It has been more than a week since we returned to Singapore. I remembered counting down the number of nights I will get to sleep on my comfortable Four Stars bed when I was back in Singapore last Oct. And as of tonight, it's five. A sad, miserable five.
This trip has been a different experience to the last as it's 1) longer 2) CNY and 3) not being away for a long time (only 4 months since we last returned). Other than seeing relatives and collecting ang pows, time was spent catching up with childhood friends (i.e more than 10 years which implies I am either old or we have known one another for a long time.
Interestingly, the topic has now shifted to buying/renovating a flat as compared to which football player is better, location and housing loan amount as compared to the latest movie. I have a group of close mates from VS/VJC (about 12-13) and half are already married with 2-3 more getting married in the next one year. Guess time is calling on us and I can't help but feel my singlehood is entering the sunset industry stage.
The next few days look busy as I look forward to catching up with former KPMG colleagues (can't wait to catch up with Shoops/Peter/PP/Serene/Winston/Amy etc). I know the 5 nights are going to go by like a breeze. I am already planning our next trip back in the second half of 2007. Looks like Andy's marriage in early October provides a good excuse!
