What a World..

The unexpected happenings,
The many crazy headlines,
The financial mess,
The unsettled peace.

What a world we are in now.
What a world it has become.
What a world will it turn out.
What a world will we face?

Fading

The colours of the once bright and happy rainbow fades.
The sun's rays no longer stay but its warmth now pricks.
The once longed for steering strangely and getting further.
The promised lead to known and unknowns at far.

Don't know if the choice is made right,
Don't know why uncertainties are in echoes.
Don't know what will it become in time.
Don't know that picture painted anymore.

Everything fades in time, there is no escaping.
Just this, not hoping it takes on any kind of fading.

Home Sweet Home

When I left, I turned back and there were flashbacks of that beginning 3 years back. Saddened but at the same time I kept telling self it is time to be home. That journey I took, I have never regretted. My dream fulfilled. Been there, done that. Bravo!

What worries me now - what's next? I always pursue dreams I set. Now I am lost, not knowing which path to go, what door to open. Worrying will not help they say. Guess being home and letting nature takes its course is the only answer till I discover my next pursue.

That feeling of wanting to be back in the job overwhelmed me as I board the plane. The errands that I had to run made me real tired that I slept having dreams on the plane. . Emotions built up as I arrived into homeland. Home is always somewhere I am proud to be!

Met him... it was after so long to me. A bit strange but yet butterflies filled my stomach. At last, I can be normal and spend time with him. Knowing that I have someone to lean on and talk to.

Beginning October

Drinks, parties, farewells, dinners and running errands were the activities that surrounded me. What an ending for me here.

I met up with some almost the same group of people every night. That longing of wanting to spend more time with them suddenly crashed upon me. No matter how tired, I pushed self to make events happened. The girls are really sweet and kind. Played good hosts of preparing steamboat and cleaning the place after the mess. Kat and Sean threw a Braai at home for me as well. Sometimes it takes someone to be leaving to make people gather and treasure times together. Drinking was no longer enjoyable after the second night. It became so hard to even smell alcohol. As the drinks got sipped, it then became less noticeable. Of course, once we get going, we could not stop.

Running errands was what I hated most. Not because of anything else but to get from point A to B, it took too much time. Cabs stop turning up. The wait was almost an hour or more each time, while the travelling time took less than 30 minutes. On top of it, the inefficiency of people at work there was beyond what I could bear. The people were rude, dishonest and "stupid" too. With all these, it just reminded me why I chose to go.

Mixed feelings. One part of me really hate the place. My only hold back was the beautiful friends I have. The people made 3 years of my life less lonely, more interesting and most memorable.

What will I be without friends?

Meeting Uber soon drives me nuts. I am so afraid that the distance and time had affected us. At the same time, that insecurity drives the negative thoughts. Of course, the wait is coming to an end and worth celebrating. Just hoping things will go on well...

September Day 30

Wake me up when September is over! Finally Day 30! The last day of dry nights out there! Tonight we were all geared up to celebrate the end of Eid and the start of non-stop partying.

Finally, we all met up and had a hell of a time together. Though music was not as fantastic, the company was crazy and great! It was meant to be the start of my farewell too. I was "bullied" and "challenged" to take up drinks that each of my friends offered. Mixing is no good. To be fun, I agreed and luckily for me, the orders made were delivered too slow for the after effect to take place. Phew!

Totally enjoyed but got real sleepy at the after party while the girls created short comedies.
This is not it... more nights to be attacked.
