I'm back in Singapore. Landed on Sun night. I went home with a bittersweet feeling in my mouth. I met all my closest friends individually and gave them a small gift of a collage of our pictures with a handwritten letter to each of them. It got pretty emotional, to say the least. And on Sat night, my last night in Perth, I had my closest friends over for a final get together and it was really nice to see everyone for one last time, at least till we all meet again. I got so many gifts! A pair of pants and a white top from Rushika, a necklace and lip gloss from Ryan, old school hip hop cds and a mug from Mark, a thick belt from Rushika, Ryan and Mark (I don't know why they bought me double gifts but thanks guys!), a pink pencil case, flower clips and lip gloss from Hannah (she's so sweet. I've only met her once and she actually gave me a gift. Sweetheart.) and a cute dress/ short-dress from Foiza and Anri, which I love. It was nice, talking, laughing, eating, reminiscing about the good times and when everyone finally said goodbye, I was crying so hard I could barely talk. It's sad, having to leave friends behind. And these are not just friends, but like good and firm friends that I made. But like what I told each and everyone of them, it's not goodbye but see you later alligator! :)

Last breakfast, gossip and cam whore session with the girls. This was on a Friday morning. We woke up early, took a walk by the Swan River, and had breakfast at Matilda bay Tea Room and Cafe, and then we took pictures together. Girls, I'll miss you heaps!












The farewell party at my place. My girlfriends.

Nice.





Foiza's mom and sister. They are the sweetest.

My talk-rubbish and tell pervy jokes friends, Rushika and Ryan.


This the short-dress Anri and Foiza bought me! I love it! It's so funny how they bought it for me. We were in the city and they were following me closely into every shop I entered and everything that I touched, hoping to get something for me the minute I showed any interest. I didn't realise this of course and I just thought it was weird they kept asking me to try this on and that on. And I told them, there's nothing good today..hahaha..they wanted to die. Until I went into Sportsgirl and saw this cute thing and tried it on but was reconsidering getting it cos it was costly, $90. Then at my farewell, they took it out and gave it to me!!! I LOVE U GIRLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's so comfy, cute but feminine. Im going to wear it to death here.


Ryan, my baby. He was sick as hell but still came to say goodbye to me. :)

This was at the airport.











So Im back, have not unpacked, am in major denial and sweltering in the humidity here. But it was nice to see my mom, sisters, bro in law, niece and nephew. My elder sister was jumping up and down when my plane touched down and my niece and nephew were chanting my name while I was waiting for my luggage.Mortifying, :).
I'm going to unpack now, meeting up all my friends here and catching up.
