Present or past, I have always deny (vehemently) that I'm converting into a Penangite, Surely, I can't be counted as one just because I have been living there for a year or that my IC has a 07 in it? I still see myself as a budak SP. Jakun in nature.
However, over the last one year, due to the alternating between SP and Penang, I find it difficult at times, identifying which is my home. I know to some, the distinction between those two should seem very clear and that there shouldn't even be any confusion in the first place. I wish it was so. But it isn't.
Now that I am on this little island once more, occasionally my thoughts wander off to SP. Of my room and my mum. The only conclusion that I can think of to reconcile the glaring disparity in this bipolar feelings I have is that I now have two homes. One is my hometown while the other is my birthtown which is slowly growing into my second hometown. It may sounds absurd. Heck even, I find it hard at times, trying to put my thoughts into words, but this is the closest I can put in words. But pretty soon, I may need to leave the latter in search for another place to call my home for the next 3 years at least. Let's see then, how am I to reconcile the tri-dilemma then.
But for the records, I will always be a budak SP. Not a Penangite!
Ps- The picture above (Swiped from Dante C Leon) is totally unrelated to today's post, just that I decided to put in there cause it was a pretty cool mask that my bro and I got in the Bon Odori festival. His is the bronze one (as seen in the pic) while I got myself a green one. *winks*

i didn't found the mask in shah alam.. lame~~
Felt smtg like that too.. Somehow it feels like home when i'm back in pulau tikus.. the roads and lorong all.
registered here. zixin lim adalah budak SP.
though i do feel like the home in SP is now as if my vacation house...since i will only b back there during holidays.

Nabila: Eh, hang ni suka sangat tukar blog link kamu ke? Kena update sekali lagi. =P
Vj: True, amigo.
Siew Ying: But the one at Shah Alam should have more stuff right? Halfway rain at there. Major buzz kill. Managed to watch the fireworks in the car tho. XD
Jason: Haha, dear Pulau Tikus. It has been so long since I go there. Tell you a funny story bout Pulau Tikus the next time we meet.
Tze Xin: I second your opinion! XP
wow kar men, why is it so hard to comment over here?? a pop up ad always comes!
anyways, no need to feel bad. I had the same feeling too. Yupp, my home will always be SP too! It's the best place ever despite the limited entertainment -.- but i also have considered Cyberjaya my 2nd home too. why? coz i have and will spend so much time here. Meeting new people, adjusting to a new independent life and growing up from an 18 year old to an adult (hopefully i graduate when i'm 22)
it dont mean we betrayed our 1st home. We just found comfort in another place. Home is where the heart is! :)
Chia Leh: I didn't know my blog had that much pop ups. Will do something bout it.
I don't see the whole thing of having multiple homes as a bad thing. More of confusing at times. But I second your thoughts on the whole growing up business. May you graduate earlier than most of us by 22 then!
