longing...

Finished the first part of my essay today and i've got another one to finish. At this moment i was just thinking of home and what/how everyone is doing back home. Can't wait to get back at the end of the year, this is the longest i've been away from family and friends. So much must have changed that i might be too afriad to step out into an unfamiliar world. Like a soldier coming home after the war, things look different, feels different. But one thing's for sure is that the food should still be awesome as ever. Asian food here in Melbourne doesn't stand up to the authenticity of quality food in hawker stalls beside the drain back home. I miss Steven Corner's roti bakar and lamb with mint sauce and maggi goreng with fried sotong. *imagine* ooooo slurp *imagine*

Homesickness has never hit me so hard before, guess it's about time for me to call home again. Missing a familiar face... There's a phrase in Rick Warren's book that spoke to me... God has a purpose behind every problem. Growth is often painful n scary. There is no growth without change; there is no change without fear or loss; and there is no loss without pain. Sometimes you must let go of the old ways in order to experience the new. Just be still and trust in God. No matter what's the expectations or wonder of how things would turn out later, God remains true. He never changes, he is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow but we do.
