The decision to return to Singapore wasn't an easy one, mainly because there was a firewall of opposition. Thankfully I hacked through it (going on the offensive by bawling my eyes out) and made it to home. (Less metaphorically, my mum and uncle, and many others, opposed to my coming back, giving reasons like: the economy is bad, best thing to do now is to study, or you are being immature, think again. The only person who supported was my father, which I am grateful for. The thing is, I was extremely uncomfortable there. It is not that my life in Sydney was terrible, no. I had great friends, friends who listened, who helped, who are sincere. I had good, caring, talented teachers and had the opportunity to learn from them. I had a comfortable place to live in, much better than most of my friends. Yet, I wasn't happy. Instead it was like this slow, creeping depression is setting in. I could be light, happy and laughing in the day, and mournfully sad in the night, like there would be a weight over my chest. Therefore, I knew that something was off. I needed to come home. I needed a break So I told my mum and got the go ahead to come back.)
Therefore, I have deferred from school for a year. Which means I will have a year in Singapore before resuming my studies in LCB, Sydney. During my stay here, I plan to find a job (hotels or patisseries), pick up driving and learn Japanese. I want to do one thing at a time and do it well. So no rushing or whatsoever.
Time to clean up and get back on track. Catch you guys later.
End.
Hi to mum, hi to men in black (glasses), sorry to be back. :P
End.
