That this was perhaps the most unenjoyable Chinese New Year to me is definitely an understatement.
It’s just the most polite way I can think of putting it.
And so I thought my escapade to the Big City would be a welcome (and much needed) relief.
Disheartened, disappointed, frustrated and sad, I packed my things into the car and hurried off in the middle of the night without a care in the world.
Never would I have thought that so many things were being put to the test in so short a time, and in so many possible ways.
And if I thought driving two hundred kilometres down south to the thriving metropolis to see friends close and dear would solve everything --at least for now--, then I was to be proven utterly wrong.
But its all over now. What’s past is past. And it was all to be another lesson to be learnt. Even with all this being so, I definitely had a pleasant time during my stay there.
Thanks so much for the omelette sandwiches. For staying late despite the long drive back to Cyberjaya. For the lovely DAC. For the pint of Guinness. And for that afternoon drenched in green tea.
We are told from young to not keep unhealthy things --emotional baggages, and grudges especially-- against others for too long a time, but I cannot help but walk away from the past week doing precisely so.
Maybe just a little bit here and there.
Oh well. With all the hustle and bustle settled down and done with, I certainly look forward to the (very few) days ahead, spending time with family, the cats, the car and the coffee in this beautiful valley that is home.
It won’t be long before all this would again be a luxury, and nothing more than a mere memory of people and a place that once was.
It won’t be long before I’ll start missing all this, and wishing the academic hellhole in the island continent would be over.
It won’t be long before it’ll be time to go, again.

Well, enjoy the rest of the time! I realized the frequency of myself blogging significantly reduced due to the holidays.
Who cares? Live it! =D
