I have to admit I haven't found friends here in Singapore that I sincerely care for and who care for me, the way it is with my family and friends back home. But I guess six months is a short time to build such friendships or relations and I just need to give it time. But sometimes I get envious of friends who have met really good friends in their new environment, given the same amount of time. I guess it's just different for everyone.
Anyways for now I just make do with writing in my blogs, writing emails, phone calls to my family, or even chatting with good friends or my siblings. It isn't the same as before of course but technology has made it much easier for me. If I wouldn't be able to reach my loved ones I would burst for not sharing my thoughts and my experiences.
There are some stuff I miss, like changing the radio stations in our van. I miss singing in the car. I can't do that anymore in the bus or train unless I don't care of what people would think. I can only sing in the toilet if I'm alone in the apartment. I don't talk as much. I just make up for it in writing. (which of course would be better than me starting to talk to myself, haha).
And that's just to name a few. But I know I'm building new habits that I will miss when I get back home. I truly can't have it all. There are just some things, places and persons that you have to let go off temporarily or permanently in your life.
Well so much for the drama. Since my past entries have been ala Joe D' Mango with the songs and such, I'll dedicate a song for my family and friends back home :)
With a Little Help from my Friends
What would you think if I sang out of tune
Would you stand up and walk out on me
Lend me your ears and I'll sing you a song
And I'll try not to sing out of key
Oh, I'll get by with a little help from my friends
Oh, I'll get high with a little help from my friends
Oh, I'll get by with a little help from my friends, my friends
What do you do when our love is away
Does it worry you to be alone
And how does it feel by the end of the day
Are you sad because you're on your own
Oh, I'll get by with a little help from my friends
Oh, I'll get high with a little help from my friends
Oh I'll get by with a little help from my friends
Do you need any body
I need somebody to love
Could it be anybody
I need somebody to love, to love, to love
Would you believe in this love at first sight
Yes I'm certain that it happens al the time
What do you see when you turn out the light
I can't tell you but I know that it's mine
Oh, I'll get by with a little help from my friends
Oh, I'll get high with a little help from my friends
Oh I'll get by with a little help from my friends
Do you need any body
I need somebody to love
Could it be anybody
I need somebody to love
Oh, I'll get by with a little help from my friends
Oh, I'll get high with a little help from my friends
Oh, I'll get high with a little help from my friends
Oh, I'll get by with a little help from my friends
With a little help from my friends, my friends, my friends
