There and Back Again
In the Hong Kong International Airport right now. Right outside a sports bar of sorts watching people watch the World Cup. I'm not a football fan in any form, but the sound of people cheering and conversation is nice. Most of the shops in the airport are closing so I don't have window shopping to help me kill time.
Here's a summary log of my life as of recently. I personally have no idea how many people actually even bother reading my LJ honestly. I'm basing this of comment but at the same time I don't really think of using that a measure seeing as I myself don't answer most of the LJs I read because I have no time, but I read them. Just a thought.
I got back last Wednesday to Malaysia and today, Friday of the next week, I'm headed back to the U.S. again. Short visit, I know. I'll be honest when I say I was half looking forward to it and half dreading it. The latter for more than one reason that would take perhaps an age to fully explain but in a sentence, it was probably due mostly to my fear and insecurity of not knowing how 'Home' would be like to me anymore.
In another context, I wondered if my life back home would be like my journal, dead and desolate at times. Sounds emo but I don't mean it in that way, just more of a figurative context.
I wish I could have logged everything that happened daily because personally, much a I half dreaded it, I don't regret coming home. In fact I thoroughly enjoyed myself. I kind of wish I had more time to spend with people. Short log, things I loved.
I had time to touch base with friends again. Not all as I wished, but most. I missed seeing quite a few but time and schedules clashing did not help. Its ok though : D Thanks to those who did see me.
The time spent in Singapore with futomimii , axtar and yuncyn and getting to see lennethxvii and kanasaii is a time I'll treasure <3
I managed to meet up with some of the oldest friends I have in my life. We knew each other young, grew up apart, minimal contact throughout our formative years but we kept a good repertoire, became adults apart, and it always amazes me how even after all that time and so much change, we still click like there's no tomorrow. Great conversations, and its nice to see how it is we're all planning our lives be it in studies or work apart.
I got to see my family. I'm happy to be able to come home just to see how my siblings grow. I always wondered if I'd grow apart from my siblings since I'm overseas during their formative years so its good to come back and touch base so they don't forget their older sister. : )
I probably won't be back for a year at least, or so that's how our planning is going so far. Lots to do, far away from home, but I'll keep doing my best.
I hope everyone at home keeps doing their best too : ) When you have time, do please keep in touch in anyway possible. I may not be the most responsive due to schedules and time differences, but I'd like everyone to know that I'm grateful for all who keep me in mind because I keep you all in mind too.
<3 Good Luck everyone.
I have loads of photos from Singapore to upload next. Let the culling begin, haha.
