One year ago...
One year ago... exactly 1 yr ago... I was in Changi Airport, waiting to take my first long distance flight to Copenhagen Denmark at this time 11pm. Seems like everything is still so fresh and vivid in my mind.
Feelings of anxiety, excitement, eagerness, last minute confusions were all racing through my heart. Tears, photos, quarrels with my forever caring mom, hugs, handshakes, well-wishes... Really hope I can relive everything again!
A 1 semester exchange to Denmark-- A trip that I had envisioned in my mind even before I entered NUS. A trip that was once fraught with many difficulties.
But I had been there and done that. And I still want to do it again.
Even after a year, my eyes still glisten with delight whenever I recall my adventures and experience to my friends, or help prepare my juniors who are going for exchange. It is really one of the best experiences u can get while in NUS.
Maybe some pple will think why I am always dwelling in my exchange times, even after a year had passed. Well, I guess its the best thing that happened to me during these 4 years in university.
I guess especially our generation is a very mobile lot. More and more people going overseas to do all sorts of things, even during their jobs. Well it is really true that the grass is always greener on the other side.
Once we've tasted a little of the sweeter greener grass overseas, we are always lusting for more; once we have seen a bit of the bigger world, we want to see all of it.
Since I can't turn back the clock, I really yearn for a job that can take me to all corners of the world. Be it business trips/an income that can satisfy my lust to see the world. My goal in life: I will try to save $$ (read: try) and travel the world and visit my friends again.
Add colours to your life!!
