Leaving KL, again.
Tomorrow I will be leaving for Kuala Terengganu to begin my 1 year training for my job. My feelings have been a rollercoaster. It climbs up slowly whenever I think that being there would be alright, that I’d have the experience of living in a culture fairly different from what I am used to here in Kuala Lumpur. Also when I think I’d have a chance of being transferred to Kuala Lumpur, or at the thought of being able to live out of home again. Then the rollercoaster ride goes down, this time at accelerating speeds for god knows how long. Today, being my last day in KL, is one of those days. What more, my formal appeal for a transfer back to Kuala Lumpur has been rejected today.
Today is one of those days where I’d wish to turn back time to a year back. Again, I wish I had escaped to another country, as a university student, back to my comfort zone, with my friends as my safety net.
But tomorrow may be the first day of the rest of my life, just like a cheesy line of a B-grade Hollywood movie. To think that so many of my friends got to work where they wanted, either at first attempt or after an appeal, and me being so firmly placed into Kuala Terengganu; I wonder if fate played a part in this. But it is not for me to know that, or to know what is in store for me there. All I know is it will be a test for me, a spoilt urbanite, to live in a culturally different environment for a year (or four). I guess my ability to adapt will be the litmus test of whether I really am an adult. For I presume that life would be full of such changes, and I guess for me, the only difference is that I am getting some sort of a headstart before the others.
I can’t think of much else to write, for this is all that is on my mind right now. Till next time, where I would be writing from KT.
NO!!!!!!!!!!! come back come back!!!
*hugs* dont worry. I’m sure you’ll be fine in KT. Hoping to see you working in KL after a year!
Take care!
