A few short notes about what’s been happening as I didn’t really get the time to jot down recently.
I watched Australia the night before I left for Malaysia, a rather iconic (or ironic) coincidence, I find.
I sat beside a Malaysian Chinese who married a Turkish and is now an Australian citizen. A rather motherly figure, we talked about what it means to be Muslims in a predominantly non-Muslim country.

Home and Again
In a larger schemes of life, I did not find myself lucky. But in many ways things which occurred to me I counted as blessings, be it from God or out of sheer harmonious outcome of universe acting out its role.
Now, to be in Malaysia - is one abundant glory.
Despite the contradictory environment to live in (for I certainly adore the clean, environmental, and liberal atmosphere of Australia), I find myself now exponentially inspired and considerably more driven -both in dreaming, writing, and reading - than I was in Sydney in the last few months.
I suppose it’s psychological, to live in a comfort zone is detrimental to my conscience.
Surely Australia is everything I aspire for, but it’s my country I have to work on.
