Home. Again.

The grasses is always greener on the other side of the fence.

Sometimes, or if you must, most of the times I felt that way.
London makes me miss home so very much.
The contrast that existed around me makes me think of home most of the time.
I made plans to come home so that I can put my homesick to the end, which in most cases never happens.
Since 2006, I was travelling out of my hometown to the foreign places for study.
So far, I've been in three places, two states in a country and two countries of two different continent.
Every time the experience is different. Sometimes it was the different kinda experience and feeling to be at and feel.
The love you found is distinct and the hate you encounter makes the world is just the same, cruel.

You must understands that when I was in Tawau, I was not able to discover that world because I was so insecure and living under my own roof. Foreign places are just so... foreign. Yet, Tawau until today is always the place that I feel new. Place to discover. Before I was 'old' enough, I was away to be in a new foreign place. I am a tourist in my own hometown.

KL is always close to my heart because I basically became a man (hardly I know) that my 17 years old wanna be. Exploring the narrow road (literally of course) and the big blue sea (again, literal speaking). They are my fears and  my insecurities.
It somehow prepares me for London, the big blue sea (more of a big white city) with vicious sharks yet with a great opportunity surrounds it.
Again, KL calls me a tourist.
I hope I will be coming back here often. This small city makes me feel big at times whenever I'm back from London.

Soon I will be back in the land of the Queen.
For now, the grass from LCCT is greener but its a painful 12 hours mowing journey. urgh.
I just wish that scientist put more effort on inventing portal door to transport in a blink of an eye.
There will be no waiting around or more not spend.

Oh Jesus, please take the wheel, or just keep my will to travel please.
