i miss... 10:58 PM- My family and friends in Singapore. You, you and you. (open to interpretation, haha)
- The food back home, and especially hanging out at 24-hour supper places
- The ez-link card, together with our very efficient MRT and bus networks
- Our warm and sunny island, cos it's subzero every day here now
- Nice long slim A4 papers, instead of short broad letter-sized ones that don't fit snugly into my files
- Knowing beforehand the after-tax prices of stuff I'm buying
- Wearing my comfy airy Birks out
- Wearing my pyjamas gowns to sleep
- The tap in Singapore - yes, no need for hot or cold; just the main one
- Jogging outside comfortably in singlet and shorts
- Better complexion and skin condition, it's simply too dry here
- Nua-ing in bed with my 4 fluffy pillows, especially my duck-feathered ones..
And many many more. :(
I can't decide if I should be looking forward to going home in 8 weeks, or to dread that my exchange experience is about to end in 2 months. Yes, I may be sentimental and homely, but I'll definitely miss Winnipeg, its slower pace of life and the many friends I've made here too. Maybe I'll even miss snow, although it's starting to get messy and ugly at times (sand is scattered over snow-covered walkways to increase traction, causing it to be brown and murky), and I think I might get tired of trudging in snow in 1-2 weeks' time. Haha.. but yes, part of me is really excited to be going home and meeting up with everyone again.
The list above is totally random, and it's amazing how small little things here can be different from back home yea? I was inspired to come up with it after my sleepover at Judy's place, when she asked all about Singapore and forced me to zoom into the tiny details. Heh.. 8 weeks my dear friends, 54 days more..!

The recent little snippets of life in Winnipeg which I'll also miss:
Sleepover at Judy's place over the Remembrance Day public hol (11 Nov), where we attempted to make pecan pie. It was erm.. tasty, just that we didn't know why the middle was marshy and soft when it's supposed to set on its own. HAHA. We made a "home-cooked' dinner and a great hearty breakfast too! (Note: Dinner was made mostly with instant foods, even the salad was prepared using a salad starter kit pre-mixed with dressing and croutons..) But breakfast was a good spread, cos I was the head chef! Heh.
Booze and snacks pot-luck - the get-together we'd held at our place for our fellow international friends, during which we introduced Indian Poker and Circle of Death to the lot.
This is just a random choc bar that I tried recently - the Mr. 2 Big! Haha. :)

About me
You are an enthusiastic innovator, always seeing new possibilities and new ways of doing things. You have a lot of imagination and initiative for starting projects, and a lot of impulsive energy for carrying them out. You are stimulated by difficulties and are most ingenious in solving them. You can get so interested in your newest project that you have time for little else. Your energy comes from a succession of new enthusiasms and your world is full of possible projects. Your enthusiasm gets other people interested too.
Your feeling preference shows in a concern for people. You are skillful in handling people and often have remarkable insight into the possibilities and development of others. You are extremely perceptive about the attitudes of others, aiming to understand rather than judge people. You are much drawn to counseling and can be inspired and inspiring teacher, particularly where you have freedom to innovate. With talent, you can succeed in almost any field that captures your interest.
A difficulty for you is that you hate uninspired routine and find it remarkably hard to apply yourself to sometimes necessary detail unconnected with any major interest. Worse yet, you may get bored with your own projects as soon as the major problems have been solved or the initial challenge has been met. You may need to learn to follow through and finish what you have begun, but are happiest and most effective in jobs that permit one project after another, with somebody else taking over as soon as the situation is well in hand.
Hearsay? Say here.
