You gain some, you loose some..

Thanks to wonderwoman, empire builder, Mix, Nisrin, Chio, Digs for the encouraging comments on my last post.

And so, I am home. It has been a very eventful month and a half in a good and bad way. Not something I expected or had hoped for. It's very homey, comfortable, super hot!, filled with love. It's not inspiring like New York or friendly & laid-back like Australia or beautiful like Colombia but this is home, this is where Mum, Dad, Bro and Sis. and many good friends live.

I miss New York and Colombia dearly, very dearly for many different reasons. I wish I was in NYC when the orange safron gates went up, having lunch together with the team in the Aiesec office...I miss the romantic aura of Colombia.. the Maria and Linares families..

And so, you gain some and you loose some. I lost my grandma last week. It was and still is very sad. She left me a pair or shoes which she bought for me from her last China trip. She left very happily, painlessly and most unexpectedly.

I now divide myself between spending time with fam. , developing this software that I had in mind for some time, finishing up oustanding project, researching the feasibility of starting up my own Sdn. Bhd (Private Limited) and playing with my 4 months old counsin.

Although not the best country to live, I just feel the desire and need to stay here for a while..(at least a year)..

Everytime I loose something dear I remember this poem by Robert Frost:

Nature's first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold,
Her early leaf's a flower,
But only so an hour,
Then leaf subsides to leaf,
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day,
Nothing gold can stay.

Happy Grandma at bro's wedding a month ago:
