I left US and took a 30 hour flight. It was painful.
16 hours from Houston to Doha, 8 hour transit, 8 hour flight to SG.
I couldn't wait to get off the plane.
Then I landed in SG, and spent another 2 weeks in quarantine.
This was painful as well, I couldn't wait to get out of the hotel.
Then once I was out, the next 3 weeks flew by super fast.
I went out with a couple of friends and family.
Unfortunately, I didn't meet up with everyone I would have liked to meet up with. There really wasn't much time. 3 weeks seems a lot but yet it's not.
Then just in what seemed like a blink of an eye, I had to board the plane again and take a 24 hour trip back to the US, transit was shorter so the total trip was a bit shorter.
8 hours from SG to Doha, 2 hour transit, 16 hours back to Houston.
Once again, the flight was painful and I couldn't wait to get off the plane.
I was pretty sad to leave SG but once I got on the plane, the pain of being on the plane made me forget about the sadness of leaving SG.
Yes, I really hate being on the plane. I really have no idea why people want to pay money to take a flight to nowhere.
Then once I landed in US, we took an Uber to our apartment and I was glad to be back to a comfortable place.
It's not that I love being in the US, but I really hate being on the plane. So I'm glad that I've landed and I'm more or less settled in already and life is back to a certain routine.
I went to a couple of supermarkets in the US a day after I landed.
And it felt weird, cos I didn't have to "scan in". I just walk into the supermarket and wander around looking for whatever I needed. Didn't need to "scan out" either.
I got a couple of new perspectives when I returned to SG.
Made me feel like stopping my posts.
I'll probably write a bit on what I realized in the next couple of days, and why these realizations made me feel like not writing anymore.
Hopefully I'll be able to get into the zone of posting again.
