i'm going back to Singapore tommorow.
i'm gonna miss home so much.

it never occured to me that i would miss my family and appreciate them even more when i'm physically further away from them. last year i always looked forward to coming back, but for different reasons. i'd be anticipating the day i can meet up with friends, and fill my self with yummies =D. but now, a simple dinner with my family is all it takes to satiate me.

family, i believe, is the essence of life.
where would i be without them?
they are the only people whom i can trust completely.
but after hearing so many stories about other people's rather unharmonious families, i know i'm lucky.
we are small, yes, but we're such a close and caring unit. each of us have upheld our responsibilities, especially mum and dad. and even Joyee, his growth and maturity have amazed me.
i am really proud of them.
and friends... people change. i dare not say i have not. maybe friendships work like enzymes. with different environments, different temperatures, the lock-key theory holds. there is no effective collision, thus there is no point. except for sentimentality that tugs at heartstrings, very much begging to not be forgotten.
then the hectic life rushes in and displaces the sentimentality, and only at times like this when one is alone, and has time to reflect and reminisce about the past, does one feel the loss.

but some friends give me hope... friends who unexpectedly call, or messages you online. there are few, yet they make my life so much more meaningful.
to my friends, and my family,

thank you.
