expired-fresh-grad.

I am officially one-year-old-fresh-grad! haha nak jugak fresh-grad kan. How does it feel? How do I cope and adapt? Do I like it?

A few weeks before I came back to Malaysia, i have this one thought of  "am I ready for this?" of everything. To adapt with the environment, to leave US, the career path and all. At first, I thought it would be easy. Yelah, i lived in Malaysia much longer than my temporary stay in US kan, so it should be no big deal. But deep inside, it kept bothering me a lot. Eventho I grown up in my hometown, but I spent big part of my teenager years in the US. 4 years that bring me who I am and what I have today.

Back to Family, finally. 
To be honest, the beginning was hard! maybe it is just me. I faced some difficulties.emotionally. Jadi sensitive, tbe2 datang mood yg malas nak ckp dgn sape2 dlm rumah, org melawak sikit nak emo. like nothing is right. haha. Back in US, if I wanna go anywhere, walmart ke jalan2 mne2 ke, i was more to 'informing' my mom, than 'asking permission'. Cuma kalau trip yang jauh2 je tanya. Takde la nak pegi tengok movie, nk shopping pon nk tnye kan. Having supper at iHop at 12am was normal, midnight movie was a routine, walmart at 2am was perfect grocery time! But when I came back, I have this one feeling that the freedom is taken away from me. haha ntah pape rase cmtu. semua bnda nak protest. but as time passed by, i began to realize, it's all different now. lagi2 i live with my family kan, so i have to respect them, and the curfew :P :P and now everything is back to normal. or at least that is what I feel ;) and im doing pretty good at teasing my family members! haha.after all, It's good to be home, again.

Separate from Friends, and Favorite people. 
My family was not there on my graduation day. But yes, they watched me on the stage online.  So I share the happiness with my friends, my batch! And at that moment, I realized, after 4 years, I didn't just hold my degree to be brought home, but I also brought a big family back home! Each of them is a gift from God to me. You have no idea how much we cried at the airport when sending some of us off hehehe.  I don't do pretty well on this. I need to see them as much as I can, because they are the strength that need to be recharged frequently. Alhamdulillah, until now we see each other all the times! Of course, not as frequent as dekat Vandy, dulu mengadap 24/7 kott, hehe but at least I know they still value the friendship as much as I did. Eventho we're now separated by land and sea, scattered all around Malaysia,  but it is such a relief to know I will always  have someone to shout at when I am stressed, someone to talk to when I am depressed, without judging, anytime!

I will continue this later, about the career, about leaving the States and etc.

precious moment, precious friends! 

By the way, HAPPY GRADUATION CLASS OF 2012! Congratulations and Welcome to the Club! ;)
