I came back to Singapore for a conference, and took a chance to visit friends, family and chill out in Bintan. Pictures of Bintan to follow soon. I missed home more than i expected, even though its just been 3 months.
In the meantime, has anyone ever got the feeling of meeting up with "close" friends and feeling like you have nothing in common with them anymore? It's been exactly one year since i quit my first job to go travelling. Throughout last year, I met up with some of my Singaporean friends on and off, and now that i'm working in China, i hardly see them anymore. And when i do, i find that these friends that i've known for years, have all moved on to different things in life, different priorities, lifestyles and viewpoints. Suddenly, when i met up with them again this time, I had absolutely nothing terribly vital to share or talk about (that they'd care to know). Of course their friendship is important to me but I suppose they've been moving in different directions for a long time (or was it just me) anyway and it has just became more painfully apparent to me this time.
Sad but true.
