hmm.
it's been fantastic catching up with friends and family, but honestly? the humidity and the heat? it's just too much for me to handle! even just the idea of sweat dripping down your neck once you place one foot out the door is just absolutely disgusting. overall, it's put me in a mood of hibernation. whilst i'm not a pansy girl, being over here makes me feel fussy coz i just absolutely refuse to go anywhere for more than an hour if it's not air-conditioned! it's such a horrible feeling to feel indulgence as an obligatory measure.
anyhow! yes. the meeting up with friends and family has definately been the highlight of my singapore stop over. it's a wonder how some people just manage to stay the same no matter how they age and no matter how much circumstances change! it's definately a good thing in some respects, but it does make me wonder about what i once thought about change, and how it was supposedly inevitable.
but okay. holidays and vacation. i'm so unbelievably over it. i'm sick of unpacking my bag half-way, only to have to re-pack it just days later! i'm sick of the feeling of being on the move. i hate the feeling of planning my days as though they're preciously numbered and limited. i hate the feeling of not being able to just chill when i want to - not to mention the inability to just sit on my bum the whole day and just laze on the couch catchin up on my latest tv dvd box set.
but although these feelings are overwhelming, i'm also grateful to God for a lot of things. these past 5 and a half months have been unbelieveably fruitful. i've changed in many ways and i've grown and learn so many things. those things aren't just about myself and my limits, but also about the aspects in which i can change to be a better person, a better friend and a better sister and daughter!
it's been an absolute blessing to be able to have seen what i've seen these past 5 months. and it's been such a joy meeting all the great people that i now call on as friends. it's such a rewarding feeling when you're able to look back and see just how much God has showered tiny blessings of wrapped-up joy and immense hope! hope for a bright future and for traversable and borderless friendships!
i guess that knowing that my time of travelling and my time abroad is nearing the end, i'm reflecting and reminiscing a lot more. it's a nice way of counting my blessings and remembering all the good times. =))
anyhow! enough reflection for one night i think.
here are some pictures from the past couple of days. =)
me and rach at the ang mo kio hub
there's some suprizingly good shops here. hahah.
the amazing shop-naming abilities of singaporean hawkers.
gives me the thought: "you sell cooked food???? no wayy!"
nothing soothes a craving better than a cheese and onion prata from banana leaf. =p
my cousin ben, me and rach posing somewhere along orchard road. =))
i also got to meet up with carolyn =D
so i guess that i should probably mention that whilst i was in vancouver, i met up with corbin. hahah. but i wasn't really in a photo taking mood that day. and funnily enough, we said goodbye without taking a single photo of the both of us! hahaha. this snap was the best we had. lol...
funny huh. lol.
anyhow. i should probably crash now - i can't afford to have another lazy day tomorrow!
jyaa.
-pheebs.
