To try and take my mind off work, I have got my IPod on me at the moment to try to listen to some music . Instead of making me less stressed out, I start thinking about all the times I was in Sheffield with Ija, Amon, Abalong and Co and then it made me feel a bit sad all of a sudden. A lot of things have changed, and it was not helped by the fact that I was just off the phone with Amon just now and to hear how much her tone of voice has changed since she went to work in KL.So different from her usual, calm self.
I guess it is true that living here in Malaysia does make you change a little bit from the calmer person you were once before; perpetually stressed out in rushing to meet deadlines,do this,do that, etc. I am not saying home isn't great, its brilliant.But sometimes,just sometimes, it can make you feel you have too much on your plate.
I miss my old self- my home at Ecclesfield, and more importantly my life there. It was unhurried and so much calmer. Maybe it was the weather that was never warm so people were rarely hot and bothered to the point they always looked stressed out.
I guess I am still lucky I am in KK where people here are still placcid compared to us Semenanjung lot whose always quick to lose our temper (yours truly included).
All the same, I still miss my house, the snowman I left behind and McArthur Glen.
And McFly..
Oh deary me....Its a good job Amon and Shirin/Tun/Zaira are coming here in 3 weeks.
Its times like this sometimes I will say I can't wait to go to Sydney ASAP , away from Malaysia ; then change my mind in a few ticks and say oh what the fish...home is BEST!!!
My hypocrisy only goes so far...
