THE STAR CAFE

I have just sent Mum to the airport and she is going to depart at 1.05am, and will be transiting in Singapore. Well, I really miss her. I realized this when I got back to my house. For the last 3 days, she stayed at home and waited for me to come back from uni. I’m pretty sure that she doesn’t like to stay at home and what she did for these 3 days was watch the Hong Kong series^^ I knew it’s a waste of time. However, I feel so warm and sweet when I knew there is someone who is waiting for me to get back home after finishing my full day lectures and tutorials.

Mum has helped me a lot in tidying my new rented room. Well, it’s not really big, but at least, I have a better environment for study. It’s much quieter compared to Erica. Mum has been putting so much effort and attention on me although I used to say that she loves to work and always leave me at home. But I knew she cares about me so much. If you know her, I’m sure you will say that too.

Mum has taken her 13 days holiday and according to Sean Che, her table is fully loaded with tones of paper work. I miss everyone in Penang, including Papa, Mama, Koko, Che Che, my neighbor(uncle and aunty), my ex best friend(I don’t know if she’s still my best friend or I’m still her best friend).

I just don’t understand her. It hurts…. Seriously. She likes to do what she likes and she doesn’t care if her words are hurting me. Haha^^ That was so ridiculous. A few weeks back, I have received a text message early in the morning from her. And the first sentence that I have read was “Are you treating me as your best friend?” And my first thought was “What the hell, are you serious? How can you ask me such question? This is crazy!!” *Sigh* I have no idea. I’m so tired about this. She is my best best friend in my life and now, she said this to me!! Goshh….. we knew each other since we were in Standard 1. It’s really amazing for me to have such a good friend who I used to talk to. But people change. Nah…I shouldn’t say this. I should say that I’m the one who still doesn’t change.

The only thing that I can say is LIFE IS SUCH. Haha^^ sounds old. But it’s true. We can’t expect people to change based on our likes. We are the one who need to change to suite people and the society. I was talking to one of my housemates, Wan Zhi. According to her, there is a group or association, I’m not too sure, a total of 25 persons have set up this group and their purpose is to educate the high school students to be alert about our world. I think it’s an interesting project and what they need right now is voluntary workers. I’m actually interested in this kind of activity. It benefits me in different aspects. Hmmm….but I’m worried that I can’t make it. My timetable for this semester is more terrible than the previous one. I just need to spend most of my time in uni >.<

Hello everyone!! It has been a long time that I did not blog. Haha=P Well, Mum is in Perth with me, she has spent about 13 days with me in Perth. And I don't get to blog at home. It's raining all the time here. Rain, Rain, Please go away. It's hard for me to travel from one place to the other one. Today is my second day of class. Hmmm.....And yesterday was my first day of class, of course. Haha^^ The feeling of getting back to Uni, starting a new semester is really great although this semester will be more terrible than the previous one.

I am taking 4units for this sem and 2 of them are the subjects that I am really weak in. Another subject which is EFDP is sort of boring, it's all about reports. This suject trains all of the studdent engineers to be familiar to the reports that we're going to write when we are working. Well, it's a great training, but it has weekly assignments and reflective writtings. Goshh........ another subject will be MATHS!!!!!! And the most exciting thing is that SAMY will be my lecturer(he's the funniest lecturer ever^^).

Haih…… Haih….. I have no idea that what can I do except for sighing. Well, I have just moved into my new house which is located at Parmeston Street. It’s a nice place which is well decorated and maintained by the owner. Honestly, I like the environment of this current place. Grapes, oranges, lemons and especially chili padi(haha^^ my top priority) can be found in the garden. An excellent view from my room windows is actually my main reason of moving into this house as it looks more like a home than a rented house. It seemed to be a comfortable place for me to study and to stay at. But surprisingly, I’m sighing but not cheering. Alright, it’s not really a big matter. This is the matter of how do I handle my inner journey. I wouldn’t want to elaborate about this matter. I will just take it as a challenge.

