Huuuuuurrah! *stretches comfortably* It feels so, so good to be home. :') A temporary goodbye to everything in Shanghai: winter, shiverings, heavy coats, socks, boots, school, cycling, dormitory etc. and a good o' hello to everything in Singapore: humid summer, sweat, short sleeves, shorts, slippers, local food... oh god, I missed everything so much when I was away.
I guess it wasn't as bad for me as compared to the rest because after all, Shanghai is another home of mine. A place I'll always feel connected to. I won't lie and say that I feel an equal sense of belonging to both cities, but I won't put one above another either. Because they mean different things to me... and they will always matter to me. Always. And I know that because everytime I return to either city, it always feels like I've never left the place before. I've never woken up in Singapore wondering why am I no longer feeling cold, nor woken up in Shanghai feeling unused to the cold. It's weird. I'm guessing my body got used to my double identity, hehe.
One month is actually really short and I keep reminding myself to make full use of it, to do the things I planned to do, eat everything I craved overseas, and meet everyone I've been missing for the past 4 months or so. :( The art of maintaining relationships is something I would actually fail if it was a subject in school. And the fact that I'm fully aware of it is actually really frustrating.
... just want to say that I missed y'all. :'/
