Dear diary, it's almost 4pm in the evening and I haven't even take my bath yet. Geezzz..I fell asleep after performing the Subuh prayer. I guess it's because I slept quite late last night. Me, mum and Syahmi went to the hospital in Kajang visiting my brother who was admitted there after an operation. The room is exclusive as it's a private hospital. It's nice. After that we went to a restaurant we usually went to for some meal. I just took a hot horlick and oh dear..it's way toooo sweettt. By the time we almost finished our meal, I saw a friend from primary school, Salmi Suhana who was also my classmate during standard six, with her two little sisters. It's wonderful knowing that some of my old friends are still staying here in Bangi. She told me about seeing our twin friends, Laila and Laily who (if I remember correctly) also still here in Bangi. It feels at home..yeah...it feels at home..:-)
The day before I went to FRIM to attend the work evaluation which also known as SKT (termed formally used for the government servant's work evaluation), I happened to get the chance meeting a good friend of mine, Apai. I was so happy receiving his text saying that he happened to be free that week. That time, since both of us haven't took our lunch yet, we decided to meet up and up-date our story. Apai took me to the restaurant near my place. A restaurant we went to after attending for a job interview at my previous work place. I remember sharing with him my private stories after attending the interview. Story which happened during our struggles earning the Bachelor Degree at UKM and I was only able to tell him by the time we already work for our second degree. Thanks Apai, you really are a good friend..:-).
I am grateful to Him for fulfilling my prayer of wanting to pursue my study here in my beloved university. It's gonna be a new journey which I have already started. There are still puzzle pieces to be completed, yet I pray for the best. I asked a friend who is about to finish her study of her feelings about it. And she says..it still a process for her. Yeah..I really do get that. Baby steps dear..baby steps..:-). I took the time to meet my new friends and my new research team members. I am happy. It's interesting getting to know new people, new characters. It can be hard yet I hope this time, things will be better. I guess it's our way of adapting..isn't it?
I still keep in touch with friends from my previous work place. I am touched receiving a text from Kak Pah and Kak Sue and a phone call from Yasri. I miss them and grateful for getting to know them. Sometimes..we might not contact those people..anyone..we met in life..yet it doesn't mean they are forgotten. We might feel like we are being forgotten, maybe just maybe we should just be positive about it. It is something that I am myself trying to understand. Why is it that I feel so afraid (sometimes) to let people to reach out to me? Funny..I guess there are times when I just need to be with myself. Me and Him..just to understand and think things over..I guess..true friends will understand..:-)
I am moving on, step by step. I make time to text a friend or maybe a phone call or meeting up. I make time for my beloved ones. I make time to do simple things I enjoy doing. I let go of the past and cherish good moments. I pray for the best from Him all the time. Simple good deeds does make a big difference. And yes..you right, Apai. Here in Bangi, there really is a feeling of being at home..:-)
