This I Miss

I miss being able to just go out and do things whenever I wanted.
I miss JB!
I miss Danga Bay, where we spent late nights walking, talking, laughing our asses off, eating, studying (believe it or not) for exams.
I miss the little coffee place I used to frequent. They had the best chocolate danish.
I miss having Subway just 5 minutes away!
I miss being able to record my audio without having ambulance sirens in the background.
I miss my little tin can that consumed so little petrol compared to my lady in black now who sucks up a third of my allowance, sometimes more, every month.
I miss the malls! And the cinemas oh my goodness. I could just book a ticket online and be at the cinema half an hour later with my popcorn or pint of ice-cream. Yes pint.
I miss taking long drives at night into town, around town.
I miss having the energy to be out the whole night and still be wide awake in class the next day without any sleep.
Everything has changed :(
Now if I don't get 8 hours of sleep a night I feel like a walking zombie at the hospital the next day.
I can't be at the cinema in record time like I used to be. Now the closest one is GSC in Malacca and I hate GSC but that's the best option. The only option -.-
If I want Subway I have to drive an hour into Malacca to get it.
The mall here is so tiny. It's not even a mall I think. Just a building with shops. 5 shops selling shoes alone but nothing's nice.
I miss service there. Worship service especially. Church was small but everyone was so pleasant. Everyone was like family. Here it's nowhere near that. And I can't seem to find a proper church that has an English service any time other than Sunday morning >:(
I miss my old place, too. All the cooking we did. All the movies we watched. All the time I spent getting used to staying alone and actually loving it.
I really, really miss it.

Table Topics: Judgement & Understanding

Took one of my classmates out today coz she needed to get some things. She's been through a lot. Nothing I will disclose here but we had a pretty long chat in the car once we got back. And it's really true what they say about never judging someone before getting to know them. She opened up to me about everything that was going on. How she felt about things. How she was dealing with things. And at the end of the day it all boils down to understanding. There's a reason behind the things people do. It's simply a matter of accepting that reason and understanding them for it and them helping them get through it. You hear stories about married couples going through a divorce. It's really not an option anyone should think about after marriage. After all it's for better or for worse, right? But what if sometimes it becomes too much to bear? What if sometimes things get impossible to handle? What if that's the reason divorces happen in the first plac

To Date.

I've recently been nominated for the Liebster Blog Award thanks to a friend of mine I've only known via Facebook for some years now. The blog post for that is still being drafted. I've been posed some pretty tricky questions /;) Haven't been blogging as frequently as I used to coz I didn't bring my laptop back home this time round. Didn't think I'd have much use for it. Things have been a little...crazy here to say the least. I'm actually twenty-one now. Though I must say, the word 'freedom' was never synonymous with this age. All I ever related to this milestone was responsibility. Funny. It's been such a rollercoaster ride of emotions. I could never completely describe it. I've been thinking about how I've celebrated my birthdays all these years. Two birthdays I celebrated away from home. My eighteenth, which was in the UK with Aunty M and Uncle T, and my twentieth, which was in Johor with my classmates and a once

Dubai

Dubai was actually a layover. Since I have friends there I decided to spend a few days with them before flying out to London.  I took Emirates to and from Dubai & the UK & it was great. The unlimited wine was a major plus :P Only spent about 3 days in Dubai so I saw only a few of the major must-see spots.  My friend picked me up from the airport & we went to her place first. It was about 20 minutes away. More depending on traffic. Roads are very broad and each side has 6 lanes with a minimum of 3 on average. You see a lot of SUVs there. There's a lot of American influence. The UAE doesn't have their own national car.  It felt a lot like being in KL at first. Only after a while I started taking in the difference. Plenty of skyscrapers everywhere. But unlike KL, buildings here are built much closer together. & there is a LOT of development going on, still.  After washing up at home, we headed out to the Burj. The entrance is within the Dubai Mal
