Last post from Europe.
So it's officially BYE europe. N HI Home. :)
7 hours to my flight. 16 n half hours in the air... but got airplane ard me... Not so shiok lorz... LOL... So it's going to be 6 hours of nuahing in the airport. Haha...
Had a heartwarming wake up to this MMS from my dearest Jia who sent me a pix of Biz FOC morning 1. So happy to see soooo many participants to the camp. It's just a heartwarming feeling, reminding me of our very first biz camp last year. I guess the happiest part is to know that there's a continuation to the camp and a continuation to the many events that we had then. Cheers to fellow Bonduers and JIAYOU for the camp! Miss those days last summer despite all the hardwork, late nites and making general office level 5 my almost-1st-home and all. Watching this new CBD grow from heights to heights just leaves u with a feeling hard to describe but yar... Wat's ya say fellow 1st comm? Haha...
Thanks jia! And thanks for wanting to round up pple to get me at the airport. so sweet of u... LOVE YOU! *muakz* By the time u see this i'll be on the plane liaoz lor and no need to come airport k. I scared i see u all then i very touched n sobs. I'll see u soon enough *excited*
And thanks to everyone who offered to pick me up from the airport when my mummy dearest said she can't get me. and my mum did it again... She blur-ly thot i arrive today... 31st... *faintz*
So for now...
BYE Europe! till i come back again... hurh hurh... maybe till i strike lottery or something.

My OBS groupmates are going to meet up... after dunno how long. It's so strange. Somehow the dynamics of this group has changed so much. Somehow i think I'm the cause of it all, but i'm clueless of the reason. One thing i'm so sure about is that not everyone will turn up to meet... even if they are free. If one turns up the other won't. So now i'm wondering if it's me that's the cause of this situation.
Back to the messy life... Boohoo...
Feeling aimless... Needs to find something to do, something to commit to when I get home.

Back in cph for the n time. 4th time to be exact. But this time i'm here coz bo bian, flying off from their airport. Haiz. 2 days of wait... Dunno wat to do here... dun feel like doing anything... esp after the whole blardy luggage episode.
I've been having never ending luggage woes... This time the problem has been solved for good. F***ing *L*. I swear no more of that airline. Asked from Sg side n no excess allowance. So i tried the copenhagen side. Sent them mail only to get a negative respond. Alongside the respond, it tells me to go to their website and check out the special offers for students. (HELLO!!! FOR FUCK?!?! Stated clearly my flight departure date n time liaoz... WHY WOULD I NEED STUDENT OFFERS FOR TIX... and after this... no way i'm flying with ya airline.) Rigid like shit! 20kg for everyone. Hi hi... I'm a overseas student going home... how can i haf the same baggage allowance as holiday-ers? Ridiculous. Anw, it only makes sense to allow more luggage for pple who are moving away from homes for an extended period of time. I'm not asking for unlimited baggage allowance... just asking for another 10kg. Grrrr... Nvm... The email was sent 2 days back... got reply today. Haiz... Went to cph airport to haunt the counter staff but to no avail... giving me the crap that their airline is very strict with luggage, both check in and hand carrier. And by the weight of my luggage as measured in the morning, I would have to pay 450 euros of overweight charges. Hahaha... Can buy another airtix liaoz lor... Or i think can upgrade to first class. And wat's more wth, they can tell me that maybe their staff check in wrongly for my friends who managed to get baggage allowance of 30kg. That muz haf been very big mistakeS then. So i figure they r going to very niao with hand luggage weight. Haiz... After much cursing n swearing and a big bolt of sian-ness, the whole blardy issue is resolved. So now my baggage is flying by freight with SQ and poor me is stuck taking the blardy airlines. My excess luggage damn class lah. WTH. Can i be packed in a bag and be air-freighted by SQ too... I bet it beats facing their staff. :( swear by SQ anytime. Somehow i think zi ji ren will alwiz treat u better. Luggage story next time when i get back.
Dun want my blood to boil again. Took me awhile to get rid of the sian-ness... and guess how? Hahaha... Cph has been sightsee-ed by me twice liaoz... so this time i decided to sight see again... but sightsee the shops along the shopping street. Muahahha... Discovery of the day: 1 debit is down. Ko-song. Left 1 standing weak. Credit cards... errr... better bury them. Got enough debts on them liaoz... esp after today. Boohooo... Now that my (suay) luggage that is gg to be checked in on my flight is empty, i can shop. Hahaha... Empty n i really mean empty. Dunno why still heavy... Grrr...
Was walking around the streets n feeling broke, I suddenly realise how expensive things in Scandanavia are. Okie.. not the first time discovering but the ability to compare the prices with other countries really just thrown me off my foot. It's like money disappears by the hundreds. And none of the figures run below 30DKK which is $7. Pretty much the same for Sweden. And today i realized how cheap some other parts of europe are. I mean they operate on Euros and we complain abt the bad deal we get with Euros. But in terms of SOL, like food, grocerries, the diff is soooo much... *faintz*
Getting delirious... Sleepy... Haven't really slept since last nite... Boooo....

It's time to leave this place i've called home for the past 6 months. Sad as I may be, packing n trashing stuff out and saying goodbyes are unavoidable. This marks the end of my exchange. And in a couple of days, I'll be headed home.
So bye...

Back in jkG (ty... see G)for 3 days liaoz. I'm starting to feel bored and restless. I want to travel somemore. The travel bug has hit be strong and hard. Hooked on to travelling. Maybe coz I get restless pretty easily... Seeing something new just keeps me occupied and entertained. Haha...
Pretty well-rested and well-fed while i'm in jkG. That equals.. growing fat somemore. Haha... Beyond redemption liaoz.
Been packing... trying to figure wat to throw out and wat to keep. I can't believe that i've accumulated so much trash while i'm here for half a year. Somehow i think i could have trashed out more things but the "keepsake" side says to keep them so yar... I haf tons of space to house everything to bring them home... but as the niao *L* airlines has it... i can only haf 20kg of luggage allowance so by left, i figured i can stretch that limit to 30kg with some kind of pleading & w/o paying. So now luggage packed stands @ 1 10kg box that went home before i eurotripped, 1 20kg box of books n rubbish & 1 10kg box of clothes are on it's way home. N i think my luggage is still close to 30kg. What a headache. HOW COME I GOT SO MUCH SAI???
Anyway enough of ranting... While i'm idly resting and lazing ard in slow-pace jkG, I'm thinking of wat i should do next sem... since i dun haf any official SK... i'll need to find somethings to occupy myself.
1) New travel plans waiting... currently pending... HK. BKK still onz?
2) Going out with... (ups for appointments)
3) Gyming
4) Yoga
5) Unpacking
6) Travel journal
7) Work (any part time job lobangs???)
8) something intellectual to enrich my mind.
Hmm... seems like a lot of stuff to do... haha...

the time is coming to an end. it's time to pack and say goodbye to this beautiful place which i've called home for the past half a year. everyone's gone. gone back to their respective home countries to continue with their lives.
I only makes me wonder...
wonder how it's like to be back home again after being away for half a year?
wonder how much things have changed?
wonder how much ya friends have changed and progressed on in life?
wonder how much i've changed and moved on in life?
wonder what happens to the friendships forged here?
wonder how's it like to be amongst the friends u've kinda lost touch of their lives for the past 6 months?
wonder how i'm going to fit back into that old lifestyle?
I really wonder...
I guess... i'll just have to pick up the pace of life and hit the singapore lifestyle once again. Pick up wat has been left behind and can be picked up... Catch up with the progression in lives.
Closing one more chapter of my life real soon and embarking on another...
but it still hurts...
