I am home.

I woke up in my plane seat. The pilot announced that we are landing soon.
I closed my eyes again, and felt that familiar sensation when your plane is skidding down the lane and slowing down.
As I open my eyes, I saw the lady next to me was staring at the window to my right. Her eyes were weary but there was a faint smile across her face.
I know what she was thinking about, I felt it too.

I am home.

I walked out to that familiar changi airport, with all the bustling crowd.
I realised there is some kind of renovation going down and it changed the floor plan so I had to get a map to find out where I should eat.
My eyes stopped at one name : Subway.
Oohh it felt like nothing before...imagine biting into your favorite homemade dish you haven't tasted in ages. Delicious and nostalgic at the same time. I spent couple of hours there waiting for maura.
We went home together, and I made sure to take a long good look at changi before leaving.

Day 1
Spent the whole day cleaning maura's flat.


okay so maura rented this flat to share with 7 others, it belongs to a family of a father, a son and a daughter... and it is super horribly awfully DIRTY!! ewww I ended up helping them clean up

had periods of longings, would miss some people so bad I cry to sleep at nights.
had new bestfriends, families, crushes, tasks, responsibilities, lessons learnt and many more.

2011 is here and Im gonna turn 20 soon.
how do I feel? idk... :/
its not much really, age is only a number afterall, but yea I did some reflections..
there was definitely regrets and sadness, but hey I gained alot more than most others at my age..
and there were decisions I would never ever regret, that made me who I am today.
I can only say thanks to God for all my 20 years of life, and pray He continues blessing me.

for 2011:
spend my birthday and new year with friends for a change
get back to exercising and vegetarianism. must lose weight >:[
get serious in studies, set my priorities straight and get those damn As
get a car :) or specifically get permission to bring my car to bandung
try to get along with my family, seems I'm too used to living without them around that I have grown apart from them. my mum esp pointed this out...and yea its true sometimes I dont feel comfortable having them around.
go on exchange on summer 2011 :)
decide on what course to take (Industrial OR Physical engineering)
and as a bonus : get on with my love life HAHA

I wonder if anybody still bothers to read this..

Happy New Year! :D
