Home

No matter how long I had been away or where I had returned from, the feeling I get whenever the plane lands on Singapore tarmac is always the same - 'this is my homeland and I am glad to be home'.  It is one of familiarity and fondness.  As I walked out of the aircraft, I felt a wave of heat and heard people speaking in Singlish and Hokkien.  I knew my family were waiting for us outside.  I said to the girls 'I'm so glad to be home'.  Later, Louisa said the same thing to my sister, Joanne.  My dad cooked so many dishes.  My parents-in-laws came for dinner together with my sis-in-law and her fiance.  That was a nice get-together.  I'm also looking forward to using the massage chair and playing wii amongst many things.  There's also many people to catch up with.  I know the month will fly by so I'll have to make good use of the time.
