The first struggling month was so a tragedy and made me realized things would never come easily to u, it's either for u to push to the limit or you failed without even trying. As for myself, I found it so out-bursting, my mind and my heart can't stop the unstoppable force comes from everywhere. Being different from the people makes you special (well I guess so) because people were so curious about you and where u came from, they always tolerate the fact that u can't speak the language that they think simple for them and should be easy for you to learn too. It took me over 2 months to finally understand the basic conversation (now I guess u can imagine how the communication been cracked out)
I'm a big fan of good music, and I found turkish music not that bad too, some music are so pleasing to my ears thou I can't even understand what was it say but who cares, music is universal so do turkish music. It might be so strange to listen to something that u can't even understand but then again, I can't help myself not to love it. Plus that's what google translation made for (u can translate the whole lyrics, haha) not only that, I've been closed to the internet more than ever since every time I tried to say something they couldn't understand me, so Thanks to Google Translation. you are Awesooome! :)
Friendship is not what I've been looking for, since I've got that before I came to Istanbul and yeah it's not even in my list to be closed to the people who I worked with. I'm a people person, I go and talk with everyone I want thou most of the time in Istanbul I found it difficult to fluently say my words but it doesn't beat me down. (I'm talkactive and this is another reason why). Well, feeling good about myself and being able to be good with people always makes me happy. I'm happy and glad that I found good friends here, despite being far away from my close friends I tried to become friends with them and I guess they are glad too, to get to know people from other country (at least to tell other people that they have friend from Malaysia which some of them thought Malaysia is part of Africa continent and I found it so ignorantly funny).
I miss people who I left back in Malaysia, I miss those I've been closed to, my beloved family,close friends, best friends, soulmate and friends that I cared for. But can I have people in here too? My love is for them, my heart beats and asks for them, my smile and my happiness also belongs to them, they've become important to me too, reasons for me to laugh today for me to smile every morning and for me to feel loved. I've might sound so greedy for friendship but u can't blame me for being that when all the people near you are so good and that's all u can ask for. I know no one can offer me a solution and I know hoping something that u can't have is more suffering that having none of it. Whether I like it or not, I have to let go one of them, and letting go doesn't mean the end of it until we meet again, I shall say half of my heart is missing and I will always look for to see them again. May be it takes me more than 2 years or even more than that, but I have no worries cause Internet is always the best place to meet. :) Thanks to the technology and the people who created it! haha.
Through out this post, u can find so many "good" words, it's because everything here was so good, so great, so wonderful, so tremendous and those other positive expressions that could conclude my feeling so far. I'm happy and I cry for being so happy about everything. Being far from Istanbul makes me believe that long relationship is more than love it's about the trust u put in it. I trust the friendship that we built, I trust that love will be taken care so well, I trust the people that I love and I trust the distance can't stop my love to stay. :) Istanbul, u've been good to me, you've treated me good more than I could asked for, I love you dearly you hold a place in my Heart and until we meet again, I hope this feeling will last. Please be nice to those people I love, please make life easy for them to live alive and save the best place for those who deserve it. I will come again, InsyaAllah.
You haven't lost me yet.
Truly, Deeply and Madly in Love,
Ieka, 28 Dec 09' - 26 Apr 10'.
