THE STAR CAFE

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SEN CHE!!! Today is Sen Che's birthday. Well, We didn't have any special celebration but we will be having our dinner tonight at Salsas which is the restaurant that I like. It is raining heavily outside. I went to renew my I/C in the morning and came back home as the maid is coming at 1.30pm I guess. I feel like staying at home these few days. I will be leaving to Australia tomorrow night. I remembered the day I left for Perth, if I'm not wrong, it was 9th of February, which is the third day of Chinese New Year. I had a mixed feeling, I was excited, and yet I am not willing to leave Mum. I know I will be missing her very much. When I was at the airport, many of my relatives and friends came for the farewell. Guys, THANKS for coming. I will always remember the moment I went in the international enterance. That day was the beginning of my other journeys in my life, which are my physical and inner journey.

Well, honestly, I felt that I have managed my time in Australia properly. However, I think I should spend more time in my studies. I was actually being playful in my first semester. As Mum said, I'm playful, I'm playful as in I don't like to stay at home, I like to look around the places, being an adventurous person. Haha^^ In the first semester, I have scored 1 Credit, 3 Distinction and 1 High Distinction. This result has freaked me out!!! I have never expected that I could score this result as I didn't study much. Seriously, I did not manage to finish my revision before I sat for the papers. I found out that I have changed mentally, I think this is caused by the environment that I am staying at. On the other hand, physically, I have changed a lot!! I have gained a few kilograms(it's caused by the Tim-Tams and Smith's)^^ It was a tremendous change when I was back in Penang. Everyone was shocked with my physical change.

Yesterday, I went to the coffee shop which is locatd outside of my house. When I was buying Rojak(Penang's local food), I saw an old man, I guess he is at the age of 70 to 75, he dropped his 50cents and didn't manage to find it. His daughter-in-law has asked him not to worry about the 50cents as she had another one in her pocket. This old man was not bothering her words and kept on looking for the 50cents. The first taught that came into my mind was, this old man might have gone through some hard time, and 50cents is still valuable. In old days, we can get a bowl of Hokkien Mee with 20cents according to Mum. Well, I bent down and looked under the car, the 50cents was under the car. I picked up for the old man and he looked excited and thanked me. Haha^^ the feeling of making the others happy is awesome.
