Punch Me
It’s time to look back at my journey in London. It was a semi-wonderful year, but I guess I learnt something. My state of mind - kinda peaceful regardless of toughness doing the proposal - but also miss my life back in London. Two approach - what I miss and what I appreciate of both life in UK and Malaysia
.
I appreciate…
.
… the weather. It is raining outside but I can bear with just one shirt. I can walk around my house shirtless during the day and sleep without blanket. I can just sleep on the couch inside my sister house. I can eat ice-cream whenever I want. These are the things I always miss when I was in UK. And I want to appreciate it while I’m in Malaysia as long as I live here. It might be hot once a while but it’s better than freezing in UK. I love the fact that I can just stand by the dock in Tanjung Dawai, watching the sunset and be there for hours (x buat lagi pun, ari tu setengah jam jer). I don’t mind if my hand get stripes due to sunburn. I love the weather here. You never miss it until it’s gone. It had been gone for me for a while and I love it now.
.
I miss…
… me being independent. Living in London was a big step for me. I was this boy who depend a lot on my parents, spending more than I should and get things the easy way. London taught me a pretty hard life. It was hard and I probably hated it when I was there at first. But now I kinda miss me handling my life on my own. Cycling through the unsure temperature to West Drayton town from my university, getting some food from Yiewsley Tesco or fried chicken from halal restaurant. It is always good waking up in the morning knowing that mom will prepare my breakfast (tapi skang mak abah tengah posa enam, so… takleh la nak mintak bukan2), but to know that I had the capability of handling myself made me realize that I kinda miss of that. I’m so ‘human’. Missing what I can’t get and moaning when I am living the hardlife.

Punch me!

[Picture: kat Dundee ~ the contents of these boats ships are yours too, because i have returned]
“Punch me!”
Cut me, I’m bleed.
Teringat kata2 Peter Parker kepada M.J dalam Spiderman 2.
err pembetulan, kata2nya adalah,
“punch me, I bleed”
Mak abah aje ke yang posa 6? Yang empunya diri dah posa 6 ke?
