Back to my life.

So we flew from New York to Anchorage that night. But before that, the flight was postponed till 4-freaking-am, 4 hours after the supposed departure time... WDF.

So we were sleeping in the JFK airport, on the floor and all that..

And in Anchorage, we had a quick stopover (no pictures there... boring...). Funny how our trip to the States ended with us in Alaska again.

Same gloomy weather that we were acclimatised to for 3 months... same mountainous scenery... and same cool fresh air.

And after we bid farewell to Alaska, we flew in to Taipei for a stopover in the airport. We were supposed to have rooms in the airport's hotel but seeing how short our stay there was (cause of the 4 hours delay) we bargained to stay in the Business Class lounge...

How luxurious... Free food, luxurious bathrooms and WIFI.

And then we flew back. Back home.

How wonderful it feels to step into Changi airport. And see people of my kind (Seriously, seeing other fellow Singaporeans really had an impact on me).
Seeing the familiarity of the airport...
Being welcomed back (literally) at the passport check-in terminal...

And finally seeing my family again. I could not stop smiling the nano-second I caught a glimpse of my Dad behind the glass wall beside the baggage-collection belt.

I was smiling so wide, you could say it was almost involuntary.

The relief to see my Mum again. The joy of carrying my niece again.
And the anticipation to feel the humidity on the skin...

I cannot put all those emotions into words...
Or maybe I just did.

I am so glad to be home.

Really... :)
