This is the question, voted to be the No. 1 FAQ that I have to face on a daily basis in the UK. And answer? It depends really, who is asking it. To the locals, it's usually, ooh, it's fine, I finally got used to the weather, or some other polite version answers. To fellow Malaysians, usually is, not too bad, I'm quite used to it now. But would I stay here for longer than I intended to? I do have an absolute answer to it, No, I don't think so. Apart from my bond, I guess, it's also to do with me leaving behind my life plans when I come here. Those are the things that I would really liked to do.
One of my fellow batchmate gave me her blog link recently. And wow, she really does express herself very well, perhaps a little too well. But hey, many of the things that she faces, happens to me as well, just not as severe? or at least I didn't think so. At least I didn't really get insensitive racial comments, or I'm too insensitive to realise; I didn't have to work on 2 assignments on 1 time (errmm, not true, at 1 point I have 4?); or miss home dearly? It's not that bad, I think I miss the food even more, I talk to my mum every week, but I've not had the fish head noodles for >9 months now.
Someone told me, that he couldn't come, because he can't just leave his family behind (and he's single!) That make me felt selfish, cause I think I left more things behind, and I did not even hesitated long, but that, is another story, a story that I'm not ready to share with the whole wide world.
Nevertheless, this is a really great experience, not all good, but an experience that make me grow, and I don't regret it, at least not yet, maybe I will, when I'm honouring my bond.

Do I seem like I have it all?
Well, from the surface, I do seem like I have it all, don't I?
A career with promising future, a steady relationship, a good relationship with my family, just bought a future home with my fiancee, a not bad financial background, have few good friends, ... ooh, and I even picked up driving (finally!) last year. And not to mention all the travelling I've done, my exquisite taste in food and etc. Well, when I was typing this, I really felt like I should not complain, but hey, according to the fortune teller (my dad), this is the best 10 years in my life, so, don't get jealous, you'll probably be better in your 'best 10 years'.
Do I really have it all? Well, people is greedy, that's one of the original sin (not that I believe in christianity, but Buddhism does talk about it as well), hence, it could always be better. Am I not happy with my life? Of course not, I've made my mum proud (that is really important to me) and I've achieved more than I thought I would, in many aspects (especially work)
So, what's the whole point of the post? I'm kinda lost really, I guess I'm trying to say, don't be pessimistic, because your best 10 years is coming soon too!

First entry - I named my blog wrongly!
Ahh... first blog entry, hope this passion would last a little longer than the one in friendster.
When i was creating the blog, i was prompted to think for a name for the blog, and because I created the blog unexpectedly, I has not really thought of the title of my blog before hand.
The only idea of... to talk about all things in life? so the words quest (sounds adventurous) and life came by, and I thought... I can talk about any think when it's my adventures in life, it could have been food (my biggest passion), career (do I have a lot to talk about it?), personal life (I hope I still have one), current events (criticising everyone else?), or event silly personality tests.
Most people would know that I'm horrible with prepositions, so I was like, hmm... how to put 'quest' and 'life' together, let's google and see which phrase is used, and I found a lot of quest for life, and therefore I used it. But wait, when I go into those pages, Ooops... quest for life is usually meant ... looking for aliens? gosh... that's bad.. but I'm too lazy to think of another name... nevermind, let's hope others doesn't mind (well, assuming there's a reader somewhere somehow)
