Today’s the day where I fly back to Singapore.

The morning started off crazy because Joanne woke up late resulting in me having less time to do the things I needed to do.

After bathing, YJ and I sent Joanne off in the cab cuz she went to meet Victor first. YJ and I then went over to the printer shop to get our reports printed.

The whole thing took about an hour so we went back up first and asked them to give us a call when they are done.

In the mean time, we went upstairs so I could finish packing my last minute stuff and also change and put make-up.

After that, our landlord came over with his parents to look at the house. BUT, we didn’t take back our deposit. Instead, he asked for our SG account number and contact and he said he’ll transfer the money over. Yeah right, who knows man.

He even said he’ll pay us for the DVD player and what not we bought for the house but we shall see.

After they left, it was also time to collect our printed stuff and bind it. When we were at the printer shop, Jia Wei arrived with his luggage ready to move in to our apartment. But we were all downstairs so he waited for us in the rain.

After we were done, it was about time for CF and I to leave. I rushed up to zip my luggage and gather all my stuff. Thank goodness Jia Wei helped me with my luggage otherwise I think I’d die.

YH was also downstairs with his luggage prepared to move into our apartment so he helped with the luggages as well.

CF and I called the “mian bao che” and it cost RMB150 to the airport but it was better than a cab cuz of all our stuff.

Good thing we reached early cuz there was already a queue at the check-in counter at like 1pm.

And by 1.30pm, we could check-in our luggage. Thank god my luggage weighed 32KG so I didn’t have to pay excess baggage.

It was a hectic day until the moment I stepped into the plane to depart. The flight was delayed for half an hour.

I was literally un-contactable cuz my china line had no more value and my local sim card couldn’t be read by my phone so I had no clue what to expect when I reached Changi.

The flight was so much better than the one we took to go to Shanghai. I could even put crystals on my nails (:

It was like 27degs when we touched down. HOT.

Joanne and I took our own sweet time to go to the toilet to change. We also used the free payphone to call and I had like a list of alcohols to buy for JW.

In the end, when we reached the conveyer belt to claim our luggage, it was already taken down and stacked nicely on the floor. I also saw Ah Ma, Aunty Irene, Morgan, Mummy and Daddy! So exciting!

I was like struggling with my luggage can omg how embarrassing!

Came out, hugged everyone (: it felt real good to be back in Singapore, but I miss Shanghai!

I also saw JW and his Godma came as well! How nice of them.

In the end, all my family members went home while I went out for supper with JW and his Godma.

We ate at this hawker centre at Bedok. 6 months w/o hawker centre food! Yummy sambal stingray, ba chor mee and sugarcane juice! :D

In the end, they sent me home and helped me lug my luggage up to my home. HOME (:

Suddeny, my home feels so big as compared to what I’ve been living in for the past 6 months.

I can’t believe it’s over just like that. There a part of me that wished I didn’t come back but seeing my family after so long made me super happy.
