omg...

Got the travel pillow, universal adaptor, most of the toiletries, work pants during the last few days... While shopping with XY at Watsons and watching her dump boxes of plasters, medication, lozenges, toiletries and other stuff into her basket and considering whether to buy the suitcase with the dubious zipper, everything just started to seem more REAL.

QY and gang are flying on Tuesday while XY and I are leaving on Friday, less than a week away. >_<

Being away from Singapore for 3 months is definitely not a walk in the park for me. I have never done it before and I don't know if I will like it. I will miss H, my mother, my beautiful nieces Elvia and Elina, my friends, and heck, even the three rascals at home but I do know I need the break, the change in scenery. I need inspiration on how to lead my post-university life. I need to find myself. I need to grow up.

Having said that, I hope everyone will take care of themselves when I am away and keep me updated with the latest gossip! Even if I yearn for the break, I do look forward to coming home 3 months later to people who love me and embrace this new phase of my life. :)

Things are good.

I woke up this morning feeling super- no more academic exams (ever!!!) to think about, looking forward to my first real interview tomorrow and the upcoming trip. =)

The temperature in Richmond now is about 15.5 degrees celsius. It is the perfect weather for walking, chilling al fresco, working, etc. Can't wait for XY to settle her studying so we can go do some heavy-duty shopping for all the necessities. :)

First paper over...

For the third time in my life, I pierced my ears (over the same spot)... That's how bad I am at maintaining my ear holes. Hopefully this time it will last forever!!!

It is only another 17 days before XY and I head to Virginia. I am starting to feel the butterflies - excited and nervous about this whole experience that is to come and excruciating because I have to leave my loved ones behind (you know who you are).

Come what may, we are determined to make this 3-month trip a mighty good one!!! Will be great if everyone can keep in touch (and bitch) through our blogs and emails. :)

I will be seeing you in 15 hours. We have exactly a month before parting again. I never counted the minutes and seconds until now...
