1 year in UK

27April 2009 marks one year since I have left Malaysia. What have I gained in that 1 year I am here? Let's see. I learnt how to be more independent, do house chores and keeping the house clean, some customer service skills and I found someone as well though I lost another one.

All in all, I gained quite a lot. Some life experiences that I didn't think will come true. Happy times, sad times, painful times. I must say, its worth it. I like being in the UK. I know I can't stay here long. But at least I got a taste of it, of living abroad on my own, earning money to sustain myself and taking care of myself. Somehow this experience made me appreciate money more and to be thrifty. I am still quite a big spender but I think twice or maybe thrice before I spend my money.

I'm not sure how long more I am gonna stay in the UK or when I am going back to Malaysia as I have some other plans going on as well. A plan that I must see through and that must materialize.

Keeping my fingers crossed and praying hard that it will!!!

Missing my parents...

Its been a month now that parents has gone back to Malaysia. How time flies when you are enjoying yourself. Looking back at the past 2.5months, it has been very happy indeed and well spent. Having not seen my parents for the past 1 year, I just realised how much they mean to me and how much I miss them. Being able to bring them to Europe is like a dream come true for me. But of course, I need to thank Chee Fai for helping me out.If without him, I wouldn't be able to support 3 of us for the whole trip.

Being away from them for a whole year, I noticed they have both aged. They have grown older and gets tired easily. I was so worried that any of them would get sick but luckily they are very strong. Only some knee problem from my dadddy. Other than that, they are really strong like bulls! Even better than me. Aiksss.... I am getting older myself! :P

When it was time for them to go, I felt so lost. When mummy and daddy were here, they would take care of me and Amanda, making sure we are well fed. Mummy cooked for us everyday. I really miss her cooking now. And I miss their nagging.

Mummy and I cried at the check-in gate. I am gonna miss them so much. Daddy looked back a few times and I kept waving to them. Till I can't see them anymore. I felt so lost again. I already miss them. So so much. When I got back home, the feeling of emptiness was even greater. The house is so quiet without their laughter and chatter. I just cried myself to sleep that night.

I wonder, will I get the chance to bring them to Europe again? I am keeping my fingers crossed that they would be able to enjoy their life now after slavering most of their life for us. As children, my siblings and myself has been trying to give them a better life. Its the most we can do to repay back all that they have done for us.

I love u, Mummy and Daddy. I miss you all lots!
