him: No (a flat No)
me: really? but uve been there for 1 year 3 months and 13 days
him: cos' it's not home. Nothing beats home.
Me: Maybe if I'm there, then you'll call it home yeah. *winks*
he's leaving tomorrow, for the 3 day stopover to Japan, before finally returning home for good. It's weird that I am the one feeling all melancholic for him, while he appears indifferent. Living in the apartment alone, without family members around and *me* (not shy), especially when night falls, isn't something that he quite relish, he said. It helps that his fellow counterparts with wives and kids in tow, often made his apartment their "port", hence allays that stab of loneliness for a while.
anyways, I fell in love with this small quaint town, during my short stint last July 2004.
Quiet, scenic, very laid-back - a place I would love to call my own, away from the hustle and bustle of this concrete city life.
just some pics showing wht oregon has to offer her inhabitants:
streets lined with greenery and blue sky...*i wonder how~ i wonder why~ yesterday we talked about the blue blue sky~~....
the oregon coast
went up the lighthouse..hv forgotten how high up it was. we weren't gasping when we reached the top, so it was a manageable feat..heh!
tulips festival
i didn't get to witness these tho', pics courtesy of mb..the tulips festival covers 30 football fields if I am not mistaken..
auto-bahning @ mt hoodoo
silver falls
and his mode of transportation
check out the car plate..their car plates offers visual treats, eg. pics of crater lake, mount hood etc etc. to *suaku* people like me. his car plate isn't "scenic" tho'..
and, he gets to drive a Camry there.
To be able to get a Camry here in Sgp, I say - wait long long!!
at least, for us.. :P
and Woodburn. Who can forget Woodburn.
The ultimate factory outlet sans tax.
My favourite shopping paradise. His too.
In fact, everyone's favourite.
..if i were him, i'd miss the place, ... terribly.
so mb, here's my virtual farewell to Oregon, for you:
...Goodbye Oregon..and Hello Singapore...
