Hey guys! I will be returning home on December 18. It would probably be a morning flight, which means I will probably have to wake up at 4am to get to the airport. Considering my plane lifts off at 7am, I will reach Singapore at around 11-12pm.

I finished packing 4 boxes of personal belongings which I would ship back home on Monday, and them reaching Singapore 20 days later. It's an incredibly exhilarating moment, as you take piece and piece of what stuck with you throughout the entire year here back home. You have no idea how long I waited to do this.

Thinking of the MacDonald hotcakes I can easily have every morning, my favorite laksa two blocks away, my calming and soothing runs all the way into NTU, my fast wireless home network... And the list can go on and on.

Anyway, it has been also an incredible pain for me as I dread the day I would no longer see and touch someone I fell in love with in Taiwan. Unfortunately, in life, shit happens and you got to learn how to deal with it. I'm not sure what will happen as months pass by with my new life in Singapore. And I'm even more unsure of the promise I made to her: that I would come back after 5 years, a different man.

In truth, I blame myself for causing her such pain. This is among the most foolish and inconsiderate thing I have done in my entire life.
