In my shoes

I've got two friends here who are enduring a similar loneliness for being away from family - Ruth & Fizah, both are split phD students like me...

Yesterday eve, Ruth dropped by at my room, just wanna say hi. She told me that she can't focus on her study anymore as she is expecting her hubby who will be arriving here on 18th March...As usual we exchanged our similar stories of loneliness - except that she doesn't have a baby yet...

This afternoon, Fizah gave a me a phone call - and guess what, she also told me that she can no longer focus on her study, as she is very much looking forward to go back to Msia on 28th March, a week after my departure(soon..)... Among three of us, Fizah said that I'm the strongest, as I have not seen my hubby for the continuous 6 months, while she is luckier in the sense that her hubby came to visit her last December....

Yeah, I'm strong...but tears is always my best companion whenever I feel that it is no longer bearable, whenever I feel like I can't take it anymore...
Just another 17 days, so I have to comfort myself to keep on being strong emotionally, though I can't focus on my study anymore, exactly like Ruth and Fizah ;)
