A year ago today ...
I flew off and headed to Montreal to start a new chapter which ended in January this year. A chapter of my life I would never forget. One with lots of lessons learnt. Occassionally, I do think back of the times I had in Montreal. I do miss them sometimes. The times where I had a lot of ME-time, having nothing much to do, nothing much to worry. Having time to cook, making my meals look good, walking along the streets and just observing and not thinking about anything really, except, the people back here. And now... when i'm back here, i'm thinking about the times over there.
But yea.. it's been a year and I can say, I'm happy here. Despite the busy life, I am enjoying it, I like it here. This is home indeed :) And here's just a memory of this very day, a year ago today.
I still remembered last year at this time of the year, I was saying my goodbyes. I went to uni in the morning one last time to say my goodbyes, to see the faces of all the wonderful people that I would miss so much. It was the hardest thing to do, that's what I remembered. The UMSA stall was open for the ball, and so, that was the spot where I met up with all the people. And I even remembered, we took some photos too. After saying all the goodbyes, I took a walk to domain as my car was parked there. At the same time, I was texting, reading all the goodbye messages and replying to them. My steps were small and rather slow, as I hoped time would slow down a little. As I got home, I went on MSN one last time, to say even more goodbye. I just didn't want to leave I guess. In the evening, it was time to pack up and head to the airport. Was kinda rushing and I forgotten my pillow. Was rather sad in the car coz I can't sleep without my pillow. To top it up, text messages were still coming in. I didn't want it to end, I didn't want to end my text2000. Got to the airport and the lady said my flight was delayed. I was so happy. It meant more time here. So I went home and grabbed my pillow and then went to McDs. I remembered I had nuggets and strawberry milkshake. And I also remembered I texted Vanessa to tell her that. Because my milkshake was pink. I remembered the rest of the UMSA committee were busy preparing for the ball at that time. They were doing their skit practice and deco. I remembered swan had her last test on that day too. At the airport,I remembered hugging mum and dad one last time. I remembered waiting in the boarding area, texting to the very last bit. And at the end, I swapped my plan back to motormouth.
And then.. I boarded the plane. That...was the saddest part. I thought of everyone. Everyone that I will miss. As the plane took off, I so wanted to stop it. I so wanted to turn back. It suddenly hit me of what I have gotten myself into. I was afraid. But...there was no turning back. I closed my eyes and slept it through. All the thoughts and feelings.. were all left behind.
And now.. today, after a year, I'm glad I didn't turn back. Things did not really change much, feelings remained. I'm glad I completed that chapter of my life. A great one indeed, to be cherished and remembered forever.
