Yay, it is very comforting to be stepping on home soil again. The feeling of euphoria surrounded me when the plane's wheels hit the tarmac of the runway. It is the same feeling I get the many times I have returned home, and everytime without fail, the air stewardess will say something like this shortly after landing; "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to singapore, and to all returning Singaporeans, a very warm welcome home." Awwww, cue warm and fuzzy feeling. The first thing I did when I saw my mum was give her a nice long hug. Hehe. My sis was saying I'm the only person who came out of the arrival gate and hug someone. Nothing wrong with showing affection right? Haha. We had a nice long chat throughout the journey home, afterwhich she cooked something for me to eat. I was rather tired already, given that GC is 2 hrs ahead, and I have been sleeping rather early the past week or so. Konked out shortly after midnight.
Anyway I didn't manage to finish my post yesterday, wanted to post some pictures too, but the public address system annouced for me to board the plane. Timing was a little bit tight yesterday, as I finished my final exam at about 11.45am. My friends came to school to pick me at about 12.15pm, reached the airport an hour later. After checking in and everything, it was almost 2pm already, leaving me with about 20mins to write whatever I could. It was a very nice gesture from my friends who sent me to the airport, I was initially expecting just one or two of them to accompany me, instead 4 of them came along! I'm sure it's the perfect excuse to spend the afternoon in Brisbane after dropping me off. Haha. Even so, I'm truly grateful for their graciousness.
Exams, yes exams. I had one paper on Monday, and one yesterday morning. Preparation for them were rather last minute, as I spent the whole of last week doing an assignment that was due last Friday. Overall the papers were challenging, but manageable. I was sufficiently prepared, and surprisingly managed to remember all the concepts and frameworks that I was supposed to. I'm hopeful for a couple of distinctions and a couple of credits, but I'll be happy with whatever I get. =)
Here are some final shots of my last few days at Mermaid. I miss the beach already! I'm used to hearing the roar of the waves slapping against the hard sand, even from my room, it's rather uneasy to not be hearing them anymore.