Things are not as easy as what we have expected. I knew that I am a sensitive person. Well, it might be a good thing, but it might not be. When someone says something, I think that he or she might have had this thought before. I found it true for most of the people. Of course, I can’t conclude that everyone acts this way. Today, I have actually acted calmly. I would say that this is the day that I have acted most calmly in my life, seriously. Most of the things seemed to be happening ridiculously within these few days(yes…I sound sarcastic, and I do!!).

A new inner journey, I have just undergone. Life, people, behaviors, actions, attitudes, mindset, environments, pressures(eg. Peer pressure), and also self consciousness are all connected tightly. If any of these changes slightly, our life will be affected too, either it’s a huge or a minor change. Hmmmm…… a good day(as in the weather), a worse day(as in I have cried today). It has been a long time that I don’t cry since I have broken up with my ex boyfriend. Well, it was hard for me to get through it. And now, interpersonal skills are important to me. The process of building up my own character is actually an important lesson for me to learn as people take their whole life time to find out what’s life. Why do they want to spend time on this?

Alright, I will elaborate this part some other time. And it’s time to bed!! Nitez^^

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.

助人为快乐之本！！

I wanted to blog yesterday but I didn't manage to do it. I went for dinner with Che che, Ko ko, and Camy. Che Che is supposed to pick me up from my house at 6.30pm. But she was early. she came at 5.50pm. I was not prepared as I was watching movies. She brought me to her house and treated me dim sum. I told her that I did not take my lunch so that i could eat more for dinner. Haha^^ she thought it was true. Anyway, we were talking at the dining room and at the same time, Ko ko and Camy have reached home. Che che planned to bring us to the swiss restaurant which is located at the Armenian Street (if i'm not wrong). It was closed on Mondays and Che Che stopped the car at the road side. We were thinking of where to eat and what to eat. Ko ko was making some fun that he said, "Lets have the hokkien mee which its stall is located at the T-junction of this road." Haha^^ During our journey, as usual, me and Camy who are the loud-speaker have made lots of noise. And also with Ko ko and Che che, especially Ko ko, I can say that his Siao-ness keeps on increasing even he started to work last year. Haha^^

This is what brother and sisters for. All of us are facing and going through different challenges and obstacles outside. But when we are gathered, we are still 'WE'. I like this feeling very much. Since Ko ko started to work last year, I can actually feel that things change. I used to think that my family members don't concern about me. But this is not anyone's fault. Everyone is busy with their own life. They are also forced to work in order to survive int his competitive society.

Yesterday, Mum got her SQ air ticket and she will be going to Perth with me. I am quite looking forward and we have started to pack our stuffs yesterday night!! Sen che was helping me to fold my clothes. I used to call her "阿四" and she used to call me "细妈". Haha^^ I have realized something, that is the relationship between me and Sen Che and even Tua Che has improved since I left for Australia. In the beginning, I thought that our relationship will be getting worse as I am not in Malaysia. Surprisingly, we have been doing a great job!!!! I know Mum feels happy seeing all of us are working out perfectly.

Hey friends.... I have just created my first blog!! I have been thinking of creating blog since I went to Perth and I have been telling my friends that I will be setting up one. But I didn't make it. And now, I have just decided to blog. Things are happening but I am sure I couldn't remember all.

Well... I just came back from KL yesterday in the afternoon and Jia Ling picked me up from the airport. I am quite tired as I have been walking all the time in KL, doing some shoppings with my family. I was looking forward as I thought that i will be getting lots of clothes in KL. Unfortunately, I didn't buy anything except for an IKEA lamp^^

It was raining heavily in KL this afternoon when I was on my way to the KL airport. Sean Che and I were watching Forensic Heroes2 in the car and I was kind of dizzy when we reached the airport. We have waited for an hour plus and started to board. I saw Camy's Mum and sis in the plane. The world is small. We took the same flight on Friday night and that's the day when I saw Camy and Koko at the airport.
