Goodbye

I know, there should be a proper closure to our lives in STL, to my blog. I've been so lazy to update anything, really. It could also be perhaps that I just didn't want an end to my blog. Yet, I want it to end "gracefully".

Have been back for a week. It still seems so surreal. Especially when I'm in the train, or whenever I'm squeezing my way through the throngs of crowd. These are the moments when my life come to a standstill and my mind goes back to STL. I'm trying to get used to the public transport once more, to the heat & crowd nevertheless. "Joo Koon"? I was a little lost on my 1st train ride. The crowd was something I need to really get accustomed to in no time; suddenly I felt like my own personal space has shrink considerably and everyone is standing so near me! I was indeed very conscious of the hands nearby; blame it on the media reports of the happenings during NY. Heat is another problem, not surprisingly. Couldn't live without the fan/ aircon. Meals in the KPT is still very unbearable, and I have been saying no to hot soup and porridge to my mum at home.

During the times when we walk through the aisles in NTUC,I couldn't help but keeping missing the leisure times I enjoyed shopping in Dierbergs. Come to think of it, the only time I truly enjoyed grocery shopping was when we were in STL. Wide aisles, quiet mart, slow life, best combi isn't it?

Despite the "tough" times here, I am still trying my best to integrate back into the society. Left with no other options, this is sadly the only way out...


*P.S. I haven't decide to go back to my old blog, to set up a new one, or to stop blogging indefinitely. We'll see how my life goes.
