My last post in Norway since I'll be flying off tomorrow. I know I have been totally lacking in updates, sorry, but the trip updates will have to be done when I'm back in Singapore. In this last time where I'm typing a blog post in my Norwegian Hostel Room, I will try and summarise the whole Norwegian adventure.

Life in Norway has been full of ups and downs. And it has mostly been me I think. The same old problem of thinking too much and letting myself bring me down. Some things cannot be helped. Like grandma. It is something that will stay with me for quite a while. But the experience here can never be replaced. The trips, the people, the food, even the things I learn. I've grown.

The trips I've made around Europe and even within Norway has made me seen so much more. The world is not that small after all. So much to see, so little time. If time and money permits, I'll definitely revisit the countries again.

As for the people, I've met so many different kind of people. Even the ones that I already knew. I've seen another side of them. Human are really socialising creatures. I doubt I would have survived these 5 months if I came alone.

Food. I CAN COOK! Discovery! Haha. Oh well, at least I can cook something decent and in fact, I'm much better at local food. Haha. I managed to cook nice prawn noodles, nice laksa, nice curry etc. As for western. Hmm. I'll need to eat more to know how to cook them. Hehe. Discovery number 2. I so prefer the fast food in Singapore. They taste so much better! Bah! McSpicy, Zinger... But if you are talking about cuisines, Belgium definitely left a very deep impression. The raw mussels, the fries, ice cream and even their random burgers. Heavenly.

Norway. I'll miss the slower pace of life here. The fresh air. The mountain that looks over me every single day. The long day to short day. The warm air to cold air. The snow. The Dota. The friends around me. Even the T-Bane and BI.

Seriously, I have no idea how to put my feelings into words. I'm looking forward to going back home, but at the same time, I want to continue staying here in Norway. I still want to go up North to see the Northern Lights. I still want to play with snow. But I want to go back to see my friends and K! I want to eat real Laksa and Rojak and all the local food! Oh well, all good things must come to an end right? So I guess this is good. I think I'm talking incoherently already. So one last shoutout.

GOODBYE NORWAY, KRINGSJA! WELCOME BACK TO SINGAPORE, HOME!
