uk?

in case any of u dont know, IF i manage to pass all my exams, i'll be leaving for UK in sept.

however, my term will end in may, so i'll be leaving kl for kuching in may.
this means that i'll be parting with all the friends that i've met here (excluding my classmates coz we'll all be going to oxford brookes for our final year), in less than 2 months time.

a question that i've been getting alot is "arent u excited to go?"

honestly, the answer is : not really.

i mean hey, its not like this is the 1st time im gonna be away from home.
it'll just be the same thing all over again. except maybe for the accent, skin colour and food.
i, like many kuchingnites away from home have gotten accustomed to not being able to eat the food i love, such as kolo mee or sarawak laksa. so uk to me will be the same except that this time, indomee, nasi lemak and ramly burgers will also be cut from the list.

but maybe its because the whole move still seems distant. maybe its part of my subconscious preventing myself from disappointment in case i fail any subjects and have to repeat them here.

i used to view going overseas to study as such a big deal. now i view it as just another step in life. just something that is in the order of things.

which leads me to ponder how mapped out our lives are. the sequence for me had always been kindy, primary school, secondary, college, university overseas, then work.

i never even considered stopping anywhere in between to start work 1st. it was like i could only work after i had gotten a degree. there was no other option.

but thats soo untrue, there are plenty of options. and when i meet ppl who had the choice of whether to continue their studies or to work, and they chose to work, i respect that. because i feel that they have made the braver choice. they took a risk, while im staying on the well-worn track.
