Going Home

March 24th, 2006 - Friday

Wing Hon, Christine, Wuan and I will be heading to Penang this evening. This particular journey has invoked in me a sense of reluctance. I have been away from home for three months. There is a feeling of anxiety in me now, wondering what awaits me there. I have almost forgotten how it feels like to be in my apartment. Will I be as comfortable and at ease as I am here in Kuala Lumpur? All the tasks that I have left behind needs to be relearnt - cooking, laundry, cleaning. On top of that, I will be working on Independent Living projects beginning April. This is something that is very new to me, and more so to the disabled persons community in Penang. I foresee a lot of work ahead. Nevertheless, I believe that this will also be a fulfilling pursuit. If this concept is successfully adopted, many severely disabled persons will benefit from the liberation that comes with it. Hello Penang, I am coming home!
