i'm very much a Singaporean. but living in New Zealand has changed me forever.

shopping and eating and walkin around and hanging out comes so naturally to me... it's what i do best. friends and family are the essence of familiarity. but i'm always aware of the amount of water in the air i breathe, always annoyed at the impatience and rude behaviour of some, always struck by the amount of people on the streets at one time, always willing everyone else to take a freakin chill pill... and the list goes on.

i've come to expect to feel torn, to feel the tension between two amazing but incredibly different cultures, each time i come back to Singapore. i'm thankful though, as time has gone by, that my worlds have collided more and more: josh and goose and mike have gone to the Pore, while ming and cyn and pot have come over to Aucks in my earlier days... so keen for more of these exchanges to happen!
