I thought I’d write a long post for this long awaited come back from my half-a-year-MIA. But its 12.40am and I have to get up in 5 hours and 20 mins so I shall make it a quick one. Well, a lot has happened since my last post so I don’t know where to start. Talking about “come back”, I just got back from Singapore for a 2 week holiday. It was certainly one of the best holidays ever because there were so many things to be merry about. Most importantly the whole family was together.
I’m currently suffering from a semi-serious bout of homesickness. Its so bad I dreamt about it last night and it made me feel nauseous during my sleep. I dreamt that I have a ticket to fly back to Singapore next week. I was panicking so badly cos there is no way my supervisors would be happy with that. Hence I was trying so hard to get the flight dates changed but the airlines kept refusing it. So I felt so sucky: I wanted to go back so badly, people I wanna see again, I have a ticket back, I know I shouldn’t but somehow the circumstances meant I had to go back or forfeit the ticket all together. I’m missing everyone so dearly already.
I really don’t know how everyday of my 2 week break went by so quickly. 5 days of crazi-busy in Hongkong where I spent some quality time with relatives and the remaining of the time I was totally pigged & shopped out. 8 days totally devoted to family time & Lunar New Year celebrations (& preparations) and 2 days for meeting some dear dear friends. Why are holidays never long enough? Never long enough to do what I wanna do, to relax, to spend more time with loved ones, so many things left undone, words unsaid. Somehow every time I’m on holidays away from Melbourne, I feel like I’m removed from reality. Like everything’s a dream and unreal and that when the holidays are over I be thrown back to reality, my “normal” life. Each holiday is so short yet so packed with memorable experiences.
Thankfully I have friends here who know exactly how I feel. Reunion with them tomorrow ;p
I know I said this was gonna be a short entry… so I shall end it here.
