HAS IT BEEN SO LONG?
I guess it has.
Funny thing about time.
I easily lose track.
Funny thing about life.
Things which seemed important can fade like the memory of a nightmare.
Things which seemed secure can crumble like the Roman Empire.
What was once thought to be permanent is now hardly memorable.
Thing about a foreign country. It can become home.
Things you thought you knew pretty well, like your own language, can become pretty foreign.
I always thought I spoke English well *tanpa ada maksud nyombong*.
Now I know there are so many ways to speak it that I will spend the rest of my life learning it.
Didn't it seem like it would take forever to graduate from high school (or Junior highschool I must say? hehehe) ?
To study hard-out during exams?
To learn how to drive?
Now college is a distant memory.
I can't believe all the things I should know but have forgotten.
To have acne, going to proms and finally graduate.. whoaa.. that's something I never saw coming.
Auckland... one of the greatest cities.
It is home.
It took me ages to learn my way around town.
I can't imagine how many things for me to find there.
And ofcourse, there's that weird language again.
Funny accent with funny vocabs..
Funny food like capsicum and sprouts.
Today, exactly two years ago I left that small town.
maap kalo gw agak melankoli hari ini (emang kebanyakan melankolinye kali yee)...
At this very hour, two years ago I was having my late breakfast
... at New Lynn Petal Cafe with Jo and Marcella,
having my last ciggie on that green land,
having my last real bacon and egg,
having my last raspberry vodca cruiser.
... then I gave my last package of weeds to Jo.
Hehehe... can still remember her facial-expression.
The naughty me. She was speechless.
Tepat 2 taon yang lalu.
I hugged them good bye.
Eka, Gia, Mathew, Stephen, Tamara, Uday, Ella, Adi and Jo.
I've changed a lot eh?
There are many lives for me to catch up on.
So much to read.
I'll keep up and catch up as much as I can.
....... till we meet again.
