i never realised how deep my roots ran till i came here. and a part of me is thankful that they run so deep and far. cos no matter what happens, i know that there's somewhere to go home to. but most importantly, i hate ungrateful people. i don't want to be one.

one and a half more years, hopefully with the last in US, and i can finally put to rest that nagging niggling worry that is constantly at the back of my mind.

which is why, again this year, and for as long as possible, my birthday wish is that that worry never comes true.
