It has been my unswerving will that I am not going back this upcoming summer, and I have already told myself a couple of times that “I am staying” somehow.
Why I am staying, that determinedly? I asked myself. It is because my parents will fly all the way to Singapore to visit me this July.
But why do they two bother to fly here this summer? This is because I am not flying back!!!
I only realized this on 24th this month, such an obvious reason that has been ignored by me for so long a period of time. And that was exactly the moment when I felt obliged to think twice on this.It lived up to its name as we call in Chinese “Jiu Jie”. I felt really confused about such a cause-and-effect issue, or more precisely, an egg-and-chicken dilemma. I took the fact that my parents will come here to visit me for granted and thoroughly ruled out the possibility of my going back. I was so stubborn a girl insisting on my staying here regardless of my friends’ constantly anxious call.
I thought that I was determined enough and there was not even the least possibility that I was persuaded. But I was wrong.
I can tell them all in a firm voice that I am living an agreeable life here in Singapore, but I can not deny my strong willingness to meet my friends once again in my hometown, since I do miss them so much. I could not wait to see them giving a big hug to them and I could not help crying every time when the old times once more go through my mind. I try not to bother myself about the confusing dilemma any more, and the only thing I need to consider is that, the only difference between my going back and my parents’ coming here is whether I am able to meet my friends.
As a result, the fact is, in the afternoon of 24th I even have not started thinking about it, 24 hours later however, the round-trip airline tickets were right in my hands. What a quick and harsh decision I have made!
I know that one week certainly will not suffice, but at least it is such an indication that I still care you all miss you all and spare no efforts to fly back to see you all.
I MISS YOU. ^_^

Don't worry, Veron.
ReplyDeleteYour family and friends will love and appreciate you more for taking so much trouble and expense to see them. I am sure you will enjoy and treasure the coming 7 days with them. more for taking the effort to coreally treasure the 7 days me home and see them.
I am sure you will
I am quite happy that you have read my "one for all, all for one". I will explain the meaning for you. Your understanding of "one for all" is quite correct. "All for one" means that if one has something in trouble, all of us will help him\her. heehee. I wrote just to share my feeling of our "family". I wish you can wait for my last post "one for all, all for one(part three)".O(∩_∩)O~
ReplyDeleteI see this blog quite by chance. The reason why I stay to read it is because of the novelty of the writer's name--wildchild-veronica... Then I found it is you, ZQ, hah-hah. Quite a magical feeling. I don't want to say too much, ... glad to hear you say that you are living an agreeable life here in Singapore.
ReplyDeleteA plan is meant to be carried out once it is made.
ReplyDeleteSo just go ahead, my support will always be with you :-)
Dear Veron:
ReplyDeleteAs you have said in your Xiaonei,nobody doesn't want to go back home, and the only difference is somebody have bought the tickets while some haven't.It is true,indeed.Somehow,I feel very homesick now,much more than the days when I just arrived at Singapore.It is maybe because many people about me are going back.But I decide not to fly back for I thought this can only make things worse.I dare not think that I may just stay home for seven days and then have to be back in a hurry.
Anyway, I sincerely hope you will have a nice vacation.
