Life's ever changing journey

It's been a month now. Somehow days seems to have outgrown me. I'm homesick. Europe though...in most people's eyes...it's somewhere they'd like to be...somewhere far away from home for asians like myself. I came here with that feeling too...full of anticipation...full of curiosity...and all sorts of mixed feelings abound me.

After a month, I seem to have grown weary of all these and more. Life wasn't as interesting...though I have no regrets coming over here...I just wished that this trip wouldnt be a long one. I'm looking forward to spend more time back home...or at least somewhere in Asia...where I wont be stared at on the streets like an alien...though it's quite common to see others like us on the streets anyway. I wonder if they too were studied by these foreign eyes...probing our very detail...looking for a third arm that we've mysteriously tucked behind our backs perhaps?

I havent been able to write much lately...at least I haven't been writing like what I used to...I think. Perhaps its due to my busy weekend trips or maybe its because I've grown weary of writing too. I don't know.

Tonight I have some time to spend, I've just paid 2.95euro for an hour of internet access at my lobby...so I might as well spend some time...trying to actually write something here.

It's the weekend again. Almost 12am now...as i wrote these lines. In 8 hours...I'm leaving for my 4th weekend trip. This time...to Milan...Italy's fashion capital. I'm still kinda tired from last week's Rome. I guess I better spend more time resting...instead of goin places...part of the reason, I decided to take it easy this week...goin to Milan for a daytrip...then i can rest on Sunday. Hopefully I'll start next week...rejuvenated.

It's 6am now in Malaysia...guess everyone would still be asleep back home. On a Saturday morning...I am just wondering if it's a cold morning or perhaps a warm one...will it rain today? or is the weather good?

if we are really in a tour .. probably, will be different feeling ... but, to travel there for working purpose .. nah ... not much fun ..
beside .. i'm not the type who will enjoy travelling alone.

well if i'm travelling for leisure...i would be glad that you guys are envious :P but i'm here for 'official business'...weekend trips are usually a 'rush-in and rush-out' thingy, which is tiring above all.
