raindrops from the corner of my eyes

I hope I had been there when my friends really needed me. I think today is an emo day for most. Somehow tears has been the main feature for today. Sometimes I see how circumstances force my friends to a corner and I am always thankful for what I have. I only have monetary and academic worries. And I feel for my friends who pour their hearts to me today. I only wished I can help them solve their problems.

And while walking home, I was reminded of the fact that 1 month away from now, I will be in a far away land without my family. The truth? I am fucking worried. I remembered a funny moment last saturday shared with my parents and suddenly my heart plunged when I realised that I probably won’t have this moment with them till next year. It is funny how I was laughing and basking in that funny moment while feeling nostagic at the same time. I am not sure whether my eyes will be dry in 1 mth’s time at the airport. I hope I will still have tears left by then. I pity the passenger next to me on the airplane. I hope he/she is in the mood for wet weather.

Sigh, back to work. 3 more weeks and i shall be free as a bird.

    i can empathize with how you are feeling now. at least, it will only be a few months. for me, it was for five years, although i have gone back thrice in my four years here. but i was lucky to have my wife following me to the states.

    do you have someone travelling with you at that time? it will be better to have someone next to you. perhaps your boss could leave with you?

    people have said when you in a new place, you will undergo a few stages. the first stage is honeymoon stage where everything seems so curiously exciting to you. the second stage will be homesickness, and hopefully when that starts to kick in, you will be at the end of internship.

    ok. so much for now. hopefully the youtube videos below will cheer you up a bit for the time being.
