Adaptation is the word

My friend on FB suggested that adaptation is the right word and steps for me at the moment. We difinitely speak the same language.

I believe there is a thing we called adaptation. It is a process of fitting in. In my case, it is basically about to find my niche in a place that I used to have a roof of my own. It was about 4 years that I left this place. But now, I am behaving like a fish out of water.

It never crossed my mind that coming back was so hard. And it was not that I never come back this place at all. I was here twice in four years time. It now occurred to me that I underestimated the power of belongings. Probably, time do have the ability to change the environment plus the people themselves.

I know it's the matter of time that I can feel at home again. But somehow, I am a slow learner with a big trait of being impatient, not a good collaboration though. And a hard one to please oneself.

So, the first step that I took was to arrange for my car to be sent here and thus I can roam around Kb once more. Other than that, I will start some new experiences, such as, design a small japanese style garden or go to school again. Not the science class, but some religious class of maybe trying to stitch my shirt. The list will goes on by time. I just need to be more patient.

Never underestimate my advice regarding the adaptation problem! *wink*
I always give that advice when people go back to Malaysia because I had been there before. It took me quite some time to get used to it. And I had gained weight due to that so called stress.
You will survive...it's just a matter of time.

I never underestimated that...many friends had experienced it before; from NZ, Japs, UK, Aus, it just that I thought I can manage it since I knew about it earlier.

I suppose it's difficult to relate since everyone had gone through different experiences. Never mind that, when you have your car back, you can do some photo shooting of beautiful scenery in Malaysia and write about them in your blog. :)
