Lately I’ve been thinking of how my life would be if I stayed in the UK. I keep missing my life there so so so much it’s getting annoying. It’s as if I can’t face the reality that my one year period of living there is over. DONE. goodbye.I still can feel shivers when I see my UK pictures photo album. Still check my friends’ facebook page occasionally just to see how they’re doing. Post comments of how “I wish I was there” and “I miss you guys so much” in facebook. Received messages/emails/skype chats from them, asking how my life is here. Really, it’s as if I cant face reality.
Then I finally was able to skype chat with some of my friends there. All this time I tried to arrange a skype chat with them but kept failing, it’s either I was busy or they was busy, we just never seem to be able to get online at the same time! But just this weekend I finally had a skype chat with them! So happy to be able to chat like the old times again.. we shared stories and updates of our lives.
To my surprise, when it comes to updates about our ex-classmates, some of them are actually still struggling to get a proper job in UK! I thought everyone has finally settled down with a proper job somehow. But then again, turns out that not everyone has! One friend of mine just left her job because the company she worked for is too small and could not pay her properly. So she left the job, and now working as a waitress in a café in London, while trying to get a better job.
The story made me think, if I stayed in UK, I’d probably stay the same, still working in Burger King, 40 hours a week, struggling to get a proper job. In that case, I think I can be considered lucky that I have a stable job in this multinational company.
See.. grass is always greener on the other side. Try to enjoy what you have and be thankful of it! :D
