Dearest readers,
I'm back on the go.
Began work today, and will be assisting the new incoming international students for the next week.
There were a couple of them that came in today. You can tell by the look of their faces that they were tired and homesick/lovesick.
WOW...being away from home for the past 5 years has pretty much drained out my memories of how much I use to be homesick.
Life in Malaysia was wild and adventurous for me.
I was the princess of rebellion. I loved breaking rules.
I knew everyone and everyone knew me.
I had "friends". I had my boyfriend.
Then I moved into an unfamiliar land. Different language, culture, set of rules, people, climate, neighborhood...No more friends, no more popularity, no more boy friend, no more attention, no more "the Evelyn"...only a stranger, an international student who always sits by herself in the corner.
I was angry. God took away everything I once had. The power and the control I use to have are all gone.
I will never stay here for long ...
That was 2002, now it's 2008...and I am still here, alive and livin it up.
When things change, it seems like the end of the world. But through hope and patience, beauty will reveal itself to us someday.
