Last sunday is a day i'll be remembering all my life. It's been long since Ayah hugged me like that, it's been long since mama said 'i love you' to me, it's been long since kak aja kissed me on the cheek, and it's been long since my bothers hugged me that way. I'm on my own now. KL is like a big new planet im on. everything felt new and different and noisy and fast-moving; everyone is moving around so quickly, i feel like vomiting in the crowd. But when i looked out the window from my apartment, i still feel that small and tiny, but from that view, all those tall buildings and everything in the city are no bigger than my hand...i still feel as small, but looking from that view, all the courage in me stood out and i realized that as long as i have this concrete faith in me, i can do this, i can make it through it all; no matter what planet i'm on, i'm going to make it, and i'm going to do it my way. Because i have parents back home who deserve to be proud of me, i have brothers whom i need to aspire, and i have got 'him' waiting to share everything with me. Standing there by the window, i told myself, "i came here for them, i'll do this for them, so i'll return bringing something precious for all of them".
