im so tired.

tired of..
adapting.
being so wary of everything that's going around me.
doing housework.
not having someone to talk to.
missing everybody back home.

but i know.
this is an experience for me..
to learn to be independent
to explore the world
to gain more knowledge
to be a stronger girl when i return to sg.

so all my loved ones,
i'll continue to hold on..
although i really miss you guys.
don't worry about me.
i'm sure things will be better. (:

With God, all things are possible.

alright. it's time to update this blog. haha!
dint really wanna post much cos past few weeks, too many things happened. i dont even know where to start.
it was like an emotional roller coaster for me.

i know if i start blogging, it'll be all emo and defintely i'll be crying while typing. haha! and im sure alot of ppl dont want that.

it's been 2 weeks in the netherlands, maastricht.
but i'm not used to it yet..i'm taking quite some time to settling down.
staying with ppl whom i do not know is not easy at all.
I'm now staying with 2 spanish girls who already are friends before hand.
so it's a lil difficult for me.
First of all, communication is a major problem as their english standard is really not that good. but i'm fine with that..well, i was a part time piano teacher before i came. so thank God i've trained my patience well. (:
2ndly, it's difficult to talk to them like how i talk to my friends. it's just a lil formal sorta thing? like if im not happy with something, i cant just tell them. i need to really put it in a nice way, it gets tiring after sometime.
This has made me realised how much i should cherish my friends and i really miss all of them. esp you EDNA LEE!
Last but not the least at all, THEY ARE SO MESSY AND UNTIDY!!!!
Kitchen has been really stinky the past few days cos they left their dishes undone overnight and also the stove area. ALL OILY AND DIRTY! i've already washed their dishes so many times for them. and i really dono how they use so many utensils at once! seriously! how many mouths do you have?! gosh! so i told one of the girls nicely, hey! i've washed up the dishes already, would you mind cleaning up the stove area? it's really dirty and oily.

and so, she said yea yea i will do it later.
but the later is like in forever?
i dono how much of this i can take. i really need some getting used to.
and this made me cherish my maid alot! thank you marissa! (:

School has started over here..but my timetable sucks big time.
it's like mon to friday! and the worst is i only have 2 hours each day..so i just wish i can like push all into like a 2/3 days week. but i cant! and poof! there goes my travelling plans! and this season is good to travel cos it's not too cold yet! hopefully i can figure some way out. =)

I've been skyping alot lately.
home, calvin edna and glendon. It just feels so good to see them again..although they are so near yet so far. But to see those familiar faces just give me a more homely feeling.

but everytime after i call home, i will have serious homesick.
i really miss my family. the noise there is in the house.
the apartment i'm leaving in is so damn quiet. the area too..it's like ghost town. =(
i miss mummy's cooking. i fail so badly at cooking.. (calvin i hope this will not affect you.) i tried cooking sunny side up.. but it became ugly scrambled egg cos the egg yolk like burst! =( den i tried frying potatoes, but got burnt. like seriously i need cooking class 101. if anybody out there has any good but easy recipes, pls email me! it'll be so appreciated! (:

considering that there's no rice cooker here, i've not eaten rice for the past 2 weeks and i really wanna eat RICE!!!! enough of pizzas, sandwiches and pastas! someone give me rice!!! i bought tangyuan from the asian supermarket though. (:
happy..hopefully it can cure my homesickness. gonna cook it someday! i'll make sure it's good and i'll take pic of it! (:

Alright, i think that's enough updates for now.
life is getting boring in here..i want this period 1 to pass quickly and hopefully period 2, i will have a better timetable and whee! TRAVEL!

dono if daddy mummy will be coming over, it'll be really nice to see them though.
i think i will cry when i see them! it's like some sense of security or something. seems like i'm still their small kid. i think i will nv grow out of that. and i dont think i'll ever want to. It;s just damn nice to know that there's someone looking out for you. I miss that.

daddy, mummy, brandon, jie, calvin, edna and glendon: thanks for being there for me, although i'm halfway round the world. I love you guys! (:
