The Great Adventures of Lokman: Haiz... I really miss Singapore :(

Hi all,

I'm in a really, really depressed mood right now. :( I know that it's just been a week since my departure from Singapore, but I've been getting these extreme bouts of homesickness whenever I think of Singapore. Australia's really not that bad, with amazing places to visit and good weather and it is full of nice and interesting people, but then again, there's nothing like home sweet home. I miss the Singaporean shops. I miss the food too. I miss the high-rise buildings, the cars, the MRT (which is the train in Singapore)... I even miss watching kid's central on the television for god damn sake! Haiz... (*sighs for very, very long*)

Most of all, I miss my family and friends. I think of them often, and how their lives are while I'm away in Australia. I really can't wait when the day comes when I've arrived back in Singapore and I get to see all their faces again. I know that some of them have vowed to welcome me back at Changi Airport, and I will cherish that moment forever. To me, three months is too long to be away from your own country. I've often think about the students who travel overseas to study and what they must be feeling to be far from home for so long, and I sympathize with their plight. They must have a deep longing to see their friends and family again. I really hope they persevere through, and keep that goal in mind while they're studying.

Well, it seems that by some miracle that I've survived the first week in Australia. I know that it's just a matter of time before I return home, and that thought keeps me going. I know that I could survive anywhere in the world and achieve much if I persevere long enough and have the determination and will to see it through. Well, that's it for now, bye! :P
