This is the first time i spend my New Year alone. But even if i were to be in Singapore, i would likely be by the tv because basically i hate crowds. Sometimes i realize my friends have a way with their words which really warms my heart. That day when i reported to a few that i have arrived safely back to Arizona, to my surprise, Peggy and Eleanor responded almost immediately. What peggy had always mentioned to me is that I will always be missed or remembered fondly by many in Singapore. Such caring and thoughtful words melt my heart.
There is something which i always seemed to forget to ask of my friends that: What do you see in me that makes you want to keep me as a friend? What was your first impression of me? Not that i would change my personality or character if i had the answers but i am always on the move of becoming a better person. Despite my impulsiveness and carelessness, all my shortcomings are accepted by these long-time friends that i would really want to change for the better so as to be worthy of their friendship. Mr Tan SH's generosity is something that i wish i can return soonest possible too.
Was glad that i was on the early flight back to arizona, this will 'hinder' any friends to send me off! Though i know mum cried already that morning in the house and i could see she and my sis missed me badly when sending me off. Afterall, we had been living together since i was born, 骨肉相连，how not to be sad that we are more than 9100 air miles away?
By the time i returned to singapore this december which is something i really look forward to. Hopefully all my friends will not chuck me aside...

I guess the answer is simply that you are always being who you are- unpretentious, sincere, and always being able to laugh things off even if the joke was at your own expense.
Take good care of yourself over at Arizona, k? Remember that you can always email us if you need someone to talk to .
Plan for the trip when you are free and do let us know. ;) Am saving up for the trip... hee hee.
oh i was reading up on frommer's guide on alaska, seems like cruise is fun too. Can take fr seattle to alaska. Then hor, there might be a discount on RV, the one tat can take 6 persons, abt 90US per day, not addin gas, camp site, etc.. still need to find out more though..
Cruise... Sound fun!
Got to depend on you to research liao. Am quite keen. If need be, I can get my friend to join us to max up to 6 people.
got 2 friends on stand by for alaska. Think we need to 'skip' cruise cos dun get to go on land as much. So likely we will be meeting at Anchorage cos RV can be rented there. Can venture more with driving than taking cruise. If really keen to take cruise, maybe we can do a day one. Denali national park is a must see. If you guys got time to read up, tell me where else you like to go. Will update again when i check on more stuff on alaska...
