first week back

I just got back from grocery shopping at victoria market and safeway. Tired,arms aching and all are words i can only describe my present state. Yes, it has been a while since i last did any of these things. I escaped from these stuff when i went back to singapore but now im back to having do it again. Oh well, guess thats life overseas by yourself. This week has been mentally and physically exhausting for me. Well, firstly its results week, secondly, its back to doing everything by myself again. Quite a struggle i must admit, considering i lived a sheltered and comfortable life at least for the past two weeks. Honestly, I kinda miss that. Well, i got all my results back. It was all right but not quite up to my expectation. Was quite disappointed with some results.Initially i did struggle to come to terms with my results. It is really weird cos here though u get 80 over percent you are not happy. Thats because the expectations is different i suppose. I was brooding over my results for quite a while but i decided that there is no point on doing that anymore. It would serve no purpose. Its easier said than done , but i would definitely try. Ok everyone here is feeling quite homesick, and im no exceptional. IT takes a while to adjust back to life here i suppose. Ive had quite a hard week this week but as dad says "life is full of ups and downs". I guess its my down period now . But i hope it will be over soon . My brother has been in the army for about four days? I saw the picture dad sent me yesterday. He is really BALD now. LIKE BALD. haha . but im really proud of my brother. He has really excelled in poly. Well done bro !! Anyway alot of issues have been brought up between my parents and myself. Friends , life skills and all have been discussed. I will not go into detail but it has been useful in helping me see the big picture and my parents have always been so supportive and all. Giving me advices in my most dire state and all. Thanks mum and dad. I appreciate it alot. Sorry for making you all tolerate all my whining and all. I am really quite a whiner. Sigh. This has been a week since i came back. LOts have happened and alot more are about to come. Life is a journey, a long one full of ups and downs. I just have to learn to deal with it.
