it's been a while since i've been home!
ok, i was going to say something about how bad army is and how it takes away all my free time and how i really hate it but enough of that already :)
i went to estelle's party last week, which was not that bad. turned out that it was the only time that i finally managed to meet almost-all of my aussie friends! which was really great.
i miss aussie a lot, but at the same time, not at all. the freedom to do whatever i want, the way i want, as and when i want - that's something to really treasure. so you see, i've actually got all these things right here at home, now that my mom finally thinks that i'm old enough to help myself. but i miss all my friends, and almostall of the best ones are in australia. i think it's something to do with living with them; my dependence on them has emotionally attached me strongly. the good times, the bad times, the funny times and the times where we just waste the day away together out of pure boredom really will never leave me.
call me patriotic if you will, but i actually really love singapore a lot. many people are overly critical, but i've been really fortunate, having visited countless countries all over the world. but the familiarity and the years of my life here don't want me to go back to australia. over the past weeks i've been thinking of where to study, and of what to study in the coming years, and so far it's boiled down to between singapore and melbourne. my parents are bugging me to try for medicine in that irish university, but no, i don't want to. now i'm not even sure if i want to do medicine anymore. or biomed. maybe business? or engineering? i never imagined that i would ever be able to cope with those areas, but just by saying 'no' do many people limit their options.
for now though, i'm still going back to australia, and i'm still going to do 3 years of biomed, and i'm still going to study like mad and i'm still going to try to apply for post grad medicine in nus. for now :)
i'm really happy, because i've finally gotten myself to start reading the bible. and to start praying, and to do it for more than 1 day a week (or month or year or years) other than sunday. so for this week, i did my mini-qt about 4 times, 3 of which were consecutive days :) i love my God :)
