Two of my closest friends are leaving, for good, or rather, there’s a very high chance that they are. I don’t know how I feel about them leaving. But its the whole seasons theory, that people come and go. When they come, its when you need them the most, and when they go, its because you don’t need each other anymore.
This year is gonna be the first year that I’m not home for christmas, or new year’s. I don’t like it, I absolutely hate the feeling that my family’s gonna be together this christmas, having dinner, playing mahjong, swapping presents, laughing and singing carols. This is gonna be the first year in a long time that the whole family’s gonna be around, minus me. Christmas has always been my favourite season, always always. Because we spend the day together, as a family. Dad, mum and me. I know I’m going on and on and on about not being back for christmas, but I’m really bummed. But its okay, if I don’t get the early flight back, I have a bunch of awesome friends to spend christmas with! We’re gonna have fun (:
I should update about Sydney, except I don’t have pictures. It was amazing, and so much fun. We spent so much on food, really really good food. And all the good food was cancelled out by the amount of walking we did. Walking across Balmain, and then again to Surrey Hills, from Circular Quay all the way across the city to our hotel at Central Station, from the hotel to the bus stop (its about 4 streets), and then back again. We found the most amazing IGA ever! IGA is the independent grocers of australia, and basically every IGA stocks different things depending on the what the shop keeper wants to stock. Hence, the IGA at Haymarket, was essential an asian grocer. Except, rather than being just a regular asian grocer like what we have here in Melbourne, the Haymarket IGA is literally like Giant in Singapore, on a smaller scale. They even had Rambutans and Longans! It was incredible. If I lived in Sydney, that would be my favourite place to shop. Honestly. I felt so at home there, like I had been transported back to Singapore, and I was standing in NTUC with all the aunties. Haha! But yes, Sydney was incredible, and I loved the company too! Shiyou & Diane are my favourite people to go on holidays with <3 Love them to bits! I also managed to spend a whole afternoon and evening with my godpa! He’s so much fun to hang out with, and we share a love for kung fu movies and fruits. Haha! I got sunburnt on my first day in Sydney which quickly went away due to the vast amount of rain we got for the rest of the week. It rained every single day that we were in Sydney, except for our first day, hence no tan. Much to the delight of the girls and to my dismay.
I miss the late night chats we had before sleeping, spa night, laughing at random things, and wandering around the city. Love you girls so much! We should go on another holiday soon, like to bali, thailand, hong kong or something when we’re all back in Singapore.
Okay, time for sleep. I think I have too much on my mind.
HONG KONGGGGG.
<3 you so much mer! both you and shiyou are mer.
