I haven't written anything for a couple of weeks now. But in view of my nation's birthday, here's a post. Aren't you honoured, Singapore?

I've been flying for 2 and a half months now. Going to different places, meeting different people, seeing how others live has indeed been a fun and eye-opening experience. I relish the opportunity to 'see the world'. But being away so much has also made me appreciate 'home'.

This is Home, truly
Where I know I must be
Where my dreams wait for me
Where that river always flows
This is home, surely
As my senses tell me
This is where I won't be alone
For this is where I know it's home

As much as I love the other cities of the world (especially seoul :D), it's always exciting to be back. Exciting to see my friends and family again. Have so little time off when everyone else is free as well makes me appreciate the time spent with them more.

I believe my friends overseas and those going overseas will also share the same sentiments very soon.

Whenever I am feeling low
I look around me and I know
There's a place that will stay within me
Wherever I may choose to go
I will always recall the city
Know every street and shore
Sail down the river which brings us life
Winding through my Singapore

On this day last year, I was climbing over barries with ceci, squeezing through a massive sea of people to secure a place on the bridge in front of fullerton. We managed to see much of the performance on the platform and had a lovely view of the fireworks.
