The very typical

post that Imma rush in and get it done before the year end, the last day, last few days, last few moments before the year officially ends.
*
And here I am. Sitting on an island. On an island which is proclaimed to be one of the biggest islands around the world, if not, top five or top ten biggest? In terms of land area that is.
*
Been here for exactly three weeks. From the seventh day of the month in December and not to forget the two thousand and fourteenth year of the century?
*
I reckon. I left this piece of land exactly seven years ago. April intake for Nottingham Broga in the year of two thousand and seven. From then on, never had I lived in this very island for more than a month of four weeks, I supposed. Those years were spent freely. Both mentally, physically and most importantly, emotionally. Life hasn't been as great, before.
*
Soon after, a couple plus year went on the Peninsula side, off I went; up to the northern hemisphere, part of the world. The colder part on the earth. Again, things has just been better, ever. Long holidays were spent very much wisely. Apart from vacations, summer schools are in the list, properly documented. Unexplainable life experience has definitely shines on top of the mountain.
*
And oh, friendship, long distance friendship needless shall I mention.
*
It got slightly even more exciting. When I gotten my first job offer. Phoned father in the moment itself. Thought it all worth the effort and time. Being thankful shall I not miss out. That was the last. And off I flown, back to the almost seems detached main land.
**
Reality sank in. These are the years it all started. Gigantic multinational organisation that is. Worked, worked and worked. There were ups and downs of course. What's left more importantly is probably expectation management. Very much like a hop on and off tour. Friendship, colleague-ship established. Definitely not as much.
***
Never had I thought it were to came as early.
*
After a solid seven years, off I flew on a single journey itinerary, back to the island where I spent the first eighteen years of my life.
and I shall continue my journey from hereon.

  1. hahaha! this sounds like the typical The Tall Tall One!

    knowing that you have frequent connection issues (from all the "test test" on whatsapp), pretty surprised that you are still updating over here.

    Time helps and I guess if you just stay as open minded and hearted as you did 7 years back before you started your Peninsular journey, you might gain new insights and enjoy your life hereon.

    All the best and happy new year! =)
