This Friday, my parents will come to Singapore
and will stay here for 6 days. I cannot control my excitement when I heard the
news that my parents have already bought the air ticket. It has been nearly 6 months
since I come here in Singapore. During the 6 months, although I have a video conversation
with my parents almost every day, I still miss them so much, especially when I was
alone. Frankly speaking, I had never remained in residence, even never gone to nightly
self- study for a single day at school before. So this is the first time that I left the shelter from my parents and began a totally new form of life. You can imagine how hard it
is for me to adapt to the completely new environment in another country at first. But in
general, I really changed much during the last 6 month. In the study life abroad,
I learned how to be independent. I had to manage my study as well as my daily
life. I learned to how to handle the great stress and competition in study. Nobody
will supervise my study anymore. Everything must be totally by my
self-conscious. I also learned to bear solitude. Not every time I have friends
to rely on. Sometimes I had to face some problems by myself. In this process, I
think I became mature more or less.
Now there are only 4 days before my parents’
coming. I have made a lot of plan for them. I hope they can enjoy their 6-day
staying here although it seems a little short for me. I will take them to the Singapore
flyer, Sentosa, Singapore zoo and so on. And also I will let them have a taste
of the delicious and typical food here. My parents have done so much for my on
the road of my life. I hope I can make use of this opportunity to accompany
with them and set their minds at rest about my life abroad. 5 May is coming
soon and I am really looking forward to picking them up at the airport!!!

ReplyDeleteHope you will have a wonderful time with your parents. Family union is always one of the most fantastic events. I do agree with you that we should express our gratitude to our parents and never to be shy to express our love to them. Remember to bring them try the durian at bugis street!haha

ReplyDeleteDear Shuman,
ReplyDeleteI think you can tell your parents that they can be proud of you. Although this is your first time away from home, you've adjusted very well. You get along well with your classmates, you've been prompt in doing all your assignments, and you've done a good job working with your research group. I've found you to be a dependable, steady and likeable person. I hope you had a good time with your parents when they were here.
