i know i haven't changed, but i know i ain't the same.

perfect to describe me at this point in time no? haha. first year is over and gone. i'm feeling abit wistful now. it felt like a dream. sometimes a wonderful dream. sometimes a nightmare. there are some parts of it i wish i will never have to go through again. and yet some of e best times too.

but i'm glad i'm home. i need a break from the insanity that sometimes comes along with lse. i can't deal with the fake smiles, insincere words and nasty words said behind ppl's backs anymore. back here, i feel safe, protected and loved. and sometimes that's all i need.

but i would never say that i was unhappy. well there were unhappy moments, but it was probably the most exciting year in my life. i didn't stay in a place for more than 2 months consecutively. my wanderlust has been slightly sated. and i've seen more beauty in the world than ever before. its a wonderful feeling, standing along the arno river watching the sunset, on the eiffel tower watching the city lights, in an athens street looking up at the acropolis, sitting on the cruise in marseille watching the sea spread out infinitely.

met mel today (((: i've missed that girl so much. one year is way too long -.- and then i've got taiwan next week. mehehehe. i'm loving this international jet-setter lifestyle (;
