because i guess in a way i;m constantly reminded of what i had before i went away

The Unknown says:
that was the decisive reason and definately part of the plan

J says:

The Unknown says:
yeap mine's on the same day!

The Unknown says:
...we should be rightttttt????

The Unknown says:
and i got it

J says:
why do you think u'll regret it?

The Unknown says:
because the bet is on which is the greener side

The Unknown says:
you know all those things we talked bout?

J says:
yup

The Unknown says:
i'm just worried that i would be able to achieve them more in aus than in malaysia

The Unknown says:
you know

J says:
you having serious doubts?

J says:
wowww

J says:
when did you realize all this?

The Unknown says:
and just before i left aus, i must admit, it was pretty comfy already

The Unknown says:
a month after i came back

The Unknown says:
u know on of the main reasons i came back

The Unknown says:
is because i know the possiblilty for a very very successful career is almost imminant in malaysia
compared to aus for me

The Unknown says:
that stil stands

The Unknown says:
but u know what J??

J says:
??

The Unknown says:
i'm seriously wondering

The Unknown says:
or rather i have serious doubts

The Unknown says:
that if i really want that???

J says:
wowww

The Unknown says:
no kidding

J says:
you've been hanging out with me and m too much!!!

The Unknown says:
here i am cocooned in the comfort of a nice car

The Unknown says:
and there i am

The Unknown says:
thiking how nice it is to walk on the cobbled laneways when it's just done raining?

The Unknown says:
you know

J says:
hmmm that's a tough one

J says:
the other reason is]

The Unknown says:
you know what i mean

J says:
straight after you finished studying you didn't break for holiday or anyone

J says:
you just dived head in to work

The Unknown says:
i did for a week

J says:
a week is nothing

The Unknown says:
yea but i was happy

The Unknown says:
when i first started work

The Unknown says:
then it slowly came

The Unknown says:
the realisation

J says:
you have to be on holidays until you feel bored out of your brains and really and charged to
worok

The Unknown says:
it's not about work J

The Unknown says:
it's about life

The Unknown says:
over here i'm so detached from it

The Unknown says:
u know u can be alone and in touch with life

The Unknown says:
good example is the coffee by urself on the beach

The Unknown says:
over here it's completely detached

J says:
but why can't you do that over there?

The Unknown says:
one., there's no beach in kl

J says:
can't you go for nice drives

The Unknown says:
two, the dynamics of the city is very very different

J says:
or walks in the mall

The Unknown says:
it's different

The Unknown says:
the way the city feels

The Unknown says:
you know

J says:
hmmm

The Unknown says:
i'm perfectly comffy in melb to take a stroll down to lygon and get myself a nice latte

The Unknown says:
but over here

The Unknown says:
it doesn't feel that way

J says:
hmmm.....

The Unknown says:
over in aus i can lay back and wathc the leaves falls and do my thinking and my plotting

The Unknown says:
here, i can';t

The Unknown says:
i think it really boils down to

The Unknown says:
what i want

J says:
can you substitute all that for something else now in KL?

J says:
perhaps curl up in bed and read a book

The Unknown says:
rather than what i can achieve

J says:
??

The Unknown says:
been doing that, curling up on a sofa in an air conditioned room watchig dvds

J says:
yeah that's alwyas nice to do

The Unknown says:
and messing about with my car at night

The Unknown says:
coz maybe that's all tat is

The Unknown says:
i;m serious pondering

The Unknown says:
if a really successful career is what that is gonna make me happy?

The Unknown says:
because i seriously don't feel too contented now

The Unknown says:
though i know i'm already ahead?

J says:
oh....

J says:
it's a toss up

The Unknown says:
hahahahah

The Unknown says:
messed up it s

J says:
maybe you won't know until you're in that situation

The Unknown says:
you're right in that sense

The Unknown says:
that's y i'm in such a mess

The Unknown says:
i can't make the distinctive judgement

The Unknown says:
and an informed choice

The Unknown says:
hate that

The Unknown says:
grrrrrrrrrrrrrr

The Unknown says:
oh well to wrap things up

The Unknown says:
i think that i would only know the answer somewhere down the line

The Unknown says:
time will tell they say

The Unknown says:
i just hope that by that time it won't be too late to be back.

Perhaps, when you stop having expectations, this place will be a much better place to live in. That's how I did it anyway.

thank you to you both!

missarcastic, I am making the most of what I have, in the sense that it's almost like the big picture is just like what was planned, except, the details are all muddled, the brushstrokes are all wrong.

steph, I know what you mean exactly! All I have to say is that it's in our nature to hope and that's basically expecting. Having it real good here in KL many years ago before I left for Melb doesn't help with the expectations bit, if you now what I mean.

Thoughts sorted finally, the decission will be within the 3rd and 5th year, regardless of carreer, if I still feel that there is more to life than what I have then, I'm leaping back to Melb and live a simple life, least I know I tried. ;)

Steph, you hang in there too!
