I’m with you…
So I admitted- Singapore is like my second home. For goodness sake, after spending 6 years of my growing teenage life there, who wouldn’t admit that it’s like home? What I am today and what I think, the way I speak, were all influenced by the environment I was brought up, by the friends i’ve met. I remembered once, I even thought of my house as a hotel, always checking-in and out for the very short stays…
Man, reading the blogs, staying at home not doing anything else, the non-message phone screen makes me miss all the times in Singapore. Yet, I know that the times will never be the same anymore. Everyone’s busy with work. I see the emails in my inbox decreasing, the lengths getting shorter, the frequency of receiving one becomes longer. I had one week free before French class starts again, but I couldn’t just drop by. I have no more permanent place to stay there, the guys are on ns, the girls are working. It’s just a different world now.
Are we heading towards that? I was reading today and suddenly this thought hit me- are the friends that I’m gonna invite to a party the next time are merely gonna be my colleagues. What happens to the friends i’ve made for the last 12 years in school?
On other news, I do not know whether to wait or to move on. Auckland has replied and so has Queensland, as expected, I was accepted. University application in NZ and Aus is not as competetive as US and UK. Most likely heading on to Auckland, but I do hope that SIA replies soon.
Student Visa application to New Zealand is extremely tedious, not only do I need to fulfill the standard offer letter, confirmation of accomodation and medical check up, I will also need a letter of good conduct from MFA Malaysia as well as Singapore, because i’ve stayed more than 5 years there since I turned 17. Gah…
Actually, I don’t know what am I waiting for. Would it change my decision to go to Swiss instead? No matter how I look at it, Swiss just doesn’t seem like a feasible choice. Hotel management and all… What do I do now?
