After my bday and CNY, tons of memories keep flowing through my mind.
I begin to recall the time before I stepped foot on this foreign land. I remember the days after my SPM, probably the most dynamic part of my life. Within 2 years I have gone to KTJ, National Service, Inti, Taylors, and finally UBC. So many different people have I met, so many things have I encountered. I recollect the time when I was uncertain about my future education and the suffering yet worth remembering 1.5 months of training in an isolated camp far from the familiar place I am used to be. I think about the sweet time in Taylors, when I fully enjoyed your company.
I look back at the days of my secondary school, when I had numerous funs with old buddies, and our first meeting 4 years ago, when we began as friends. I reminisce my childhood, my elementary school, my hometown, my home and family. These memories seem clear in my mind. I can almost remember every significant event happening every year as early as 3 years old. Time really does pass at a tremendous pace. I am already 20 this year.
There is no doubt now that I really miss home. I cannot deny that I do feel lucky for being able to study in this terrific place in Canada. Everything is prefect here, except that it lacks the feeling of home and love which one needs at times of hardship. I miss almost everything back home, the people, undeniably the food, my family, my room, my own bed, the CNY atmosphere and nice holidays. I miss you.
Love in a relationship is somewhat an addiction. I do not lose your precious love once I boarded the plane but I am unable to get the most of your company and care. I have been through some of the worst times in my life here in UBC. There are some concerns and feelings that I would never have worried before this. Nonetheless these will not trouble me as long as you are mentally by my side. I miss your comforting hug, your voice and your smile that will bring the joy out of my heart.
There are 93 days remaining before I finally finish my long waiting here to go home. By then I can spend 4 months to fully appreciate everything back home. I can’t wait to see you back. I want to be with you. I know you have been waiting for my return, patiently. I know it is hard for you too without me for the last 5 months, but let’s just wait and pray for the best as our waiting will end soon. We have to be strong and firm for the next 4 years and for many years to come.
Your love will bring me home.
