I have never felt this way before..

I can't explain what I'm feeling right now. I'm all so excited and happy.

Do you remember when you're younger and you're going for a trip?

You would pack your bags days before the actual trip.

You would go to bed early the night before.

And in the end you don't get any sleep at all because you're just too god damn excited..or just too afraid of getting up late and missing the trip altogether.

The anticipation of something fun/good that you know is going to happen.

That is what I'm feeling right now.

It's going to be almost 2 years now ever since I left home. I know I've blogged about my family and friends back home pretty often these few weeks but I just can't help it. I have too say that my life and heart is still and will always be back in Malaysia. As cheesy as it sounds, I mean it. Even with crime rates increasing, horrible traffic jams, stressfulness, humid weather, places packed with people everywhere, crazy politicians, corruption....I still love Malaysia.

I miss my family, my friends, the delicious food, the priviledge of having a car, soccer, shopping, cinemas, night life, mamak, everything is cheaper and etc..

I never missed home so much. I wonder if anyone out there would understand how I feel right now..there are people that left home for studies just like me and are ready to settle down overseas. Because they have spent around maybe 3-4 years away from home. In those few years they have made new friends, adapt to the lifestyle and are already comfortable in where they are and what they are doing in life. I have made great friends here too and I wouldn't give that up for anything. Just like my friends back home. I'm happy for these people. I wished I knew what I wanted to do with my life.

But if I knew, I think life wouldn't be as interesting as it is right now. I don't even know I am making much sense now..just bear with me..

As far as I know now,

I'm looking forward to be back in Malaysia for good in mid 2008(visa expires).

But I don't mind getting residency here. But if I do get it, I'll keep it and return home. Of course I'll stay awhile more because that will be one of the requirements. I might come back here when I'm old and grey maybe.. Another factor would make me stay is a better pay slip or a better job. But that won't make me stay long either..because:

1) I know that sooner or later I wanna be back home.

2) Parents are getting old and (touchwood million of times) they will not be here forever(just typing this, is making me tear). I'll be broken but that is just life. I'll hate myself for not spending time with my family. 3 years is a very long to be away from your parents and family. We always do take things for granted.

3) Friends..ppl that make your life worth while. They have already planned to pick me up, yum cha the same night I'm back after spending some time with my family..enough said..wouldn't you wanna be back? No wonder I cried when I left...enough said..

4) Majority of the good friends here in NZ will be back in Malaysia sooner or later too..but for those who aren't I'll miss you..

5) NZ is so boring..the country is beautiful..but it is just not my type of country..it is just making me slow..if you get what I mean..

Anyway...enough about that...just wanna say I can't wait to be back...I've already started packing some clothes and food..

Life..oh life...all I know now is ...I MISS HOME AND I MISS MY GIRL! Click here to cheer you up after a long read… 2 MORE WEEKS BABY!

you know what makes the best presents?

Cards.

Yeap.. just plain old-fashioned hand written cards.

They are cheap but don't let the value fool you. It is worth much much more than just a piece of folded paper. Cards are really meaningful.

I was taking down some of the cards on the wall and I took the time to re-read those cards. I tell you it brings back so much sweet sweet memories. Those cards and letters are like a time machine/capsule that brings you back to those special moments in your life and capture it in simple words.

You know, if you ever visited my room, you will know I love to keep cards. Even cards from maybe high school, I still keep them. Greeting cards, pen pal letters, love letters and etc. If you ever sent a card to me, I will definitely still have it with me.

Cause I simple love them. Anyway just random thoughts...hehehe

Do you like to keep them or throw them out after awhile?

Updates

Have been a little bit occupied these few days..

Wednesday

Went to Mission Bay with Jun Bin and gang. Had bbq on a windy windy day. Met some new people, played some soccer, ate some ice cream and headed back to our place to watch a dvd..

Thursday

Decided not to wake up so late and waste the day, so I got up "early" 1pm...and headed to Kroad to replace my faulty hard drive and headed to the office even though I'm still on holidays. I was looking for things to do and I've decided to work on some video stuff but I needed a faster computer. Too bad the office was closed. Decided to head to Dressmart instead to do some window shopping. Didn't buy anything in the end. In the night, a few of us, Yin, Shaun, Henry, Sheng, Jun Bin, Christine and me headed to Momotea for drinks with Wei En before she heads back home to Malaysia.

Friday

Went to Muriwai Beach. It was awesome weather. It was less windy and chilly as the other time I went with Zaf, Eunice, Previn, David and Gjin. This time the sun was burning hot and the water was still freezing cold. All of us went boogie boarding and it was really fun!! The water was really cold though..can feel like it is stinging your legs..Anyway in the night, we went to Momotea again, this time Yin orgarnize it and there were lots of Umsa ppl and Shaun's and Yin's friends. Enjoyed the night..even I was a little tired..hehe

Saturday

Saturday soccer is finally back on!! Thanks to Jeremy we managed to find enough people to play again. I definitely enjoyed myself. Got to run around and kick balls again after so so long. Later that evening it was Jasmin's birthday! (Happy Birthday Jasmin!!) So we headed to Ravi's for some delicious Indian food. And after that I called it a night..needed to pang sai..hehe

Sunday

Woke up and now typing this entry. Might be going out to look at some new apartments around city.. might move..and gosh I managed to wake up at 10am!! Woohoo! Back to work tomorrow...I can't wait!! Sad right...but I got reason wan...So I can past my time faster and before I know it, I will be back in Malaysia and I will be meeting my Mag, my family and my friends!!

Have a lovely day, and a great week ahead!
