Coming home from overseas study: It’s the toughest part

NOBODY told me moving back home from overseas studies would be this difficult.
Unlike my summer visits, where being in Singapore was merely physical relocation, moving home meant re-integration – a process I would have preferred to keep at arm’s length.

It was not that I resisted being in Singapore. I was more than happy to regain easy access to hawker food, speak Singlish freely and enjoy efficiency at its best.

But to fall right back into everyone else’s rhythm of life? No thanks.
