I'M BACK!!! | Written by 【 Uniquely XC™ 】

Okay, sorry guys for the the long gap between my last post and now. NO, I have not died in the cold wilderness of Canada. Frankly, I am better than ever! I am enjoying myself too much here with all the activities and friends. Now, when it is less that 2 weeks before school here and my high school life officially ends for me, I am starting to hope that would slow to a halt.

I guess the feeling is the same, when I was first leaving Singapore for here, I have exactly the same emotions as I have now. All the friends, despite having only 8 months and sometimes even less than that, seems to be there for a long time and having to leave all of them just like that seems to be a little harsh. No doubt, I am looking forward to meeting all of you in Singapore. BUT the excitement seem to be be buried under all the sorrow and despair I am experiencing right now.

Despite coming from Singapore and them from Northern China, there is very little cultural gap and even if there is any, it will be dismissed with a joke almost immediately. Alright, maybe I sometimes cannot communicate with the friends here, sometimes we do argue over trivial things, sometimes I can't understand their behavior and actions. HOWEVER, there is just this bond, that we are all alone in the foreign environment and that we are like a family. Mugging together, having meals together, going singing, pool, movies together. My life revolves around these special group of people, and Im pretty sure the feeling is mutual for them as well.

You may not understand, but being alone in someplace so far away will no doubt change your attitude.

I am going to visit them, I am and I will. Changchun, China, here I come! And if you are reading this, 来新加坡玩啊啊!!!

On a brighter note, I am accepted into McMaster Health Sciences, which according to our school's University Counsellors, the most competitive program to get in from high school, accepting only 160 students from the 2500 applications it receives!
