I miss UK

Reading from other people’s blog about UK, I feel a pang of sadness. I miss that place. Sure there were ups and downs when I was there, but overall, it was great. I felt free. Liberated. I felt comfortable there. No pressure, no cultural taboos, nobody judges u for what u do, what u wear, your choice in life.

I wish I never came home. I wished I looked for a job there. Tak kisah lah kerja macam mana pun. I wished at least I tried. Not many people I know stayed back to work, cos jobs were scarce back then. But at least I could say to myself that I tried.

I wonder how different my life would have been if I stayed. What would I be doing right now? Would I be happy? Would I be married?

There were many points in my life where I had to make a choice. Choices where the course of my life could have been different. I’ve always wondered what my life would have been like if I had chosen other than the choices that I had taken to where I am now.

I wonder…….

Rostam: I really don't know if the choice that I've made was the best. I could have missed an even bigger opportunity if I had stayed on. Nevertheless, all things happen for a reason.

mrs reader: I went to Nottingham Uni and Oundle School for my A-Levels. What an experience they both were...

lin, I'm sure you made the better choice. besides, it's in the past and we can't dwell too much about things we should have done. furthermore, would you have met your hubby had you stayed there? surely he is one reason enough to come home. unless of course both of you were there and etc. etc. etc.
