After enduring the agony of being "watchless" for the past 2 weeks for carelessly leaving my watch behind in Singapore, I finally managed to get myself a new watch -- a Timex Expedition watch with Indiglo night light. :D

Home Leave Trip -- CNY 2011
I was truely excited way before I started my journey back to Singapore for CNY. The thought of going back to sunny old Singapore and meeting all my family and friends back in Singapore was a boost for me, even if it means the torturous 25-hour flight back.
However, I couldn't help feeling a tiny weeny bit of disappointment when what greeted me when I finally touched down in Singapore was not the sunny blue skies but a cold and wet downpour. Well, nothing beats seeing mum and dad again as well as my dear family members and relatives. So I was still kinda high even after the long and tiring flight and started chatting excitedly with them.
It feels good to be back in Singapore, but my body doesn't seem to be taking it too well. First up was the feeling of jet-lag. After which I feel kinda tired and not as perked up as I expected myself to be. I had planned to do tons of things when I'm back in Singapore, but I seem to feel lazy just going out to do my "shopping" and I don't seem to be eating as much as I thought I could. Next up, I started having some funny itchy rashes on my face. I also wasn't getting so accustomed to the humidity in Singapore versus the dryness in the States, which was weird because I've been living in Singapore for 25 years. I should be used to the humidity already... hmmm. I guess my physical self just isn't taking the climatic change too well. I started having the feeling of bloatness for the past two days and I wonder whether it's the food I've been eating or that I'm just feeling a bit unwell lately.
Now that it's nearing the end of my home leave trip and I'll be flying back to USA, I can't help feeling sad about leaving Singapore again. USA is a nice place, but the feeling of belonging to your homeland just feels different. But I'm quite sure I'll miss USA as well when I finish my training program and come back to Singapore in December. Well... till then.
Anyway, I would like to wish all my family and friends a happy 2011! Hope 2011 will be a good year for everyone including myself! :)
