Melaka.....home....


It's been 1 1/2 months since my move down south. Of which I've stayed only 21 nights out of 45 days in Melaka. It's still too early to call this place 'home'.

Home - a place I feel safe
Home - a place I rest well

Home - a place of comfortable surroundings
Home - a place of familiarity

For the next 3-4 weeks, I will remain in Melaka. Except for trips to Johor, this will be the longest chunk of time spent here so far. I am looking forward to becoming familiar with my house, developing my confidence in my taman, and settling more into house and routine.

It's so far been an uphill struggle to come to 'love' the place. More like a reluctance to embrace my new world. But slowly, and surely, this (to me) small town will win me over.

For now, whenever I realise its not 'home' yet, I try to remember that there's no reason I can't be ......(note the two hands holding things to eat!)

I've been settling in where food is concerned! hahaha....

But lately, have realised that it's not gonna be easy in terms of church and friends....

The older I get, the harder it is to 'open' up and start all over again.

But yeah....will hang in there.... :o)
