Goodbye

This goodbye is long overdue.... I've been back in Singapore for a couple of months already, and have said my lasting goodbyes to staying in Sydney.

While the year lasted, life was good. I had scholarship money, parental support and best of all, obligations to no one. I only had to study, pay the rent on time and make sure I survive Sydney. But all that has come to an end.

I think now that I look back, perhaps I didn't grab the opportunities I had in Sydney as hard as I should have. I regret not taking the notion of studying honours more seriously, I regret not travelling more often, and I regret my 'lavish' lifestyle. But travelling and saving money is not exactly mutually exclusive non? If you travel, its nearly impossible to save.

But enough of regrets... I have had good times. I learnt more about myself, what I stand for, the culture in Australia, and I picked up better communication skills for all that. Some people say I've changed since being in Australia, but perhaps it's only a temporary change influenced by what I've seen, heard and experienced in another country across the ocean. Perhaps being back in Singapore will cause me, over time, to revert back to the Weiie of the old.

Perhaps, perhaps not. When I next meet my good friends, I should ask them if they think I've changed at all for my time in Australia. It will be an interesting session.
