After a few days of excessive CNY merry-making and gluttony, relatives and friends begin to pack their bags and return to big cities one by one. Daily get-togethers with old friends has dwindled to about once or twice per day compared to the hectic round-the-clock sessions during the first few days of CNY. We shifted from several joint tables to just one or two tables in mamak stalls. The remainders are all college and university students who will be leaving Muar this coming weekend. We are expecting the heavy traffic on the north-south highway but we won’t mind it as long as it allows a little more time spent in our homes. We won’t be getting such a long break and opportunities to meet up with so many friends at one go in the near future. That probably gotta wait till the Christmas break of the next CNY.

As for me, I’ll be on my way back to KL this coming Sunday morning. For now, I’m in perfect denial - avoid checking the calendar and refusing to pack my bags. On another note, I miss the excitement and fun in KL. But it’s always sad to leave one’s hometown even though you’ve gone through the same thing for the thousandth time.

I wanna go back to KL. I don’t wanna go back to KL. I wanna go back to KL. I don’t wanna go back to KL.

*stops whining*

The scariest thing about going back to KL this time round is that - Jel and I are gonna be 5th (final) year medical students this Monday onwards!!! Geez…

*runs and hides*
