The first exchange post

Another day in HK, another day spent walking against the freezing winds and many stairs to get to school. Why are all the universities i've been to, built on hills? NUS, HKU, maybe people think better on hills. And i think its so cold here cos we're on a hill.

Tho i was really homesick as soon as i left the airport to catch the plane here, there are many things to be thankful for. Firstly, for my great buddy who has been nothing short of a great help. She's been so patient and helpful. And also, the s'porean friends, esp Jeanette. Its really good to know i'm not alone and its also great to have someone to accompany me to the supermarket down the hill, walk to school and explore hk together. We had a great time at causeway bay today. Took 23 from school to causeway bay to explore. It only took 20mins to get there. And when i got down, i was so surprised to see the mall that mummy and daddy and i went, the last time we were in HK. So since i was familiar with the place, i brought Jeanette to this pork chop rice place to eat. It was the same place that my bro brought us to, last May. Kind of nostalgic to be there. Kept telling Jeanette where me and my family sat, what we ate. Guess i really miss home. Then, we walked around and went to Sogo and we walked right into a Kate Spade sale. Hmm, it seems that everytime i'm in HK, there's a Kate Spade sale. Saw a nice bag, but it was HKD$2360. Was so close to buying it but thankfully i didn't. Have decided to look around more beore deciding. Then we went to mango and they were having a sale too. Bought a knitted dress for HKD$129. Was thinking of getting a blazer too, but it cost S$50, so i didn't. It sure did feel like i'm on a holiday.

Really feel like going back for the new year, but that'll mean i have to fly back alone and having to bid the people i love, goodbye again. Don't know if i can bear that.

Feeling quite tired already but i need to stay up cos i wanna skype with my baby. Tiny tan, please get home safely and soon. I'm waiting.

Meanwhile, here's my love to everyone back in Singapore. Home is really where the heart is and i think my heart will always be in Singapore.
