This blog is dedicated to all of my friends and those considering moving to Malaysia after years of living abroad. When I left the UK in December 2009 (intending to start a new life in Malaysia), many people were intrigued to know how life would unfold for me, how we would cope as a family and our experiences. In some ways, I am like a 'test case'; although I'm sure there have been many test cases before but, I thought I would share some of my thoughts and experiences.
I kept daily notes of my experiences and feelings. However, I couldn't put them in a blog yet. My first few weeks/months were filled with uncertainties and emotional turmoil. I wasn't sure if things were going to work and I didn't want my blog to end with a conclusion of “failed attempt”. I needed to settle down more and to at least, be slightly certain that things could potentially work-out, that there was light at the end of the tunnel and good news to be spread; inshaAllah.
Hence, here I am...two months later...things are not completely settled and I am still burdened by various worries and concerns. However, I am sure of one thing; Alhamdulillah we've made the right choice. Sometimes I still have a momentary doubt but that's just for a second or two.
Within this blog I share my thoughts and experiences of relocating back to Malaysia after 17 years being abroad in London.

Hi Dr farari,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the wonderful sharing and get to know you are a recent converted Muslim.
i would like to ask isit a must to come back as a specialist or can just be MO alone?
Do you face difficulties in registering considering that your husband is non Malaysian and your children who are raised elsewhere with a MatSalleh spouse?
Thanks.
