It's been about a week since i returned to Perth. and what a week it has been!

On saturday, 24th, was supposed to be flying back to Perth with Carmen. but it turns out that she was really sick, down with food poisoning and all that, thus she was unable to come.. was a little sad and lost. and when i had to say goodbye to my family at the airport, i couldn't help but cried a little as i hugged them goodbye. as my mum says, it's seperation anxiety.. which i believed so too. all was good when i reached Perth and saw Emma and Jocelyn again. It's so nice to be able to see them again after so long (though i did meet up with jocelyn a few times back in Singapore la..) but yes, to see familiar faces amongst the sea of unfamiliar ones just helps to cure that homesickness in me.

Was pretty tired by the time we got back to college. Em and Jocelyn helped me made the bed and then soon enough, i was asleep.. on sunday late afternoon, i got a text from Carmen saying that she bought another ticket and she's coming to Perth on Monday afternoon! It's just crazy, but i'm glad that she managed to come in the end.

So the whole week, we went to a few places with some of my friends, bought loads of stuff. Basically, just showing and letting her experience the kind of life that i live here. Cos as i always said, what i can describe about the kind of life that i live here.. the friends that i have, the college life, uni, etc.. words are just limited, you have to experience it yourself. So i guess Carmen could now understand how i feel about Perth, the amazing friends that i have here and the life that i live here.

Carmen went back to Singapore on saturday night. was a little lost for a moment, but at the same time, i was okay too. As Jocelyn said, "a friend from your comfort zone back in Singapore comes to visit you in Perth, now that she has left, there is the sense of 'cant bear for her to leave' but at the same time, you have friends here in Perth in your own comfort zone too.. " which is pretty true actually. As i mentioned last time, Perth is no longer a place that is foreign to me anymore. I have great friends here, who makes me feel like Perth is another home, away from my home back in Singapore.

Sunday night, we went to watch Inception. Such an awesome movie! For a moment, the question popped into my mind. Dreams vs Reality. Which one is real? In the sense that, the dreams that we all have.. our ambitions for our future, etc.. it can be real, can't it? If we know what we want, we work hard for it, towards it. So then, our dreams, can one day be our reality too, right?

And that brings to my mind about my near future and the present... I'm here now, in Perth, UWA, studying a Bachelor of Commerce degree. I know why i am studying business for, i know why i do the majors that i am doing now. I hope i don't lose sight of my initial reason of studying business. And whether dream becomes reality in the end, it depends on how hard i'm going to work for it i guess, and whether it is in God's plan for me.
