Time… A Month’s Time
TIME is a yardstick for us to measure the course of events that has happened. It might be sheer pride but I would say that by looking back at what has happened every now and then, the past month would be one that has stark differences to what I have encountered of the recent years.
It has been almost a month since I have boarded the plane that brought me back to the shores of Malaysia. A month living out of my suitcase was finally ended when I received my sent belongings shipped by sea-mail on Saturday. As I look at the boxes, I was overwhelmed by countless thoughts and immeasurable feelings that has been in my heart for the whole week since my birthday.
As I went for my pedicure, I look upon the scars that were on my feet from wearing my "geta" as I went for the "Chiba New Town matsuri" at with Masako and Mark Tatarada-park with Masako. That was the same day the postman collected my stuff from the Women’s Dorm.
After my birthday, I knew that the entire TCU community will be off for Campus Retreat the Wednesday after as that was the "tradition" and practice of my four years there. Thus, as I was standing in the trains to get myself to the company on my first day of work, I had thoughts in my head at the exact time my professors and friends meet and start their journey to Karuizawa. As I sit at my desk, I kept thinking about what is going on over there in Megumi-chalet, the place I went for my first campus retreat ever. (Sniff!)
One month… one month… There is so much I miss and even more for me to get used to being back and starting a new chapter of my life. This is one small and weak bunny. I have to admit that there are times which I tell myself that it is too much for me to cope and wish to go back to the familiarity and comfort of my university days. However, I know I have to strive on and succeed. I do this not only for myself, but in honor and responsibility to all of those out there who has given me so much, care, and worry for me. I press on in hope that everything will work out for the best. It is not easy, but I find strength in LOVE and the prayers of my loved ones.
