I'm back

Hey reader! Surprised to see me? I know its been ages. I can say that everything in my life had been going on so smoothly for the past few months that the thought of blogging escapes my mind. But here I am back again with more stories to tell. Unfortunately today, it is not a very happy story. It was the end of my fairytale romance. The prince whom I thought was a prince after a string of toads turned out to be a toad too. Story of my life.

But I'm happy to say that it hit the 6-month mark. A record-breaking feat seeing that none of the other relationships last more than 3 months. The difference is that this is long distance. I guess guys can't bear staying with me for more than 3 months, huh? Just a reckoning.

So tomorrow's my semester class test. I'm handing in my final news story tomorrow. Presentation and another test on Wednesday. Then I'm done for the semester! Flying back home on Saturday. Was supposed to stay for five days but because of the changes of events I'm staying two weeks instead. I miss home badly. I love Perth but nothing beats home, seriously. The scents, the sights, the surroundings. Heck, I even miss my smelly dog. No one looks happier to see me each time I come home even though I ignore him.

The first thing I will do when I get back is to savour the delicacies of Malaysia. Nasi Lemak, Assam Laksa, come to me! Then of course meeting up family and friends. Need to visit my ailing grandmother. She's special to me, a very loving grandmother who always make sure all of us are well-fed. Then the friends that I have grown up with. Friends who saw me through thick and thin, through the hook ups and the break ups. People that I will cherish forever and never ever take for granted. You know who you are.

I think the people I want to meet most is Mom and Dad. They gave me all types of support through the whole ordeal, financial, emotional and psychological. At my darkest moments, they were who I turned to.

Going back also may give me time to reflect. Reflect on the past 6 months. What has happened. The lesson learnt. The scars healing as the wounds close. The happiest moments of my life as well as the saddest. Life is truly a rollercoaster ride. You don't expect the sudden dips and turns...and twists that scares the hell out of you. But I have grown. Even though I don't admit it but I have grown more mature and wiser in all these. Being in Australia, I learned how to take care of myself. Something I never thought would happen. I learned how to be my own best friend when there is no one else to turn to at night. At my lowest point, it was God and myself that pulled me through.

Right now I just want to say thank you. Thank you to people who have shaped my life. For the good and the bad. For the joy and the pain. It has been an eventful 6 months. Probably one of the greatest lessons ever learnt.

Yesterday was a lesson. Today is a present. Tomorrow's a mystery.
