Homesickness?

I had started realized that whenever I feel stressed out, I get this pangs of desire to just to hop on to the next flight home. I missed the food, my friends and the convenience of being home.

When this happens, I find that it becomes seriously exhausting to keep pushing on. But surprisingly, it is the fact that the more I got to go home, and when I return to Perth, the heavier this particular emotion gets.

Now, although I know that it isn't very thing good for me to do, I tend to find myself often comparing my lifestyle to that in Singapore. While it is true that working in the Lion City might is tiring and stressful compared to living in here, some people do not see the disadvantages of living here alone. 

I really like the idea of coming home to place where I get to whine, pester family members and where hot food is ready or gotten cheaply. That is like a dream for me at this time. I don't have a license, it takes me half an hour walk to get to the trains in the morning at 6am, rent must be paid, food is expensive with a average of $12 for a simple dish, grocery is heavy and far away, dinner and a lunchbox be made everyday not matter how tired you get. 

But, don't me wrong. I don't hate staying here. I think it is just because I am feeling very pressured by the exam tomorrow that I am feeling this way...
