After years of living abroad and for a certain period, in a single bedroom apartment, living in someone else's house was always going to take some getting used to. What I didn't foresee is how hard it would be to get used to the constant ranting of a jaded human being.
It has also been a bit difficult not having friends here like the ones I hung out with in Kuching. The traffic and the cost of things, coupled with the fact that I don't exactly know where to go to get cheaper things, means that it is both extremely time consuming and expensive to go anywhere. So I bought a book on the weekend, and hopefully that'll keep me occupied this week and/or weekend.
Last week we celebrated a colleagues' birthday at a nice cafe and I had a grilled vegetable sandwich. It was so good, and made me miss Melbourne coz it's always so easy to get food like that everywhere. Here, you have to go to special cafes that charge RM15-18 for something like that. It converts to about AUD$5-6, which is quite reasonable if you make AUD, but less so in RM.
Also miss playing futsal with the boys. Can't wait to go home next weekend and have a good kick around.
