Was it worth it?
24 April 2006I’m leaving again. I’ll be moving back home at the end of next week, unlike the last time, this move is permanent. The only time I’ll be in KL after this will be the occasional visits, the convocation in late May and maybe sorting out visa and travelling issues. And this sucks, big time.
I go through the days as if there is no difference, but when I sit down later in the night (like now), I think and I count the number of days left… and I wonder what happens after this. Somehow… that will lead to many deep reflections that I cannot seem to present in words.
These 3 months in KL are a little different from the 30 months I had before and this is mostly because most of my close friends have left for PMS or are in their hometowns. Because of the same reasons, 3 friends who were not really close were put together. I mean, we have always been friends, we could sit down and have a decent conversation, but we never really hung out in the same group. Sometimes I wonder if I regret spending (some will say wasting) my time in KL when I can do something else instead, then I think to myself… “No, I don’t, if not for these 3 months I would not have gotten to know the 2 girls so much better.” And if there was a way to measure friendship and gauge it’s worth, then I’ll say it’s worth spending the few months in KL.
Then of course, there was the experience I gained from the research lab, and the many things I learnt. There was also the stint in SAD, putting in that little bit of work for my own alumni association.
Yeah, I think it was all worth it.
