This is a world of dreams and reverie, where I felt the stars explode around me. A grass blade flashed with a gleam as it slashed open a moonbeam, and I stared back breathlessly. As mountains of fruit tumbled out, I barely had the chance to shout; a lingonberry avalanche crashed over me.

I am in England, y'all!

We arrived yesterday at about 2 plus, spent the night at a Travel Lodge nearby (surprisingly good I thought, then I found out from my mother that it's actually quite expensive LOL), and took the National Express to Fareham just today, where we are now, in a gorgeous apartment that we'd rented for half a month.
(I suppose we're closer to Wickham than Fareham, but the address apparently still writes as Fareham and I'm not going into technicalities.)

So far England's been good, I like where we are now, and we've not run into any kind of trouble yet, so yes I'm pretty much enjoying my time. :)
I'm still rather wigging out about my upcoming interviews, about school life later, and about our new life in general. I reckon I'm still in some sort of "holiday mode", maybe my subconscious mind is in denial and thinks we're just here for a short stay. In that case, I need to find a way to convince it that there's no going back for us, so that I can finally start accepting reality and settling down.
See, that kind of thing still freaks me out. Back in Singapore and HongKong, I'm in my zone, but over here I feel like a fish out of water. I have no idea what to expect, and how to deal when something happens. All the question marks are probably what makes this entire situation feel so surreal.

And for a while, I feel like giving up and turning back, but then I remind myself that come what may, I have to be strong.
