I am literally travelling the world! Have I been mentioning this? I am pretty sure I have. I am part complaining about it, and part boasting about it, but mainly, it is just a topic to talk about. :/

I still have my freedom of speech, and I shall abuse it.

Week 1 : Malaysia
Week 2 : Macau + Hong Kong
Week 3 : Korea
Weel 4 : Singapore

Literally, it feels like I am travelling all over South East Asia. What a way to spend my winter break, escaping the freezing cold temperatures of Melbourne, away to the hotter parts of Asia with temperatures ranging from 27 - 33 degrees Celsius.

This kind of trip, would be one matter where people would envy. Or so to say, people around me have been mentioning on how lucky I am for being able to do this. Somewhat of a dream holiday for them.

Maybe I am being a princess, maybe I am being an irritant. But I honestly have no excitement with this current layout of plans. Yes, it is a dream to have a visit in South Korea, yes, I have the chance to do a tremendous amount of travelling than anyone could even possibly thought of. It feels like I am being spoilt to the max. Not quite liking how this is making me look like to my friends. But it is something that has been bothering me, and I felt like talking about it. Responses have been rather... cold.

What I wanted most was just to hang around in Malaysia for as long as I can. Malaysia is my home. The place where I grew up, the place where I am most fond of, the place where I feel more loved.

"Spend so long time in Malaysia for what?"

Considering it is Mummy who says that, I could not answer that question. I knew very well what my answer would be, but I simply could not say it. Because I know it is not the right answer to be said, but I know that is what my heart wants.

'Malaysia is my home.'

Though I have been driving around without a driver's license, and wondering around without my identity card, also not having much malaysian currency on me whenever I hang out. Feeling much of a foreigner, but I knew deep down, this is where I belong.

Initial plans of spending ten days with Mummy made me feel extremely selfish. EXTREMELY SELFISH. What was worst that I could not have the heart to tell her the reason why I wanted to stay in Malaysia for a longer period of time. It is inhumane. :(

Then plans changed, now I will be spending 2 weeks with darling Mummy, hanging around Macau and HongKong, then a trip to South Korea. Also not forgetting Mummy's treat to watch Girls Generation live on the 2nd of July!

Everything else fell into place just about right. Spending time with my aunt on a little trip to Singapore once I get back from my Macau trip.

Everything else is fine, set, and flawless.

But ten days home is heartbreaking-ly short.
