Oh…no! Time is ticking real fast. My sister will be leaving for the States in a day plus. And I still have an exam tomorrow afternoon. And I still haven’t hugged my sister enough… *oooooo*
Ouh… my sister is going to miss my warm hugs when she is in the states. wuakkka…
Our miniatures can hug well too (=
Kissing goodbye in a week. 
I will be leaving for US… I’m not very sure how I’m feeling at the moment — it must be a mix between excited, scared and I don’t know, perhaps worried..??
I am excited about my entire US trip because this is the first time I am traveling out of the country by myself. Yeah, I know I’m 27 and all that jazz. I am excited at the prospect of meeting a lot of turtle researchers, and I am excited to actually “see” US for the first time. But of course, I am also excited at the opportunity to visit so many places — Chicago, Tennessee, southern California, New Jersey and Florida — in one trip. Plus, I am also excited at the possibility of meeting a turtle scientist in Nova Scotia, Canada 
But at the same time, I am also feeling a little scared because this is the first time I will be away from home for such a long time. This is the first time I will be arriving at a country where nobody knows me. This is the first time I will be taking care of myself and all my belongings..
I am worried about my Mum. And my cutie pie sister because she is graduating in a couple of months, and I won’t be able to make it to her convocation I should have been around to guide her upon graduation, you know, to help her find jobs, to give her suggestions and recommendations on how to get things done and other stuff that an elder sister is expected to do. Instead, I would be in another country 12 hours away
I am truly grateful to be given such a golden opportunity, and I would like to record my heartfelt thanks to the Asian Scholarship Program for in-situ Chelonian Conservation, to all my sponsors (I hope I get to know who you are and thank you personally), and to William, the Program Director. Thank you for answering my non-stop questions, and thank you also for getting me my air tickets and co-ordinating my trip and for everything in between. Thank you for making this possible for me 
To my blog readers and visitors, thank you for the continuous encouragement and support. You guys are my biggest inspiration 
I will continue to post updates here whenever possible, so do keep in touch yea?
