To call my own...

The past 2 years have made me seen and experienced a lot more... most of them were difficult times... but then I can't complain... because I now know what it means that what can't kill you can only make u stronger... I think so... that a lot of what I have gone through in these 2 years have made me a stronger and I think a better person... I think I've come to appreciate much more what my parents have done for me in the last 20 years and know that bringing us up is not an easy job...

I know I complained or was upset about alot that has happened in this 2 years... but I am really grateful for them... because I much prefer the person that I am right now than the self-centered and spoilt child that I was... No doubt, still with many flaws but I felt I have grown up more in these 2 years than in the other 20 years of my life...

I know that I have much more than many other people in the world... U never get to see the poor people in Singapore.. here in SF, they are everywhere... I have a home over my head, a family that looks out for me and a job that supports my own expenses... I can even help out paying some of the bills at home... I am 22 and not a child anymore... don't think my parents should pay for everything that I spend... For my trip, I feel that there is a ownership of this trip that I did this all by myself... the food, the things I buy, the tickets, the accomodation... this whole experience was made possible by my own effort...

I look forward to doing this again in September this year...
