I stood along the corridor, unable to take a step further. It was a couple of minutes past 6pm, right after my work shift is over.
It was raining heavily.
I looked to the sky and watched the rain clouds floated past high over me. The setting sun, on the further side of my vision, shined brightly still.
Another ten of minutes later, the rain stopped.
This, is my home. I can't imagine me myself being anywhere else.
This weather, this cities, this food, this roads, this people, this atmosphere, this rain.
Maybe i was just a frog under a coconut shell, for never having seen outside the boundaries of my own country Malaysia. But one thing i know, this is where i was born, where i grew up, and where i will die. Tanah tumpahnya darahku.
Perhaps this sudden sense of patriotism came about because soon, for the next couple of years or so, my feet will not touch this land more than a couple of weeks a year. Probably even much less.
I just received my offer letter from University of Dundee Medical School last week.
21st July, that's when a new chapter of my life starts. Leaving behind all things comfortable and familiar, i wasn't sure if i made the right choice not to go on with my switch to Seremban Clinical School. But decision's made, the path is chosen, and what's left is up to me myself to tread it.
Right now, it always felt like there's a clock somewhere ticking away my time left here. Seconds, minutes, hours, days closer to my departure. I know i'm not ready at all right now, if not for the months ahead for me to prepare i would have been a lost sheep when i get there. baa..
Still, much things to do, letters to type, arrangements to settle, decisions to make.
I just wish life isn't changing this fast.
Other note: am amazed that Veejay remembers me. haha. i know i was very quiet/shy/antisocial when i was in primary school, so i thought most people wouldn't have even known i existed.
but maybe that's another story for another day :)
