It has been a while.
A few months already since I came back to Malaysia. Time really flies. It feels like only yesterday I was still in Perth, packing things, trying to settle everything before leaving and now I am already back in Malaysia.
A lot of things have happened since then. My things have arrived. I have my house. I have my car. Slowly, life is starting to feel a bit more settled again. Technically, I think most of the things are already in place for me to start my life here again.
But then again, life is never really that simple. There is always something else to try. Recently, I tried for another opportunity to continue my studies. I started preparing quite early this time and I think that was already a good thing for me. At least I had enough time to prepare myself and think about what I wanted to say.
But after the interview, honestly, I didn’t really feel that this would be my time. Maybe I was wrong. Maybe I was right. I don’t know. But this time, I am okay with it.
I think I learned something from the experience. Not everything we try will happen immediately and maybe that is okay too. I still want to continue studying, and I am still looking for the opportunity to do so. I guess I just need to keep trying.
Work has also been quite interesting since I came back. Things move quite fast and I think I need to run a little faster too. There are many new things to learn, many things to understand and sometimes I feel like I am trying to catch up with everything at the same time.
But things are good. I have a good boss who is very much into teaching and guiding. I really appreciate that because there are so many things that I don’t know yet. So, I am trying my best to keep up and learn as much as I can.
I think being open is important. Open to new experiences. Open to learning new things. Open to new skills and knowledge. After being in Perth for almost two years, coming back here is another kind of learning experience. Different place, different people, different work environment and different expectations.
And I guess that is what keeps things interesting.
I also miss home. Funny, right? I am already back in Malaysia but I haven’t really had much time to go back to Kedah. Since coming back, there have always been things to settle and work has been moving quite quickly. Hopefully next week I can finally make the journey back.
I want to see my mom and dad. I want to see my family. I just want to be there for a while.
Sometimes, you don’t really realise how much you miss home until you haven’t been there for a while.
So, here I am. Back in Malaysia. Still trying to figure things out. Still learning. Still looking for the next opportunity. But this time, I think I am a little more relaxed about where things are going.
Maybe I don’t need to have everything figured out just yet.
Settling in, again.
PS: Kedah, I am coming home. Yeeha! 😆
