hmm... its been sometime since i last updated on this blog... or even take a look at it... guess i m a bit hung up abt the Moblog i am having... there seems to be more interaction on that...
I guess it somehow reflects on how i am feeling now... somehow, i miss Singapore... i dun mean juz my family and frens... but everything that i have grown up with.... all the familiar things, food, places, etc... on Moblog... there is "Singapore" stamp all over it... you can really identify with it somehow... i guess i only feel this way when i am here...
After communicating with my frens here, mostly from the so-called Western countries, i really feel that Singapore is really unique... there is really no place like Singapore... We have so many "New Year"s to celebrate... We are so small and packed with loads of funny pple... Everyone in Singapore seems to be either studying really hard... or working like is no tommorrow... or maybe its juz me... =P
why am i here tonight? I am supposed to study for the last paper of my exchange... Behavioral Finance... interesting subject... but the point is.. i suddenly feel the need to reflect on sthg... and this is alwiz a good place to let things out... i think i need to reflect on wat has this exchange done to me...
I have been to a lot of places ard europe... (spent quite a lot of money too, but i will earn it back soon enuff.. no doubt, no worries) i have learnt quite a bit on Europe as a whole... at least much better than in the past... the pple... how within Europe they are still different.. the history... the rich history that no one can really say they know it all... been to more museums then i had every been in my life... abt art stuff... history... watever... i muz say they are quite interesting.. and enlightening... hmm.. i guess these are really the more tangible stuff...
then i really learnt to live on my own... i may not have even realised it... but i guess i really did... being the only singaporean here... there is really no one that i can truly relate to... even the asians here... i need to start to learn how to "deal" with them... dun even tok abt the europeans and the americans... i guess the good thing abt the school is really the diversity... where in one place... you are forced to live and have fun with them... when do you stay out of everythign and when do you choose to join in and have fun... i guess.. its all up to individuals too...
i have learnt that travelling alone can be really nice.... of coz.. travelling with frens is fun too but... its a really different feeling... i went to some germany cities and Amsterdam alone... took the trains and boats myself... met some interesting strangers along the way... i really enjoyed it... its a totally different experience that i will not forget... trust me.... i will do it again.. =)
living with someone esle... thats sthg that i have to say i am still trying to adjust to.... i guess that will depends on ur luck too... who you are staying with.... in an exchange, most prob you will get to live with someone with totally different way of living.... i mean... its not juz me... almost everyone who shares a room got sthg to say abt their room mates... good or bad... a lot or little... there is sthg... even for pple from the same country... there is a difference... for some... it looks ok on the outside... seems to be good buddies... but there is still sthg that i dun like or he dun like... not to mention those that do tok to each other much.... i guess that will have to be in my case... the most we talked was when we 1st met in the room.... amazing how living together can shape a relationship... =) like i alwiz say.... everything happens for a reason... and i like to say is a good learning experience...
haha.. i realised i have be blabbling non-stop for quite sometime... maybe its the Nat King Cole i am listening to... =p there is really a lot of other things to blabble.. but i would leave it here for now... gonna try to start on some BF... :)
Good Luck Lin.
