Tying up the loose ends

And so, it's less than 1 day. Suddenly, all the excitement and desire to travel seemed to slowly disappear as the number of hours i've left in Singapore diminishes. I really hate to say goodbyes. The last few nights have been increasingly hard for me to get to sleep... i would worry and think about how much i would miss home, and tears would slowly well up in my eyes. Have been packing up miscellaneous items just now, and we tested the webcam too. That took quite a while cos there was something wrong with the webcam initially, but all is fine now. Thank God. Other than that, i've also prepared gifts for my parents and my brother and letters too. It's my 1st time writing such heart-to-heart letters (it actually took me quite a bit of courage to write them), but i really wanted them to know how much i would miss them. So yeah, glad that i kinda did all that i needed and wanted to do.

I am crossing my fingers and hoping i'll be emotionally stable tmr :) so my family wouldn't have to worry so much for me. Guess this would probably be the last post from Singapore, till 6 months later. Would most probably be blogging at the exchange blog more frequently once i've arrived safely in Switzerland! :)

Anyway, here're some prayer requests that you can be praying for us:

- good health throughout the 6 months for us and our families
- journey mercies for all the travelling
- that pickpockets will stay away from us
- for good bonding with the other exchange students and also, the swiss students there
- we'll be able to adapt and settle down quickly
- quick adjustment to the cold weather...hopefully we'll not catch a chill
- to have faith and trust God that He'll provide
- right mindset and attitude...that we're going there to study
- that my roomie (Tamisa) and i will be able to get along well (without conflicts with our habits)
- to have the desire and passion to discover God, serve Him and draw closer to Him
