Home is where the heart is.
I never truly grasped that idea only until recently.. Don't get me wrong, I do love Singapore and love my folks here even more. Before I left for Perth in feb, it never did cross my mind that I'd actually miss Perth, THIS MUCH. Perhaps I never thought I'd be able to truly "belong", to find my place in Perth, but due to a twist of events, and an act of nature, I fit right in place.
At St Catherine's, I've made friends with some of THE most amazing girls, girls that I consider my family. I suppose the college environment just fuels the bond, seeing each other every single day through our good moments and bad, be it our "just out of bed, messy hair and PJ's look" or our glamed up and dolled up dinner looks, or our exam stress induced insanity or the regular emo moments.. These bring us together, like a family, we love each other for just how we are, through bad times and good, and more aptly, through laughter and through tears (which I think I contribute a lot to).
I have these girls to thank, for giving me a family that I will look forward to returning to.
I suppose that's the blessing of Perth and a blessing that God has given me so abundantly. The friendships in college and out of have enriched my life. The folks I meet in class, especially my colleagues from Sg in dental school with me, my church-mates, my new found Christian union friends and of course a special someone. They've formed a circle of support around me and I'm just really glad and blessed to be able to not only do what I love to do, but find a group of friends that I love and will grow to love. As of now, I'll miss my girls to bits and of course, that special someone. =D
