Growing pains.

I had breakfast this morning with this English friend of mine named Matt whom I haven't met since Operations Management exam (shoot!now i'm reminded again about my dreadful exams,..oh well!) and his soon to-be-wife Debbie at the 'hottest breakfast spot' in university,where else if it's not Rootes Restaurant having what else but the 99p 5 items breakfast.Did I mention he and Debbie are getting married soon?Yup,they're getting married very2 soon and the delightful thing is,I am invited to the wedding (yeaayy!!!) but the not-so-delightful thing is,the wedding will take place in August and I am obliged to be back in Malaysia by August by my sponsors,which means I will most definitely miss it.(what a shame!!).I've always wanted to see with my own eyes how an English wedding looks like,especially if it belongs to someone that I know.As for their honeymoon plans,they're not quite sure yet on where to go but flatteringly,they did actually show quite a bit of interest on Malaysia as I have been pestering Matt to come to Malaysia and enjoy the sun and the sun-kissed beaches and also not to mention the cheap ringgit! (oh my,now I'm really missing good ol' Malaysia!).I ought to claim some rewards from Tourism Malaysia for doing this!LOL!Well,as a matter of fact I do miss home quite a lot and maybe it's about time I go home and open up a new chapter in my life.However,I am still quite astonished as to how quickly time passes by and sometimes it just freaks me out simply by just thinking and contemplating about my future.Will I be successful?Will I be happy?Will I be satisfied?Will I be able to contribute to my country and society?Will I be rich?How far will I go?..I could go on and on and the list would just go endless.Soon I will start on my new job and not to mention being one of those people who will be in their offices from 9 till 5 and everything will just become a routine before you even realise it!**Dumbfounded**I don't know but sometimes I just wish that I would never have to grow up,never have to crack my head out just to get a good degree and secure a decent job and your family will always be there for you should you ever need them.There will be no cares and worries and life would just seem to be as carefree as can be!Well maybe that's just plain naive and me suddenly feeling reluctant to take on more responsibilities in life.Ok I admit that was a lil bit childish of me but as much as it hurts to grow up I know I am up for it as there will be more challenges and ever-widening opportunities to make myself a better man and citizen.After all life is what you make out of it and it can only be done possible if you embrace the future.So maybe embracing the future isn't really that hard and dreadful after all and I always have this notion in mind that no matter how good or bad things turn out to be,they are there for a reason and God is the best planner.So whatever that has been rolled up for you in the future would definitely be the very best for you!

Anyhow,it's good to hear that more and more of my friends,both here in the UK and back home are starting to settle down and I wish all of them a life full of joy,happiness and success.Well as for me,only time will tell and like my favourite quote,"just go with the flow" but of course I don't ever want to be left out in this big circle of life but for the time being,let me just enjoy my singlehood and my 'last fling' during these last few treasured moments of my university life.University of Warwick,maybe it's a little bit too early but,thank you for splashing beautiful colours onto my life!Wicked and I can sleep in peace now!Good nite!
