hello! finally got round to posting a message... i'm feeling really restless today... i can't figure out why and the closest i can get to explain it is the coffee jelly that was in my milk tea... hmmm...

anyway, been back in singapore for a week now and been vusy resting at home.. haha.. slowly going out more... feels nice to just stay at home and do nothing much for the whole day... home seems so much comfortable after 7 weeks in nepal... it was a good experience seeing how people live in other parts of the world.. it was nice in a simple quiet kind of way there... i would go back one day... but at the same time you also realise how fortunate we are to have what we have... i mean my host father earns about s$70 a month over there... i guess the cost of living is not too high there but they really are living on a day to day basis... most people don't really have savings to speak of... makes me think twice before spending money... nowadays i look at clothes and stuff and i'm automatically like... "that's x times of what my host father earns a month"... haha... it'll be interesting to see how long this lasts... the nepal trip was great... i would definitely recommend it to anyone who is considering doing such a trip... as an added bonus, the shopping's good in the tourist areas too! haha...

oh and in response to weiling's disbelief to me teaching... yes.. i was teaching in a school... it was kind of crazy because i was this person who has never taught my whole life yet i was given the chance to teach kids from nursery to year 5s (12-14 year olds) subjects from english to maths to social studies to science... hmm.. guess that wouldn't be happening in singapore anytime soon.. oh, i taught the older class some chinese too... haha.. that was quite fun.. i guess the younger children were harder to handle.. kind of like trying to control a group of little monkeys... and the best part was i couldn't speak much nepali and they didn't speak much english either... haha.. quite fun and i do miss some of the kids.. some of them were really very adorable! =)

ok... wonder if anyone actually bothered to read to the end of this message.. haha... ta!
