Mumblings

I don't know why I feel so gloomy today... well, I sort of know the reason for it but I don't know why it's affecting me so much. I find it hard to focus on what I'm doing. My mind starts to wander off and dream of living elsewhere. What with all the things that are happening in this country.

Maybe I should check out those new homes in Virginia , the kind of home that fronts a lake in a nice 2,300 acre countryside. Something to escape the hustle and bustle of the hectic city life. One with loads of activities to keep me busy. Most importantly something with a lush canopy of trees and woodland vegetation for some quiet peace of mind.

But then again I'd be missing my family so much, my friends even my country. It may not be perfect but still I want to remain here till I'm old and grey. As the Malay saying goes... Hujan emas di negeri orang, hujan batu di negeri sendiri, lebih baik di negeri sendiri. (Translated as: Although there maybe lots of opportunities overseas, it's better not to be far away from loved ones in his/her own country despite the hardship and difficulties).

And besides, I'd be missing all the great food like the glorious Nasi Lemak, the crispy hot Roti Canai, the aromatic smell of Fried Kway Teow! Oh man, now I'm getting all hungry.
