Sometimes I feel like I'm spread too thin... like I'm living in three different time zones. My parents are in Malaysia, John is in NZ and I'm here in Australia.
Where do I see myself in the next few years?
The truth is I'm not sure. At this point, I am just waiting for John to join me. We plan to try out working in Melbourne for at least a year. Whether we will remain in Melbourne after that or go back to KL is undecided.
Do I want to return to Malaysia?
Yes and no.
Yes, because I miss my parents. Family is the main factor that draws me back to KL. The second factor might be career prospects.
No, because KL feels almost alien to me. It's weird how I am so much more familiar with Melbourne than with KL. John is not too keen to go back because of the crime rate and political situation. I can deal with the political situation being what it is... but I would be lying if I said I'm unperturbed by the crime rate.
I guess things will become clearer nearer the time.

sigh, it's quarter life crisis... it's hitting all of us =(
Hmm.. it's sad to hear that your plans on coming back are no longer a solid plan.
About crime rates, isn't it the same just about anywhere?
Andrew: Yeah.. quarter life crisis... that must be it. :(
PK: I guess things will be more certain next year once John joins me.
I feel safer when walking around Melbourne than I do in KL. Always have.
I have to agree with you on that. I did feel safer in Melb too.
Just gotta watch 'em racist ppl.
Yeah. And preferably avoid the drunks and the druggies.
Hey Deb! I still drop by your blog from time to time! :) I just wanna let you know, that I know EXACTLY how you feel. Ever since I was 16, I never stayed in one place for long. Even till this day I feel like a gypsy and I long to finally settle down in one place and not feel so torn apart as to where the "ideal" place to settle down is. But for now, obviously i'll be going to the US to be with Derek. But even the both of us do not really know if we want to stay there forever, raise a family etc. And i'm so scared that we'll never find that one place we can finally call home and not feel so torn apart from being away from family and friends and all that. So just go with the flow, and just allow life to take you to where it thinks you and John should be :) Good luck, babe!
Thanks Rakhers. :) Glad to know I'm not alone. I think we are very blessed that we have a few countries to call home. There is no Utopia but what we do have is the freedom to choose to live where we feel happiest. :) I hope we all find that place where we're happiest.
