July 15, i wrote these words at Melbourne Airport while waiting for daybreak:

"life seemed so much like a dream over the past 35days spent in Singapore. it's a dream because there were too many surprises which happened actually in reality!!~ when the plane took off from Changi Airport, my heart sank with utter unfounded sadness. suddenly, my memories of my 35-days stay in Singapore had to be instantly set-aside....came to a pause....very soon in the matter of hours, i would have to once again start my life afresh in Australia. such agonising experience is terrible and i promise myself never to endure it again!

i'm beginning to feel sick...homesick plusss real sick. i've been sneezing throughout my plane journey; i didn't sleep much cos' the uncle seated right beside me was coughing throughout the flight journey. i felt really uncomfortable seated right smack in the middle between 2 people; what to do? that's what economy seats are~ and how did i kill time through the journey? movies, cartoon and games plus busy with finding tissue paper for my leaking nose!~ oh man! grrrrr...rr *shudder* it's 6 degrees when i landed at Melb, at 4:55am. "phew! finally!"

over here, the air is filled with cigarette smoke which seriously choke me a great deal. people here fancy coffee in the morning so much so that the Cafe is the only shop which opens at such an early hour. Singrish would never be heard in this place cos' Australians speak aussie (duh!?) but that's how foreign this place feels. i long to be home....i miss Changi Airport...i miss home at this very moment!!

oh well~ what to do? now that i'm here, i've gota make do with whatever i have and just live with it for the next 5months. and i guess this warm-fuzzy-miss-home feel will be gone in a week's time......hmmm~"
