Goodbye Singapore...

This is it. 48 days in SG, 48 days of unpacking, packing, more packing, makan meet-ups, catch-ups, it all ends today. Was watching the NDP and never realised how much I missed it. The whole atmosphere of brief patriotism, enduring belonging-ness. Thought this year's NDP song was nice, though Home by Kit Chan was better haha! The chorus in particular brought a thought to mind.

"And I will sing
A song of home
A land of peace
Where dreams are born everyday
My home
Wherever I may be
I believe
You will always be a part of me "

"My home, wherever I may be; I believe, you will always be a part of me". Somehow I relate to this line very much. Wherever I may be, Singapore will always be home. Also reminded me that while I'm here on earth, wherever I may be, God placed eternity in my heart and it will always be a part of me. The desire to live for Him, looking heaven-wards.

"If I find in myself a desire which no experience in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that I was made for another world." - C.S Lewis

Just a thought.

Anyway, am done with my packing. After hours of undecided packing, I'm down to this...



packed in these...



Of course there's more and surprisingly both my check-ins are like about 15-20kg each (max 32kg per luggage) so yup kinda proud of myself for restraining from carrying too much haha! I've practically dedicated the red-white duffel to my clothes & shoes (Total: 20kg) and blackie to other necessities & txtbooks (total: 17kg). The green duffel will be my carry in though it has passed it's weight limit of 7kg at 10kg due to my laptop & hmm wires?! Anyway, alls gd!

Mama's still busy packing... as usual she hopes to bring half her wardrobe, in vain. Pack... weigh, overweight. Re-pack... weigh, overweight. You get the picture. Thankfully she's almost packed. Papa was done in half an hour haha!

Well, Au Revoir Singapore. I'll miss the familiarity of you. And au revoir to all in Perth as well. With the different time zones, I guess chatting over msn would be quite difficult but hey there's always this so take good care and God's blessings to all.

Love and hugs all around.

Goodnight, Singapore.
