God Bless America

From the mountains
To the prairies
To the oceans
White with foam

10 years, gone in a flash. It has been 8 years since I got back. I wanted to specially blog on this date because it reminded me of the times that I had in America. Although it was only a brief 3 years, I've picked up a lot more than I expected, and I made my parents the most proud then, and I think ... I did too. (That's how lousy I am right now) Fact: I actually got first place in some inter-school/community Math Olympiad. I know. Me, first place, and math. My parents can't stop teasing me about it. I was totally clueless because everyone was nudging me to get on stage and I was like "But that's not even my name!" .... Well it was, I mean every American would've registered that "Heng Yu Jie Deon" would be pronounced as "Hungyooje Deon" and at the speed the guy was going ....... mmmhmm. Good times, good times. Making it into the honor roll of Montrose, getting like 3 hours of recess and breaks combined every single day, spring/summer/winter breaks, watching Disney Channel for over 7 hours after I got back from school, having bible lessons and chapel every Wednesday. That was when school used to be fun and easy to get by. And now it's just out to get me.

There were always drive-ups to Rehoboth Beach to look forward to during the holidays. I remember the drive-up to Canada with Jane's family. 10 fucking hours in a 10 passenger SUV. I've always wanted to visit Texas. The filet-o-fish in America tastes different from the one in Singapore. I think it's a different fish. I'm in love with the chicken noodle soup at Boston Market. I can go on raving about it all day. I can't remember anything else in particular, but all I know is I really want to go back again. Be it to visit or .......whatever.


Hope the trip to America at the end of the year comes true! Already made plans with Kristina to meet up and stuff so I REALLY can't wait. I know how unorganized/crackbrained/rant-y this post is but I just can't find a better way to express how I feel about ...this. Whatever 'this' is. Ok there I go again.

P/s it's past 12am but I'll still keep it to 11/9
