It has been a year since the last time I went back home. Today, I'll be leaving for Malaysia for the second time before my studies ends next year insyaAllah. It feels weird though to come home this year. I don't know what to expect this time around even though my diary is already filled with gatherings and stuff to attend. Life takes turns in funny ways sometimes. You always find yourself in unexpected circumstances where you never imagine you could be. And life, give us lesson either you like it or not, either you realize it or not. Some stuff should be left buried deep in the land of unknown. But some stuff, you'll bring six feet under. And some stuff, you want to keep in your mind and heart forever. Nevertheless, whatever decision you made, yesterdays play their roles to color the canvas of tomorrows.

My, my. How these years changed me. It has been three years in this foreign land and hopefully, another year to complete this one tiny responsibility. My, my. How a year changes me. It has been a year since I changed my eyes and hopefully, I have my whole life to grant for this one huge responsibility.

Leaving this place, even for a moment, seems bizarre. I learn mighty lots from this place. That is why I believe that sometimes it is good to be out of circle for a moment and ponders about the reason of you being in it. Most of the time, we always said that we are not influenced by other people. But the statement is an irony that we barely realize it is. Even it's only for a few months, I surely, positively will miss my best friends whom I met in this far-off land. Who cares what our background or histories are like when we know we've tramped trough the darkest forest and swam to an isolated island. Exaggerating? Oh, whatever. For me, it feels that way. But wait, I bet, the adventures are just warming up. Dear my dear, I'm already missing you girls! Be good, or I'll make you sit on the naughty bench! Oh, I'm gonna miss the moments together. Hugs!

Well, it's about time. If, the best thing to happen is for our path to cross, it will, no matter how convoluted I've made my ways. If, the best thing to happen is for our path to be so distance to each other, I hope it is always parallel towards one same direction. I hope life treats you kind. And I hope you have all you dreamed off. And I wish to you joy and happiness. But above all this I wish to you love.

Home, I shall return once more. Home, is where it starts and ends. Home, is where my family awaits me. Home, is where my best friends are counting the days to meet.

Home, home sweet home.
