So I finally decided to start a blog as a good excuse to pretend like I'm working on something when I have nothing better to do in the office.. Yes, I am in the office. The working hours of my new firm requires me to work half day on Saturdays, at least until the end of probation. To date, it's been almost 2 months since I started working in my new firm back in my hometown of JB.. 2 months since I left my life in KL along with all the people I've known and things that I love.. and 2 months of just counting every single day to when I can get back to KL again. It might seem a bit like an overreaction.. after all, how bad can my hometown be. But truth be told and unfortunately so that when I left it almost 8 years ago, I burnt down a number of bridges behind me. So now, I start from scratch.. learning to adapt to not just for the most part, being on my own but adapt to the different social scene and lifestyle as well. Undoubtedly, it gets very lonely at times but in my situation or at least for the time being, I have no choice but to persevere. It took 2 months but slowly, I wiped all my tears away and I stopped crying and feeling bad for myself about being in such a miserable lonely state long enough to realize that life is what you make of it no matter where you are and that there is always fun and good things to be had if you just take the time to look a little closer for it. This is my new mission.. to rediscover my hometown, to find out what makes it tick and to hopefully find contentment in being back home in that process.
