I miss going home to find mum busy in the kitchen trying to whip up a delectable meal for us. I miss her constant nagging which is also a way of showing how much she care for us. She always like to chat with me some time be it in the day or at night about the daily occurences in her life. Now that I'm in the States, I feel somewhat emotional but happy too whenever she called. I know she misses me. I misses her too.. very much.
I miss my cute little baby niece too. Every morning when she wanders into my room with small wobbly steps and looks me in the eyes, waiting for me to play with her. I miss holding her tiny hands in mine and scooping her up into my arms. I miss chasing her around the house, trying to prevent her from getting into "accidents". I wonder how tall she'll be by the time I come back on home leave.
Basically, all I can say is that I miss all my family and friends back home in Singapore. Hope we can get to see each other real soon...

Life in the Land of Stars & Stripes
It has been 2 weeks since the day I first set foot in the United States. I could still vividly remember the torturous 25hrs flight with a rushed transit at the SFO airport. I was so glad that me and my luggages arrived at the United States without any glitch. We settled at the hotel Residence Inn by Marriott, a place I've been calling home for the past 2 weeks.
Our 1st 2 weeks were spent with a hectic search for apartments for rental and shopping for things to buy for our new apartments. We have been driving around a lot, been to Washington DC for the 4th July Independence Day celebration and also to the outlets shopping at Virginia. We have also shopped at Walmart, Giant and even the Korean/Asian Mart Lotte at Germantown for groceries to make our own dinner. Our DIY dinner always didn't turn out too well but I'm sure we'll improve with time..LOL.
We've started our 1st two days of orientation at our new place of work. The people there were rather nice and friendly. But it seems like we've got a lot to learn as we go along. Let hope we could all intergrate into our new work environment asap. :)
Well.. I'm still feeling rather sad at times when I start missing home, my family n friends back in Singapore. Looking forward to CNY next year so that I can go back to Singapore to visit them. :)
