Leaving Perth to go back to Singapore.. it feels very much like im leaving my home, for home. Yes, Perth is very much a place i call home now too. Not so much the place that makes it feel like home, but it's because of the people, my friends, or rather i should say, my family here in Perth that makes Perth feels just like home.
I remember, when i first came here, whenever people ask me "where are you going now?" i will never say "i'm going home." i would usually say "oh, i'm going back to my apartment." or even when i first came to college at the beginning of this year, i would say "oh, i'm going back to college." but then, after getting to know my amazing group of friends, i've started to say "i'm going home now."
there so much of a mixed feeling inside, not that i would expect most people to understand. i guess only a few would be able to understand what i mean by mixed feelings. Going back to Singapore, in a way, is something that i do look forward to abit, but as much as i am looking forward to seeing my family and friends in Singapore again, i really do miss my family in Perth - my close friends.
It just feels so weird... from being able to see the 3 of them everyday - Emma, Jocelyn and Kim, having our meals together, going out to have fun, having late night chats, studying together, our cluedo sessions, our movie nights in college, etc etc.. there's just so much stuff that we do together throughout this semester.. and then to the sudden change of not being able to see them everyday, not being able to just go up one flight of stairs to find Jocelyn or Kim or to go across the building to find Emma, or being able to just call/msg them whenever... or like whenever one of us is in need, we can't just go to their room within 3 mins to find them.. and there's just so much more..
I know Emma, Jocelyn and Kim will be able to understand what i am talking about.. there's just so much about Perth that i miss.. No doubt, definitely there are things and people in Singapore that i miss too.
it's just a kind of mixed feelings.. but well, 1.5 mths and then im back to Perth again. I shall enjoy my time back home.. and make the best out of it.. Time for meet-ups and catch-ups with everyone.
