I am tired. Hungry. Sitting in front of my laptop, having catched up with two friends on the other end of the globe, my mind began to ponder, on various things...
This is a new year piece, so, first off, Happy new year everyone. It is impossible for me to know what your goals are, what all your wishes are for the new year, but to those of you reading this, hava a fantastic year.
To be frank, I am not holding my breath for this year myself. As far as I am concerned, let 2010 never come upon us. But it did, and guess what, just give me a slap and say 'get on with it'. That's what I need. My only defence would be, 'but how'?
I still remember my post here right before I come to UK, I said, 'a chapter of my life is closed, but a new one is beginning'. Now, it's been three years, and this chapter too, is coming to an end. Expecting me to say 'time flies'? Well, sort of. But if I stop and think what happened within the recent 3 years, I would say, so much has happened.
For one, my perspective in life changed. In fact, it changed a few times too many, but I am none the wiser. One thing I can say for certain though, is that I am humbled. If I were to be perfectly honest, my self worth was completely and utterly crushed. The good news is, it crushed a few other things along with it. I was foolish. Competitive. Jealous. Wishful. Uninspired. 5 dangerously contagious charactor traits. 5 unacceptable ones.
I am no longer.
They say university is where you grow the most. I cant agree more. If you are reading this Dad and Mum, you may have wondered, 'is the money on my degree well spent?', the answer would be, a definite 'yes'. Never once have I regretted this journey.
Although it is as though I left heaven for earth.
