quite sometime, forgive me as it’s because of my gong gong roommate he is forever lazy to upload the pics.

As from today onwards, I would cherish my stay here making it as fulfilling as possible.

Short Note: It takes abit of getting used to..
