good or bad news... *shrugs* u decide.
i will be coming back on the 12th of August instead of the 14th of August. it's a friday.. will be landing at 12pm.. so i can go eat some singapore food before heading home to rest in time for school on monday.
i'm pretty sad. Today is my last day here in Houston, Texas.. and .. i dunnoe. i dun reallie want to leave. To be frank, i would much rather stay here for a few more months instead of sloughin it out at NUS. Dun get me wrong.. i miss you guys very much.. it's just tt.. well.. i've met many interesting foreigners here.. and deep in my heart, i know that once we separate ways, we will lose contact with one another and that very thought saddens me greatly. i mean.. for NACLI camp, we all promised to keep in contact with one another..but it never did happen. plus i know that the slovakians do not have excellent english communication skills so deciphering my emails will be akin to me reading some french. oh gosh.. heartache. i am gonna miss them so much!
right now, im counting down all my lasts.. like my last time on the METRO.. last time in the internet cafe.. last time in 6 flags.. last time in Sword & Crown.. last lunch.. last dinner.. last time meeting so- and- so.....
this experience has reallie opened my eyes.. and taught me so much. So much has happened since i arrived. When i first came here, i could call no one a friend.. conversations were polite yet awkard. Now, we jest around openly. The comfort level is just there... so much so it will be difficult to adjust to not having them around me 24/7. one by one, people are starting to leave.. Can there ever be a worse word than " Goodbye"? To think of me saying it to my friends tomoorow.. emotions are just gonna choke up my throat. To think of all the arguments we went through.. how we would settle it around the kitchen table before we went to sleep.. the breakfast the guys would cook for me.. my breaks during which i would make one whole big round to visit everyone at their workplace (of coz, i would take a longer break than stated! bwahaahhaha)..
right now, i just feel emotionally drained.. just wanna sit on the ground and cry my heart out..
in a way, im glad. i will leave houston with very fond memories.. many years from now, i will still cherish all these memories. Loss is an essential part of life. At least, we've met. and for that i'm truly grateful.
To my international friends, thank you for making my trip so memorable. A special shout out to Majo, Josef, Al, Andre, Lilian, Dauche, Lionel, Andrew, Lyncee, Tina, Usa, Nicky.. you guys truly rock!
alas! why won't the wheel of life stop turning for just a second?
i'm coming home.
