No sense of familiarity

  • Comments 2

I returned to NP yesterday, in order to attend the Toastmasters Division D International Speech & Table Topics Contests 2010 held at LT26, after leaving in 1994. It's been 16 years since I left, and 20 years since I first came here. While parts of the place looked familiar, others do not. I took a short walk around the poly and looked for the restaurant (near the swimming pool) that I used to frequent during lunch time, when I felt to be in the mood, and it's no longer there.

I found it strange and puzzling that I felt no sense of familiarity, nor sense of home feeling, like how and what I felt the other time when I returned to Singapore, or looking at a familiar face in a photo.

Under what circumstances and situations do these sense of home and familiarity feeling come about?
