\\*where i am today.*//

I'm definitely living in Singapore for many more years, who knows maybe the rest of my life.
I have a new house at Lagoon View! My room is ready for me to live in! It's orange! I love it! except it's bare with only a bed and a wardrobe, but I can move in this Thursday!

Sure, I can stand it living in Singapore for the rest of my life actually. It's much better than life back in Jakarta. It's more comfortable, I have all my friends here already, what else do I want? I lived here more than I did in Jakarta or the US. Coming to 8 yrs. N I lived in Jakarta for onli, 5 years? Big difference.

When I celebrated National Day last Tuesday at school, I realised that I feel I belong to Singapore. When I joined the Guides that day, I was impressed by their marching. Whoa. Could beat our SYF marching 2 yrs ago. I felt like marching again, for NDP or any event. Lots of training under the sun but it's all worth it when u go out to the field. The last time I marched for anything like that was 2 yrs ago in the NDP ceremony in our sch. Long time ago.

Then when we led, well actually juz sang national day songs in front of everyone else, most of us were enjoying ourselves. I enjoyed singing those songs, n when I think at home, that's the problem. I still think back of Indonesia, but then Singapore comes to mind.
"This is home, truly, as my senses tell me..."
I especially love that song 'Home'. I truly am more connected to Singapore. My friends, most of my life, where I'm growing up, is all here. Even though I'm still Indonesian (no plans at all to become S'porean), still thinking of those times back in Jakarta, at the end of the day my life is where I am today.

"My home, wherever I may be....

I believe, you will always be a part of me"
