Where The Adventure Begins

The big day had finally arrived; the day I actually moved to somewhere far away from my home and a place where I would be living on my own.


Okay, that is it, too dramatic. 😅

Hello Bloggies (this just came out of nowhere)! A little update from me, I had moved to Singapore! Yeah, you read it right, I live in Singapore right now. Brace yourself, you are going to see a lot of my new "Singapore blog post". 😁

Phew, now that I have kind of settled down in Singapore (at least I have a desk now in my room) and it is time for me to update my blog a little bit.

Moving and staying at a few different places have always been my wildest dream. Yeah, I know it may sound crazy but I am into that kind of life. I have been living out of my hometown which is Melaka for almost 6 years now and this was my first time moving out to a foreign country. Don't worry, I am not alone because my bf is here with me. 😁


Flashback to about 2 weeks ago when I was struggling to pack my stuff. Did not know that I had accumulated so many stuff over the past 3 years. Seriously people, never ever underestimate the amount of stuff you have. My clothes had already occupied 2 of my 26 inch luggage bags, I did not know why I would end up in this situation and why on earth I still do not have enough clothes to wear? What kind of sorcery is this? 😱

Not only clothes that I had to worry about, all those cute plushies that I had collected throughout the years was another pain in the butt (Hello Kitty plushies from McDonald's 😒) but I still love them all though. Another kind of love-hate relationship between me and my plushies. 😂 I have to promise myself that I am not going to buy any random plushies that I find cute at the shopping malls so dear plushies, please hide and don't let me find you. 😂

After days of packing and this happened.



Why did I have so much stuff again? No one knew why and it was a mystery that I did not even know.

That was it, after staying in KL for almost 6 years and finally it was time for me to leave. I don't think I will have the chance to go back KL anytime soon since my home is in Melaka. This part of moving had made me sad because most of my friends were in KL and I had to say goodbye to a place filled with memories. 

Honestly, I cried the night before I left KL. It is always hard to say goodbye. 😢
I know I could always go back but the feeling would no longer be the same. 

I understand that this is not the end of my life, it simply means that part of my life has over and it is time to flip over the page to another new chapter of my life; just like how we do it when we are reading a book. You would not want to read the same page over and over again right?

With all the tears streaming down my face, I suddenly realized just how blessed my live had been over the past few years. Everything in my life was so perfect and I could not ask for more. I am truly grateful for that.
Yup, I am one of the lucky people on earth to have something that makes saying goodbye hard. 

One day, I actually stumbled upon this great blog about saying goodbye and I really liked it. It says there "If it's hard to say goodbye, your life's been truly blessed", awesome read. 👍

Living abroad has always been my dream and now moving to Singapore is like living in my own dream. It felt quite surreal to me when I knew that I was going to live there for some time. Although Singapore is like a 4 hours car journey from Melaka but hey, I am taking my first baby steps towards my dream. I should be proud of myself. 👍

When I was a kid, my parents would take us to Singapore every Christmas to visit my aunt who was staying in Singapore and I fell in love with this place. I am just the type of girl who enjoys the hustle and bustle of city life. I do enjoy the feeling of catching the bus or train to work every morning or rushing to places where I need to be; it makes me feel like I have my life together and I am always on the go (if that even make sense 😕). Okay, the bottom line is that I love living in a busy city, the end.

I am grateful for the live I have right now; I have a job with a stable income, I have a roof over my head when it rains outside, I have a comfy bed to sleep in after a long day at work and most importantly, I have the chance to live the life that I want. I am blessed. 😊

Another milestone achieved and there are more to come.

Crazy dreams do actually come true sometimes so dare to dream because there is nothing that you can't achieve. 😉

Okay, I think I should just end my post here. I am not even sure what am I typing anymore, starting to lose control over my fingers on the keyboard. 😝 First, I was cursing myself for having too much stuff to pack, then I felt emo about saying goodbye and now, I am here talking about dreams.

Maybe I should just give my brain a break.

So yeah, dear Singapore, please be nice to me. And if you happen to be in Singapore too, don't forget to drop me a message through Facebook, Whatsapp, Line, Hangout, Skype or wherever you can reach me.

Looking forward to the new adventures in Singapore!

The girl who lives in Singapore,
Rachel.
