Now and Then...

You stop whatever you're doing to ponder about your life... To reflect, think, and plan...

As for me, I seem to do that alot whenever I'm home. 

Maybe it's the fact that I get to be with my family again. 

Maybe it's because Malaysia holds so many things that are sooo familiar to me in so many ways. 

Maybe it's just as simple as.... "There's no place like home".

Time really flies. I've come and gone. Back to Melbourne, a place which I also call home. 

A place where my work is, and also some people who are dearest to me. 

Well, including Remy of course, although he doesn't technically fall into the "people" category. 

This trip home was definitely too short. It was more like a KL stopover. I barely got to catch up with anybody. Merely a brief get together that night, which was still heaps of fun, but didn't result in much genuine catching up as we went clubbing! 

But I promise, the next trip will be more quality, and quantity! :D 

@ KLIA with mommy dearest! Thank you heaps for the quality 10 days that I spent with you guys... 

It touches me that no matter how difficult it is, everyone will be on leave when I get back. So the family could really spend some time together. Dad even switches off his mobile so work doesn't contact him! 

And sis will always drive me around, despite knowing how terrible the traffic condition is in town, only because I wanted to buy some stuff from Pavilion. She'd stay up late so we could hang out at mamak, and eat our favourite fried la-la. Mommy will still buy me stuff even knowing that I'm working and is capable of paying for it myself, prepare yummy home cooked meals... and the list goes on...

With Funny, my dearest one and only sister! and of course, beloved Daddy! 

I am going to miss you guys heaps, and if there's one thing in the world that I want right now, it's the ability to transport you guys over... NOW!

So that we could be together, like how families are meant to be... together as one :)

A place that will always be close to heart... always, always. *You gotta mean it enough to say it twice*

I always think that it gets easier to leave as time goes by. That it will become almost second nature to say goodbye, to turn around and walk away. But the reality is vastly different. It always stabs my heart to have to wave bye and bid farewell to the ones I love. I always hug them tight, not knowing the next time I'll hold them in my arms again. 

People always say that things change, 

People change....

But that's not always true. 

Some things, do remain. Some things, are for ever. 

And every now and then, I'd like to refresh my memory, 

to remind myself, that the things and people I love, 

are still there, just as they always have been. 

Albeit far away, but always.... close to heart. 

ALWAYS. 

I *heart* all of you heaps, you know who you are! And I will not wait until tomorrow to say it.
