Flight

As I sit here, right next to the window looking out towards the wide open space housing so many of the flights that will eventually, and hopefully, bring their passengers to their destination, I can't help but feel that life goes on amidst all that chaos happening around us.

July has been a month of sheer excitement and unfortunate events. First, there was the untimely death of the legendary King of Pop, Michael Jackson. I am still coming to terms with his death, though I must admit I did not expect myself to be so profoundly impacted by his demise.

Then there was the death of Mr.Teoh Beng Hock which up till now, is still shrouded in a mysterious veil of political motives and beneficial battles. A simple man with a complex background whose incomprehensible fashion of death plagues everyone's mind. Be it his friends and relatives who genuinely feel the despair at his lost, or the people behind all the supposed curtain orchestrating move after move with the constant relation to his death to supposedly fuel propaganda against their opposition.

These people, though not remembered for their works during their life, are remembered and often mentioned in tabloids and newspapers for their news value.

I just do not understand why people care so much how Michael Jackson's two sons and daughter will end up? Or did Joe Jackson really abused him as a child? I also do not get why people want to accuse others of Mr Teoh's death when no light has been shed whatsoever, casting this aura of injustice and lack of confidence in the country's very foundation. The dead has passed, and we should remember them for who they were, history should not be allowed to continue on with their life story after their death. History should not be given the right to fabricate their legacy.

Alright, I know it's kinda weird to be mentioning all this on a post regarding my departure from Malaysia to Melbourne. So I'll just shift back to my main topic. ME!

So I'll be leaving Kuala Lumpur at 9.30pm Malaysian time tonight and I'll be arriving Melbourne at, reportedly, 8.00 am in the morning. After basking in the scorching sun for almost a month and suffering all that haziness I have around me, its safe to say that I do miss Melbourne's chilling weather and fresh air.

Of course, life there wouldn't be complete without you awesome people! I miss all of you, above everything else.

See you guys soon!
