Homecoming

Returned to London the day before from my last trip in Norway to meet up with Weisiong and Andrea. Feeling kinda paiseh that they had to drag my huge luggage from their friend's place to our hotel as I was meeting them at the hotel directly instead. (It's 30 plus kg btw...tt fat silver case of mine) So thanks to them alot! Anw...hate the road directions in London..it's messy and the house numbers don't run in order....45 belgrave road = almost 2 blocks away from 30 something belgrave road with some eccelston square or junction or street placed in between....and I hate the feeling of lugging my backpack to search for hostels and looking super lost in the middle of the night...

Anw all was cool when I managed to find the hotel...hmm...w8 a min...ain't realy a hotel....quite a run-down place....but at least we had the whole place to ourselves for repacking our stuff to go b S'pore. After repacking, my silver case weighed 31.8kg and my backpack was 22.3 kg.....wows!! How the heck did I come up with so much stuff?!?

The next morning on the 14th was total logistics movement to Heathrow Airport. It's super super tiring to even lug our stuff for abt 100m to the Victoria Coach Station (I had the hard case, my 100 litres backpack, my laptop bag and a shopping bag!!) but we eventually made it!!

Spent the whole day in Heathrow Airport camping with Weisiong as we waited for our evening flights...our dear gohwees felt a bit emo that we were going to leave...as for me...din realy know wat to feel....feeling a bit numb and mixed...constantly had the thought that "where it all started....now ends here"

13hr direct flight where I slept most of it, watched a bit of movies and talked to the really nice lady beside me who also happens to be a chem eng by training and dabbling in waste enginnering stuff now...but yah....slept through most of the journey....pretty much like the first time i came to the UK. Feels like a total dream to me, a lovely dream though....this whole SEP experience...sleeping on board the first time to the UK and waking up to a whole new magical wold of discovery and likewise another sleep on the journey home to awaken to reality.....will things ever be the same again? Haha....I really dun know....

Anw...I was glad to finally see my family at the arrival gate...and we settled down for some good ol' Singapore food in the food court, where I had ban mian, popiah and ice kachang....each for less than a pound!! Yeah!!

Dad and Mum looked radiant (omg...Mum put make-up) ....Eugene's hair even longer now and he's brimming with energy (he sld be cos he's now a freshie!!)...but I am super tired and burnt out from the travelling and not washed up for the past day on the plane....and I am a very old, going-to-be-4th-yr student le.. :p....haha so I look awfully terrible in the photos....(aiyoh...Mum very insistent on taking photos....)

I'm back....finally back at home in sunny ol' Singapore now!
