Homesick

Dear All,

It is already middle of July already..and next month I would be going for my 3rd Clinical Posting at Malacca General Hospital from 9th August onwards till 3rd September 2010..

It's been a long time since I went home..If I am not mistaken,the last time I went home was during Chinese New Year..almost 5 months ago!! Gasp! I am missing mum and sis..and the goodness of home already..

Somehow,each time when I planned to go home,something would have pop out and disrupt my plans..For example, I am supposed to have a 2 weeks break after my first semester exam but it got cancelled abruptly without any valid reason..sigh..then it is straight to sem 2..Can you imagine how stressful was it?? :(

Anyway,I found this song by Angela Aki titled "HOME" .. Just the right song to express my feeling at the moment...


HOME by Angela Aki




Lyrics ( courtesy of www.corichan.com ):

sensai na ito de soboku na machi ni shibaritsukerareteta koro
miageru tabi ni sora wa utsushita, haruka ni tooi sekai wo
chiisana basho wo ato ni shite kara dore kurai mou tatsu no darou
Home is calling

I was tied to this simple town with a fine thread
and whenever I looked up, the sky reflected a distant world far away
After I leave this small place behind, I wonder how much time will pass till
Home is calling

furusato kokoro no naka de ima demo yasashiku hibiiteru
samishisa ga shimitsuita yume no nai yoru ni wa anata wo yonde iru

Even now, my home is echoing gently in my heart
On the dreamless nights tainted with loneliness, I'm calling you

tokai no sora ni yume wo takushite kokoro wo gisei ni shiteru
yashin to ai no chouwa ga torezu daremo ga samayotte iru
kazaranakatta seijitsu na hibi kono goro nazeka koishiku omou
Home is calling

I entrust my dreams to the city sky, sacrificing my soul
Ambition & love don't mix; everyone is wandering about
They were honest, ungarnished days & for some reason, I recently think of them fondly
Home is calling

furusato taezu ni ai shite kureta sonna hito no kao wo
mou ichido mite mitai, kyoushuu ni karare anata wo yonde iru

I want to once again see the faces
of the people in my hometown who constantly gave me love
Homesick, I'm calling out to you

kako to ima no aida no tobari wo sotto hiraite miru to
sora no wareme kara koboreru hikari ga meguru jidai wo sashite ita
Home is calling

When I open the curtain between the past & the present,
The light spilling from the break in the sky, shines on the revolving times
Home is calling

furusato kokoro no naka de ima demo yasashiku hibiku yo
todomaru koto wo shiranai kibou ni mi wo makasete itemo
samishisa ga shimitsuita yume no nai yoru ni wa anata wo yonde iru
Home is always calling out my name

Even now, my home is echoing gently in my heart
Even if I trust myself to the hope with no limits
On the dreamless nights tainted with loneliness, I'm calling you
Home is always calling out my name

samishisa ga shimitsuita yume no nai yoru ni wa
anata wo yonde iru
furusato wo yonde iru

On the dreamless nights tainted with loneliness
I'm calling you
I'm calling home

Yours Truly,

First week of July

Dear All,

Hoping that you are all fine..It's been a long week or at least it seemed to be one..
Was down with flu and mild sore throat but thank God that at least the sore throat is cured..currently nursing my stuffy nose..Must be due to the ever changing weather and also the ongoing construction at my campus..Well,do take care of yourselves and take plenty of fluid..

I have to say that last sem was a blur and this sem is worst..somehow I find it hard to figure out what exactly am I supposed to study..even after going through the module booklet..I mean ,its not that I am totally lost..just that I have no idea as in whereabout to start..

And also eversince the last exam,I found myself increasingly laidback about skipping my usual daily jog fix..wondering if I am really that worn off...perhaps its my body cue telling me its time to slow down..

Owh well...that is all I can say for now..till then..take care peeps

Yours sincerely.

Chris C
