The Day has Come

The day has come... 2nd July 2006

I woke up in the morning feeling nothing special but in fact, in a few hours time, I will be on the plane to New Zealand. My parents and some of my relatives went to send me off. Clara came too... Everything feels alrite until... I walked into the Duty-Free area in the airport. I began to realise that I will be all alone in a foreign country. I turned back to look at my parents, I began to feel scared...

Throughout the whole flight, I was with Elvin, another exchange student from NUS... 10 hrs later, we were in Auckland, awaiting to catch a domestic flight to Wellington but... weather turns foggy... the airport was closed and our flight was cancelled. Elvin managed to get us the next flight to Wellington at 4.30pm but it was further delayed. By the time I got to my hostel, it was nearly 7plus.

The service was quite bad, I got into my apartment and found out there's no electricty. I quickly went down and got it fixed but when I return to my room... the lonely feeling came back... I've never been through situations like this before and I guess this will be the one and only time in my life...

I miss my parents...




me and my daddy...


me and my mummy...


me, my parents and my relatives


me and Clara
