2 DAYS LEFT

in the Garden City (aka Singapore).... aka the land of "ironies" (ie "no forced labor" yet requiring all men to attend National Service for 2 years)... the place that taught me so much about myself... and other people... the place that did wonders for my independence and pushed me so far outside my comfort zone.

There are only 2 days left here in the place that changed my life.. for the better. Please forgive me for my extreme nostalgia that I am feeling right now. I am so sad that this experience is coming to an end, yet so happy that it happened. In a way, it is good that it is ending, because 1 )all good things must come to an end eventually, right? and 2) it has made you truly appreciate the time you have left with people you care about. I look back on it all, and in the middle of the program it felt like such a long process, or time frame. And now that tomorrow is MAY SEVENTH (?!?!?!?!) it all seems so short.

I've never been so grateful for something in my entire life.. now I must find some motivation to study for the Human Motivation final that I have tomorrow (yet another irony). In less than 24 hours, my academic experience in Singapore will be complete. EEEEKK!!

PS. I will miss many many many things about Singapore, especially these girls:


{Forever Young}

However, I will NOT miss the insane amount of bug bites that I have right now. :(
