It's great to be back!

It's really really good to be back, even though I was away for less than a week! The moment the plane touched down in Changi, there was just this unexplanable feeling of safeness and this smile within me. This, despite me loving my country as much as I used to, or how disappointed I am with a country that doesn't love its citizens as much as it should. Can still remember the time when we came back after 10 days in Cebu, how excited and hyper the whole bunch of us were, to the point that someone remarked that we should all pretend that we were from China, given how weirdly excited we were to be in Changi Airport and how we were crazily snapping photos here and there. We even took a neoprint, with me putting my soft toy cat in my blazer pocket.

Anyway, I guess I just like the safeness I feel here. Maybe that's the reason why I should just on a holiday by myself in future. I guess even though I don't mind looking after others, at the end of the day, I still like someone else to look out for me too, if I'm not out alone. Perhaps being the one who does everything, yet at the same time feeling as if I'm on my own just took a toil on me at the end of the trip. That's perhaps why I still love my Cebu trip, or Beijing trip so much, because it wasn't so much of one person looking after everyone, but more of everyone looking after everyone (although I think I was way too spoilt for the Cebu trip).

Ok lah.. but the trip wasn't bad, really. I did like wandering around =) And it's always nice to be able to speak the most common language in a country. Oh... and the food there is nice!! (Though I need to lose weight again!!) And they were having elections there too! So they had those vans with speakers moving around. Too bad I didn't get to watch any rallies though =)

Photos later, perhaps. For now, it's more photos of the mass call first:

Photo with the family first

And of course, the next photo will be with Weiling. The photo is quite dark though

Next up, the photos with the other pupils from Rodyk. Not every single one of them though. Just realised I didn't manage to get a photo taken with Wanqing again!

Laura, who's Ben (ie. tomato)'s room mate and who gave me sufficient things to keep be busy and slightly cheerier when I was in RE and IP:

My plaintiff for FMS:

Friends I made during PLC (maybe with the exception of Stephanie, my most-often-negotiation-partner):

Err... and Law school friends and one of their girlfriends (ie. Mark's):

And of course, Tee Meng, who came down too!

I think someone is still quite pissed off with me for the photo incident that day. Actually, when he typed the words "not your fault for not wanting to take photo with me" and then "i'm not andy lau nor aaron kwok" I actually felt even worse. He's not that bad looking really.. and I'm sure he has way more confidence in himself than that, so that was just an obvious reflection of how angry he still is. Don't know lah.. I'm getting a bit tired of apologising and apologising and it sounds super irritating too. We'll see how it goes. Somehow though, I've this nagging feeling that he won't be able to make it for lunch in the end. Still, I guess I'll just try my luck then... at most.. to quote what we used to hear often in primary school, "don't friend then don't friend lohz". I don't know. Since I was in the wrong, I shall see how it goes?

Somehow, he reminds me of JianPing, particularly that incident in the LT during the NJCO camp period. I guess the only difference is that JianPing will blow up, whereas he doesn't?

Talking about JianPing.. it's 3 more days, I think!

Income hasn't gotten back to me YET, as usual. When on earth will you be telling me when I'm starting, where I'll be posted to and my salary??? If you are really not interested in taking me in, I can always work elsewhere, so just tell me! I hate being neither here nor there. If you want to disallow me from practising first, you jolly well have a position ready and not take a million years to do something.
