Alright, in 21 hours time, i leave Singapore for a foreign land for 5.5 months. This is the longest i have been away from my family and let me tell you how it feels: I feel like a kid leaving to go to primary one.
I feel so insecure. I can't whine to them when i've had a lousy day. Can't bully my sister to help me get stuff as and when i want to. Can't do stupid things like sing "ABC" and " Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" at the same time with my sister just to realise that they both have the same tune. I can't even snap at someone for nagging at me cos i refuse to go the doc when i'm not feeling well. For the past 21 years of my life, i've stayed really really close to my family. The furthest i have been is to thailand for a week together with my school. And that time, i already felt homesick by day 5. Can you even imagine this trip?
But oh well, just like a kid going to primary one. I also look forward to the freedom i can enjoy without my parents nagging at me. The adventure i will have seems to be able to compensate for all the anxiety i feel now. I think about the weekend trips to neighboring countries, the month long trip i planned to take with Gillian to central and eastern Europe, the search for an internship and wala! It makes me wanna leave Singapore really soon.
In the meantime, all i can say is Auf Wiedersehen Singapur and all the sweet people living in it. I will see you again in 6 months time! =)
