transition

i still remember clearly the day i set foot in this foreign environment, away from home..
yes, no doubt, it's already been almost 2 years now

from the day i felt like a total stranger to the place;
to the day i start to take the same route walking to uni daily

from the day i don't need to think what to have for meals;
to the day i learn to get & fix some food for myself

from the day i don't know exactly where the (a,b,c) s are on the keyboard;
to the day i finally get familiarized with the position of the alphabets
[effect after doing lots of typed assignments]

from the day i don't usually incline towards caffeine consumption;
to the day i try to rely on coffee to stay up awake and alert while burning midnight oil

from the day i depend on someone else to wake me up;
to the times i get up early with alarm just to finish work or prepare for the day

from the day i'm not used to directions around the place;
to the day i slowly learn the whereabouts of the area

from the day i seek excitement in exploring the mall;
to the times when i don't even have any idea what to do inside

from the day i ask my parents for allowance for spending;
to the day i find my first part-time job to earn some money

from the day i have convenient transportation to go to most places;
to the day i get used to become a pedestrian on the road

from the day i live a more care-free life;
to the moments i have to confront challenges ahead of me all alone

from the day i don't have to worry much;
to the times when i know very well how stress feels like

from the day i can stay in the comfort zones of home;
to the day i need to be independent and be responsible to take care of myself

all these have been experiences over these '2-months-to-2-years' time
ryte now, perhaps i should begin searching for the real truth, meaning & purpose of life
uni studies is gonna finish very soon, thoughts often underestimate how quick time can pass by

i'm tired..
i'm exhausted;
with what i'm doing

this sem felt miserably long compared to last sem
probably i enjoyed better last time
happy times get over way faster
even before you realize that it's the end of it

i can't wait for this sem to end
yet next sem will be worse i guess
surely won't be looking forward for the commencement of another new coming sem
so basically i'm 'stuck'
with only 3 weeks' holiday in between
which is going to say 'bye-bye' real immediately

i don't know what to expect in the future
neither have i the answer to how to best equip myself for it
getting ready for it means a whole new transition would take place
fear is lurking again..
