Dear HK blog,
I still miss the carefree, awesome days of 2007... A new life stage has dawned upon me and most of those around me, I'm embracing it with anticipation and excitement cos I know God has good plans for me. But I still maintain that 2007 in HK was one of the best periods of my life, and I'll always try to remember those days and that wonderful feeling of being 21 :)
Time Flies...

Less than 48 hours to home sweet home
I'm currently blogging from one of the computers in the Run Run Shaw library, where I have been studying hard for my final exam, corp finance 2, since 5 hours ago. Surprisingly, I'm not bored or feeling stressed despite studying for 5 hours in a row, which is something I have never quite done before, and in the library as well! I never had the habit of going to libraries all my life, but somehow, it is so conducive right here :) I've been busy going around running final errands such as major shopping for work clothes, settling accounts etc, studying for my papers(which have been rather alright so far, thank God!), and of course, catching up with all the good friends I've made here, and livin' it up in Hongkong to the fullest.
Less than 2 days left. It's all starting to sink in for Ame and I. Before we slept last night (or rather, this morning), we talked, for the countless time, about the past 5 months and how surreal it is to have reached this point in time at the end of our exchange. She's such a great roomie, such a blessing, and as we sat together and prayed, I felt this sisterly bond between us and for sure, she is one of my closest friends ever. I really thank God for all my experiences and all the blessings, and also for the many temptations and little down periods. Being away from home these 5 months has given me a fresh start to life, and I feel recharged and renewed to start a new phase of life when I get back to Singapore on sunday. What makes this experience even more special, is the fact that I turned 21 here, which is such a a significant milestone in life. I know nothing happened by chance or accident, and at this moment in time, I feel very safe, comforted and blessed knowing the future is in His hands despite whatever obstacles and challenges to come. Returning home on sunday morning will be a challenge in itself, it seems as if I'll be leaving a part of myself here in Hongkong. Maybe Ame is right, maybe when I finally sit alone on the plane for the 3 and a half hour plane ride back, maybe I'll be crying cos this part of my life is gone for good. But of course, I'm looking forward to returning to my beloved family and loved ones and the many little joys and pleasures that home has to offer :) I hope at least on that plane ride back, I'll be able to get down to penning down my reflections while events are still fresh in my mind. haha. I hope I dont fall asleep on plane rides like I always do!!!
For now, it's back to studying. Then, I'll have my final exam tomorrow morning, do some last min shopping, packing, partying! And then I'll be flying back on SQ857 sunday morning. I keep picturing the scene of arriving at Changi Airport now, and looking for my family through the glass windows, haha, it's so surreal, really. And I will finally get to reunite with my wonderful extended family for dinner on sunday, buffet dinner at a hotel! =) Thanks to my lovely parents who want this to be a welcome-back party for me as well as my grandma's belated birthday celebration. I cant wait, really. Then of course, on monday morning 830am, I shall have to report for a 10 week internship at DBS Building at Shenton Way, dressed from head to toe in work clothes. Gosh, I really feel 21 now!
