last weekend we went to visit a chum of mine from school. he's been over here in the UK about 8 years now, finished his studies n been working for a while. settled down pretty nicely, n misses home, but i don't think he will go home. odd thing is, he says every year they been saying it's time to go back next year...and according to the wife she's heard that every year for the last five.
back where i asked him... to bolehland? and yes i did catch him hesitating...but i'm not against him or any other fellow malaysian who wants to return to do so. but i realised when i came over a few months back, it's one thing to uproot yourself and move to another country on the opposite side of the world, but it's another thing altogether to pack up after spending some time to move back.
why? u miss so many things back home (well i don't miss much .... yet, but that's the usual argument) food, people, places etc. sure u do! but then i miss a lot of places i've been and want to go back to.
why? everything back home also so maju adi (progressed already)... yeah but is it the same? will u be able to fit in back home the way you've been living and earning over here (or anywhere else non-bolehland).
well i donno. i've got pals who have moved back.... n regretted it. some haven't. was i being naughty in asking my friend that question? not really, cos in all fairness, i was just gathering as much feedback as possible, about the emotions and rationale behind making such a decision when the time comes for me to ponder the same scenario. till then.. i'll keep on clicking and typing!
happy thanksgiving all!

i think all down to what u already get used to. things already do here for the pass 30 years very hard to change in a few months or years time.
but time will change everything. like ur friend already there for 5 years and still dont wan to come back, meaning he already get use to the life there. he just didnt notice it yet. :)
same for us in boleh-land. we always admire ppl on the other side of the world.
but how many ppl willing to make the move? not much, 'cos we all already in our comfort zone we dont want to move.
you will do pretty well there mate. ur wife is there with you so you wont feel so lonely. and u still have me and chu to talk to on google talk haha. :D
cheers mate! Merry Christmas and Happy NEw year! see u in 2011!
