How do you like it here?

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.
