A good bye to home

I’m writing this at the gate for my flight back to KL from good sweet home Kuching. It’s hard to swallow that I’m leaving home literally. Two days later I’m flying off to Perth to begin a new chapter of my life. Our life. Kai and I will begin our lives together. Finally.

Despite my excitement to start anew, a part of me is kinda in shock at the fact I’m leaving good company of family and friends. I did try to meet with as many people as possible but I can only do so much with so little time. I guess deep inside it’s difficult for me to see everyone and bid my farewell coz a part of me rather not go through all that. Especially with people who have impacted me in some way.

It’s especially difficult with my “brothers” whom I’ve spent as much time as possible. It’s good it’s bad all in one go.

I’m happy to leave but I’m not when I find it hard to figure out when is the next time I’ll meet anyone face to face. Facebook or any social network can only do so much but I suppose that is the only bridge I have to maintain any sort of communication. Yes the world is smaller with the Internet but nothing beats the good ol kopitiam or pub meets.

Will I miss Malaysia?

Of course I would. No matter how messed up it is politically, the allure is still the diversity and the close knit relationship amongst everyone (well almost).

I will always love my hometown and my wonderful Sarawak and fellow Sarawakians (and a hint of peninsular folks). That will hardly change (unless the state goes to shit by politics).

To everyone that has touched my life, I will always remember it and by no means will I ever lose my pride and identity as a Sarawakian. You can take the boy outta Sarawak but you will never take Sarawak outta the boy.

I bid y’all adieu but I will definitely be back from time to time when I can.

I love you all!
