7 more days. counting down.

Not really counting down. Because there's just so much I want to do in Malaysia.

One: Family. Not enough time. We only see each other probably around a month in a year.

Two: Home. This is home. This is concrete home. No treated timber, no wooden walls. No crackling sounds of floor as it's a concrete floor slab. This is a real home. Solid home.

Three: Friends. High school friends are especially close ones. There's just probably 30 to 40 of them you can call close at any one time. But these people spent the innocent days with you when you're in your teenage years. Everything was so open. There were so many memories together.

Four: Network. I'm not being racist. Networking here is easy. Maybe people think i'm a bit too approachable, especially in the Malaysian environment. I'd like to change this. I'd like to make people more like Kiwis. I've yet to achieve that. I've made some friends here by following locals (I don't consider myself a local as I don't stay here that long anymore) to hang out places. You guys are awesome. I'm lucky.

Five: Opportunities. I see opportunities everywhere I go in Malaysia. There's just so much going on here that Auckland seems a bit too slow.

I'll quit moaning.

At least I know that I'm making maximum use of my time here. At least 8 hours of sleep is a good and useful one in every day here. At least when I'm awake for the remaining 16 hours I know I'm doing something good. Something worth doing. I live with a purpose.

At least when I go back to Auckland I'll still have a few close friends. Those who make it happen day by day for me. With me.

You guys know who you are.

It definitely rocks. To live. Live life full.
