home.

After being home for close to two weeks, i think i'm more or less settled now. the hardest bit being the weather, leaving the nice and cool of perth to return to the hot and humid of singapore. then there is the problem of the haze that's caused by the forest fires in indonesia, something that i've been fortunate to avoid for the past three years by returning only in nov for my summer hols. i miss perth, for the clean air if not anything else. sigh.

.

i'm not sure if there is a proper name for it, but i call what i felt when i arrived home 're-entry disorientation'. but its probably a convenient excuse to slack for a couple of weeks. :P no, its just withdrawal symptoms of not travelling anymore! quite likely i reckon. :)

.

after what i'd like to call a 'life re-defining' two over months of travelling, it will be hard to look at certain things the same way again. i definitely will not be too comfy (or happy) with the thought of staying put for a couple of years (at least till i can afford my next trip). :P i look at things at home different, more often than not thru the eyes of a 'traveller'. home, however small, has much more to offer to anyone. but the lure of something that has always been there lessens, the same is true for everything else i spose. so as i set out on this part of life back home, i'll be trying my darnest not to loose my magic glasses, those that make like so much better. ;)

the race will not beat me. disillusion must not set in!

being home, might just be what i need now. :)
