i suddenly realised that.
..
on the day of departure,
away from this small town,
back home..
i will miss this place.
alot.
the routes that we jog every weekend.
the bus routes that lead us to school.
the people that we meet in school everyday.
the supermarkets that we visit often.
maybe even the boomings from the pubs below us.
thou torturing.
away from the comfort that we got at home.
away from the care we get from people ard us.
away from the wonderful foods that we had at home.
we had a nice time here.
at least i did.
thou i really feel like gg home.
budd.
i dunn feel like leaving here too.
=x

its that kinda contradicting feeling that ms leong has warned us abt.
7 weeks leh.

w/o any regrets.

the guys are super gentlemen here.
everyone is so helpful etc etc.
BUDD...the service we received in our apartment is HORRENDOUS!
horrible~!
they are super super slack i must say.
andd they think all customers are super super patient.
imagine calling down twice to the receptionist to ask for refill for dishwashing liquid.
andd they happily let us waited till next afternoon before the housekeeper tops it up for us.
@$%!^%^
as if not enough.
the electricity here runs via a main meter.
once the meter runs low,
you'll have to call the receptionist to top it up for u too.
called once.
coming up!
called twice.
in a minutes time.
called thrice in a super uptight tone!
coming right away..
BLACK OUT.
