Lessons I learned in Labuan.

Planned to pick up my passport yesterday but ended up being late. Apa macam ni bro?

So, I ended up sungkai at KFC with 10 other friends. Never knew that my juniors & teachers from SM Sains Labuan also are joining stomping the KFC yard for their iftar.  Function habis semalam. Malu segan pun ada juga.

The best part was everything was reunited. These people semua kawan-kawan aku dari sekolah tadika, sekolah rendah,sekolah menengah, classmate, dormate semua pun boleh. The circles is very complicated I reckon. One thing that drew me to these friends was my involvement in the local schools.  With no more than 5000 students in my school year (the sum up of all the schools here) ((I think so)), I can't be too choosey about who I want to play with. I can't limit my interactions to people within my own religious domination, salary range, or even education level. We are connected to each other.

Dia ni kenal dia ni, lepastu dia ni pula kenal dia time sekolah menengah which undoubtedly aku kenal time sekolah rendah, lepastu aku pindah sekolah aku kenal dia ni pula, lepastu time matriks dia kenal pula kawan aku dekat sekolah lama ni. The art of networking.

Disenchanting about living here? When you act up (in public or not as much in public). Because here your behaviour surely have been reported to your parents. And then people would remember it for a very, very long time and labeled for our own mistakes.

Living in a small town we have made strong, enduring childhood friendships.I learned that a person living in Labuan doesn't have the same degree of anonymity as I does in the burbs. And with that reality, comes some important life lessons. 

Some of Your Best Friends Aren't At All Like You.

Will be leaving this lovely island back to KL next week. No one really know how big is my immense of love towards this land.
