Today is the day I leave.

It's been a year, and much has changed.

Even I have changed, hopefully for the better.

Coming here, I've learned a lot, grew up a lot, loved a lot, and lived a lot.

More importantly, I proved that I'm more able than I thought I was. Or I could be.



I cannot deny that I am sad to leave.

I have much memories here, some good, some bad even, yet they are all still memories, and befitting in crafting me into the person I am today.

So thank you, to all who have given me a chance to step into their lives, even for just a short while, while they beautified mine.

And to you, the one that I love the most, I wish I didn't have to go. But I am grateful, for these short 9 months of borrowed time, which if not I would not have the chance to fall in love with you.. Deeper.

Take care, my love.
You have my promises, as I have yours.
I'll be back soon.


It's not easy saying goodbye for the first time....
It's even harder, the second time around.


And to Kuching...

Goodbye, with love.
