Three days ago, I was officially in the United Kingdom for 731days which also means that I have left home for the same amount of time. Having stayed here for that long, it is long enough till I dont actually desperate for the foods in Malaysia anymore. In other words, the crave for it has faded and that tongue of mine are used to the taste of english foods. So you people out there wont be able to tempt me with those foods anymore!!!
Thinking back of two years ago when I just arrived in the UK, I was just a small size skinny boy. Today, I still look that skinny and I wonder what can I do to make myself look bigger? Now, what have I achieved so far? I don't know. Perhaps a bachelor degree? Is a bachelor degree good enough? May be. But there are Masters and PhD students almost everywhere in the UK. Why am I staying here? Questions like that keep on popping into my mind and it never ends. It seems like living a simple life is a hard thing to do especially in a complicated environment. I tend to feel that I am a little bit lost when I think of what am I going to do in 5 years time.
There was once a Chinese Nobel prize winner gave a speech during a tv show, "If you know What You Are Doing and What You Are Going To Do, then 99% you'll be a successful person. Okay, so I am doing what most of every other graduates do, getting a job but still I am not sure what am I going to do in the near future. Whatever it is, I feel like going home for the time being.
