I was told that i don't look like the kind who'd have a blog. But you did say im an introvert and "introverts are more concerned with the inner world of the mind. They enjoy thinking, exploring their thoughts and feelings." So basically this is where I explore my thoughts and feelings -- primarily for me to look back on and see how much ive developed since back then.

It has been a pleasant 9 months. Something i'll miss when i start the next phase of my journey. Everyday was something i actually look forward to when i first started --there's so many things for me to learn and i wanted learn everything quickly. Having people around you who never fail to render their help no matter how many time i ask the same question made my learning a smoother process.

Till today, i realise that there's still a lot for me to learn. Perhaps when the opportunity comes knocking again, i'll answer the call.

I'll miss being the youngest in the family -- having people older than me who're watching over me. I'll miss having people whom i know i can talk to even though i don't really talk that much. I'll go back and look after my family like how my family here have looked after me.

Ive been told im a nice guy but on days when i wasn't as nice, my profound apologies.

For all that ive received throughout my stay here, my sincere and heartfelt thank you.

Someone whom pretty much shaped me into the somewhat changed person i am now once said, "As with many journeys in life, this is not a goodbye or the end of our paths together. It is just a temporary separation of time, distance and place whilst I traverse on my own personal journey towards Him. We remain close as long as we remain in each other's prayers. I hope this journey will make me, and us, even stronger. "
