Saturday night, we departed from Honolulu Airport and reached Fairfield fifteen sleepy hours later.

Home sweet home. There’s no place like home.

It’s spring time here. Everywhere is much greener than two weeks ago.

Although it’s still a little chilly at 10-20C, I am going to enjoy every bit of everything I could get out of spring. Spring has cast a magic spell on me. How can anyone not appreciate spring? It only happens once per year!

It’s so wonderful to be home. Hmm… the smell of home. A place where my dog wags his tail waiting eagerly for my arrival. A place where I don’t have to think much, just … relax. A place that brings — Ultimate Comfort.

Even though Hawaii trip was super fun, the constant seeing places and moving; the change of diet and rest schedule; have taken a toll on my body without me realizing it.

As soon as I reached home, I could feel that my body started to release the stress that was built up from my trip. The magic of home!!

As a first generation immigrant, I often feel confused about where my home is since I don’t have any family and relatives in the States. A very wise man once told me “home is where your heart is”. My heart is now back to Fairfield.

Fairfield has a serene quality to it and it holds a special place in my heart. I know this place inside out and have made great friends here.

I am also glad that I have an international group of friends whom we always celebrate holidays and create more memories together.

Every year I wish to move away from Fairfield to a warmer place especially when winter comes. It has been eight years and I am still here. I am not sure how long I would be here, but one thing I know for sure is I will cherish Fairfield forever. 🙂

It’s time to go back to my daily routine. And, I can’t wait to tend to my garden. 🙂

I will also be organizing and posting more photos from my trip in the next few days.

Every day is an adventure. But right now, I just need to take a good rest.

Good night.
