i don't like saying goodbye
this studying abroad business used to be fun and exciting
now its just work in a foreign land

spent national day this year in singapore
in fact i've spent every national day in singapore i think
cos its during summer hols

but this year it felt different
when kit chan sang Home it swept me back to when i was in primary school and heard it for the first time, and i remember bits of what life was like then, and what i've gone through to the present day.
and i knew that i was home, truly.

ok that was a lie
i knew i was home when i saw my parents at changi and felt the humidity in the car park.
but the song reinforced it.


i've said goodbye so many so many times
and it really doesn't get easier
in fact it gets more difficult cos everyone is growing older and it is worrying.

i hate saying goodbye
but i need to be strong and carry on
then i can come home, truly.
