Hi K!

Hi.

Just in case you're stalking me. Here's a post dedicated to you!

But, before that let me recap on my life happenings these past months...

So yep, I am back in Singapore already people. Exchange, is now but a thing in the past and life still goes on... and on and on and on. Couldn't have asked for a better experience these 5 months over at RPI with the amazing peeps from NTU. All of these life changing experiences that I'll never be able to understand in this little bottom of the well called Singapore.

Yeah, perhaps to start off, I shall thank these bunch of people for all the good they brought along with them to USA.

Yes, girl-who-forever-needs-a-bucket. So glad to have met you in Insinyur and what do you know? Just a random chat of exchange on the MRT train when we broke camp, and look where we are now. We planned, we went and we are back already. Can't believe how a year just went by like that. I can't thank you enough for this as if we did not have the chat I would probably not have someone who would encourage me to go for exchange due to my hall commitments. =D

The first person from the RPI group that I've talked to. Paisay though at first was only talking to you to settle accom stuff and I think might have bothered you too much. Great to have known you though! Sucha cool girl!

Seriously bro, you need to hold back your strengths abit. Don't so spoil market for us guys. But as always, a wise person giving me advice when I needed them and a never-say-no-to-a-drink attitude. I really appreciate all the help you have given me all these 5 months and all the beer that went into this growing belly of mine. Now that we are back I doubt we will drink like that again and I will really miss that alot, especially the talks that makes our dining table bleed and walls cry.

Another helpful person. HAHA. Yes we might have eyed on the same girl in Insinyur but still, bros before holes man. It's weird that I find we can talk more in a group setting than I can talk to you one on one, think I've told you that before. Yeah la, honestly speaking I think we lack something that can make us closer to brotherhood... Maybe it's just me?

- Joan -
WHAT HAPPENED? I think we used to be very much closer, like before spring break? All the crazy meetups at Highland with random dinner and icecreams, dirty talks that we laughed like s**t. Okay la not gonna complain but still I wanna thank this crazy girl for that super contagious laughter. Really, when I think of Joan I straightaway think of that girl laughing and it's super funny!

Dude you need to put money at a lower priority. I can't tell you how much you've missed out on because you wanted to save. Well, I wouldn't say money isn't important, but if that money spent can bring you happiness and laughter, it is money well spent. Then again, I'm not you I don't know if you find happiness in travelling and being around friends. NOT JUDGING. =X

- Shirley -
Reiterate. I wished you would have spoken up more. Sometimes life is just about you being out there and let everyone see your ugly side, letting loose and be crazy. There's just a Shirley we all haven't seen, a Shirley that is wild and loud and doing weird stuff! Hope we might have a chance to see that!

From nerdy to funky. I can't take your jokes seriously as you tend to have a straight face when you joke but at the same time I can't take your serious seriously as well cause I know you're a joker. HAHA. Okay I don't know what I'm saying but you know right? Yes, also another person I wished I could get to know more of. I'm glad you are those who puts the RPI peeps at a high priority though, like you will turn up for gatherings now. Keep it up!

- Jon -
Think we started knowing each other abit too late in the exchange. Probably due to the misunderstandings in the earlier part of the semester. Yep, but dude you can sing awesome. Stay awesome!

And here's one dedicated to my lovely,

~ Karina ~

 Just take a step back and look where we are now. The first thing you've said to me was that you don't want the GPS. From strangers to friends and now lovers. I really cannot thank you enough for all these wonderful memories.

Yolostone, a trip that I don't think I will ever forget in my life. So glad that I have you as a travel companion in this journey, doing all the crazy things we did. I love how you were so caring towards me in the entire trip even though I confessed and made things a little awkward. I love how you could just disregard the fact that I've misplaced 300 USD and made do with whatever we have left because that's exactly what I will do for you if the roles were reversed, maybe I've never told you this before but I literally melted when you didn't even show unhappiness when I lost that sum.

So many special moments we had together at Yolostone. From the time we sat at UAlbany where you dropped me the bomb, it was already pretty romantic. You know, just the two of us sitting on the bench talking with all that luggages around us. You lying on my shoulder on the bus journey, to my first time embracing you in the plane.

Stargaze, overlooks, horseriding, sunsets. Told you last night that I really think that the Drive-In was exceptionally memorable to me, I am not kidding. I could remember every detail of it. Just a simple fastfood meal but I can tell you it was the best fastfood meal that I have ever eaten. Us just sitting in the back of the car with all the chairs laid down and in the middle of nowhere (actually Idaho Falls). It just felt so special to me.

As I've mentioned I am a total dummy when it comes to relationships and to me, everything is new and exciting. I only can ask for your guidance and graciousness in whatever I may be doing incorrectly as a boyfriend.

Yes I know we are only on the start of this long journey (going on 3 weeks!) and we have got a long way to go. I cannot promise you that this journey will be smooth sailing and that the faith and trust we have is going to be tested time and again. But let us remind ourselves of how we got here and the crazy amount of obstacles that we went through just to go on an amazing trip like Yolostone, and may it be enough to tide us through the difficult times.

And let us grow in each others' presence.

:)

Love.
