I woke up in the morning and we got ready for breakfast at the hotel. For the last few days, we have been staying at the Admiral Hotel in Copenhagen: a beautiful, rustic and well-located hotel. CHeck out the picture.....http://www.admiralhotel.dk/article.aspx?id=130097

We had a nice breakfast at the restaurant and came back to pack our bags. Soon, we were on the taxi on the way to the airport. In less than 30 minutes, we were checked in and were on our way to the duty-free outlets. In a flash, we were comfortably seated on the plane and ready for take-off.

It was an emotional time for me. Tears rolled down my face as the plane took off. I miss Copenhagen. I miss the friends that I have made in school. I miss seeing the children clad in bulky winter jackets walking along the lakes and streets. I miss seeing the parents pushing their strollers in the parks. I miss the cold weather. I miss the air that I have breathed. I miss the hot dogs. I miss sitting by the lakes and simply taking in the view.

I guess I have planted my roots there somehow. It is ironic that I do not have such feelings for Singapore after having spent so many years here. Is it because I discovered myself in Copenhagen? Is it because Copenhagen presents the elements which I have always been looking forward to?

I fear coming back. I dread coming back. Yet, I am also excited to be back to embark on a new career. Such a melange of feelings and emotions have turned me topsy-turvy. I have no idea what is really going on inside me. What is the cause of all these? Excitement? Stress? Anxiety?

I do not know.
