I remember how excited I was when I first arrived in San Francisco. But 5 days into it, I decided, there's no place nicer than Grand Canyon. Sure, San Frans is a pretty city/town, but when you have one of the world's wonders at your feet, it just feels magical.
I will be leaving the US for Taiwan soon (and home afterwards).
Yes people, I will continue my tour to Taiwan for 9 days.
Will be back in Singapore, 24th September, Changi Airport, 1340
And then, back to my mundane, boring, and possibly, rat-race life
God help me!
The idea of an adult life scares me. Just tell me frankly, how many good people are out there??!Everywhere and everyone is like a transaction deal. They weigh your usefulness, and then decide to use/exploit you. Perhaps its just me, I paint a too dark picture of the working world.. But how many times have I seen people backstabbing each other? If it was prominent at school, the working society is very much worst.
Right, this entry shouldn't be me complaining about my about-to-happen-adult-life-which-I-can't-control.

This summer has been the most...awesome, magical, smashing, great
Magical summer - I am glad I chose Grand Canyon. And not Yellowstone (just so I can be with my friends). I am glad I was courageous to come on my own to Grand Canyon. Put aside all fears (of traveling alone, no friends, blabla). If I hadn't choose Grand Canyon, I wouldn't have made such good friends - 'cos its only when you travel alone that you start making friends. Who would make close friends when you are already traveling with close
My Singaporean friends - CheeMin aka ET, Korinna aka Corona-cum-Bimbo Queen, Mary, Shirlyn, Tai ma aka Pearly, Shushing, Ning+wendy, feny+anggi, haskell-cum-he-likes-to-imitate-Alma, fabian, etc..
I am glad I got to know you guys!
And after they left, I forged closer friendships with Amy, J
which is another reason I am glad I stayed on after the sgporean kids went back home. If I hadn't stay, I wouldn't know these friends in depth, did some pretty crazy stuffs with them. And had a smashing 23rd birthday - thank you Amy + Judy. AND lei f
my 23rd bday.
In a day's time, I will fly back to my side of the globe. No longer would it be Night for me, Day for my Singaporean friends. It would be Night for my US friends, and Day for me.....
Adious US. Till we meet again
to be continued

ReplyDeleteGCNR is a magical place indeed...
maybe it's the magnificient environment over there or...
maybe i'm just out of my mind because staying at a ulu cum isolated place for too long?!
i made some out-of-my-expectation or more appropriate out-of-my-mind decision over thr...decisions which i'll consider as irrational or even stupid by others back here in S'pore!
