Coffee reflections: Chasing a dream.

Here I am, counting the last few days that I will be spending in Apartment 8-2-6.
It's a pretty chill Friday afternoon. My balcony which overlooks trees and sky rise buildings, is softly pelted with rain.

I'm sitting in front of my laptop with my warm cup of coffee and cake, Secret Recipe leftover from my lunch date with girls I'd known for 17 years.

It feels surreal that I am leaving again.
Somehow, a part of me is not surprised.
Why? Is medicine that bad here? Common questions I get.

To be honest, I always knew that I am the sort of woman who thinks of life as a literal journey. I can't imagine myself staying rooted in one place. That is not a bad thing either. Every great big trees started off as a seedling that stayed its ground for many many years. I suppose I never was a tree sort-of-person. I am more water. If it stays stagnant for too long, it gets murky.

To be honest I'm not sure what life has in store for me.
I had left the warm seat at home to venture into something unconventional.
Am I nervous? Sometimes in a fleeting moment, of course I do.
But my solace is in the fact that I've followed what is most instinctual for me, and at least, I shall have peace with myself for that.

Steps into words!

Hello there,

I haven't written in years!

I used to write a lot. Thoughts, funny things, revelations, random everyday shenanigans. I guess after that emotional dip in my life, that passion took a backseat and life just got busy thereafter. Little did I know God gave me darkness so I can see the candle in the dark.

And that candle... is my passion for travelling (haha sayang if you're reading this, you must have thought that I'm talking about you. Okaylaaa u candle oso ok? but less exotic type la like the 6-in-1 black box type people use during blackouts).

So the reason I'm writing back again is because a few people have been asking me about my travels. I always take pleasure in telling them the details so I might as well have a platform where I can just direct them to.

Also because I will be heading back to the UK soon, and will be having a long-distance relationship with the hubby, I foresee 8 months of loneliness and talking to myself (which essentially is what blogging is all about, right?)  :D 

So I hope you will find enjoyable things to read here, and I hope I will inspire you to do (or not do) certain things in your life/ travels.

Much love,

shakiralala.
