| | 10 months on and here I am in another place, another time.
Writing here seems so foreign, yet somewhat familiar.
Somehow today in the stillness of a saturday afternoon I find myself wondering about this blog.
My brain struggles to string together proper sentences, the activity in itself having been eclipsed by short IM speak.
So bear with me as I attempt to put down thoughts into words.
Life in this place has not been smooth-sailing all the way.
There were so many times during the earlier part of the year where I was close to tears, heck who am I kidding there were lots of tears to be had.
Uprooting from my family and friends and all that I held dear to my heart felt like leaving Malaysia all over again.
This time though, I had grown rather fond of the place they call Adelaide.
They asked me why I wanted to move, and I could only offer up vague responses.
Seven months down the track, I am no where nearer to knowing why I am here than before.
But I am so much closer to discovering who I am, what I like, what I don't.
I have learnt to appreciate all that my parents did for me and things I took for granted, like hot food ready when I stepped in the front door after a long day.
I have learnt that sometimes all you need is a good friend on the couch next to you watching masterchef.
I have learnt that double or queen beds are way more comfortable than single beds because of all the extra space!
I have learnt that I like long drives as long as I have good music to listen to.
I have learnt to stand on my own two feet albeit at the ripe old age of 25 years.
I have learnt that God stretches me so that I can grow, but He never said that the stretching was going to be easy.
I have a lot more to learn, for that I am sure.
And I am also sure that my God has planted me here for a reason.
