First Day in SAE

I almost overslept this morning, not wanting to wake up for my first day in SAE.. I was too tired, didn't had enough sleep yesterday night. Maybe I was being a little excited, haha.. Kept waking up middle of the night, wishing the clock could tick faster.

It was great to see almost half my evening class people were there.. Terina, Dean, Evan, Erin, Sophie, Serkan, Daniel, Craig, Geoff.. wooow! And the rest of the class were the morning class and afternoon class people. Well, all JMC students. I was the only ASIAN and INTERNATIONAL student in the class. This never happened before, be it in Deakin or JMC but that doesn't really bother me, I'm used to it since last year for being the 1 out of 4 asians and 1 out of 2 international students in the class. And there.. Haha.. Just me now! This is exactly why I wanted to study in Australia. Being totally isolated from where I came from, where everyone just express and voice out what they wanted to say. FREELY. This is something I'll never experience in Malaysia. I don't want to just sit down in the classroom staring and listening to the lecturer while my hand is busy copying notes. Personally I felt that asians are not very good in expressing themselves. I'm one of them. Hehe.. So, in this "art-related" course, I need loads of artistic ideas and people who are willing to speak their heart out to feel the music..

My lecturer - Chris. He can speak for ages and won't get thirsty! *Salute* Today was all about introduction and abit of orientation. What I can only remember hearing for the whole 3 hours was: "There are 2 sides of me, one side is the nice side which you follow my rules and the other side is you'll get fucked." That was from my lecturer. It just blast out of his mouth. Aussie..

Blog again laters..

Jay Day

I was up at 7am.. Abit of jetlag I suppose. But managed to sleep again till 12 noon today! I need to meet up with one of my dad's old fren's daughter to pass her some stuff. As what her mum told me, please take care of her daughter during her absence. Hehe.. It wasn't that bad, I understand how one will feel to be away from home, to a new place, adapt to new culture etc etc. So.. I waited for her for almost 1 hour ++ because she lost her way. No big deal.. I was enjoying myself by standing a side, being amazed by the crowd of international students in Melbourne! Gosh, it was.. hell lot.

I went to shop for groceries. I love to buy food. I love to see food being stocked up in the cupboard. Haha.. That makes me feel HOME. Well.. I spent the rest of the afternoon and evening listening to JAY's song.. I feel good now.. Hopefully the neighbours were out! Or they'll be shutting their ears!

Back in Mel.. AGAIN..

I was wondering.. When will be the last time I'll fly back here?? As usual, I was bored in the journey back yesterday, I couldn't help asking myself over and over again why I am here! Of course I was here to study, but why here.. somewhere so far away from home. I guess I haven't really ready to get involve in the working world or I really like being here..?

I wasn't enjoying myself in the plane. I left my heart back home, lying on the bed. I did not shed a single drop of tear infront of my family or even after that. But it was out of control when I reached my apartment where I cried like baby - unstoppable for few minutes. But now I'm fine again.. just me.

Direction-less

Don't really feel happy today. Maybe I was bored or something? Things were different this time round. Last time during my summer break home, I would make use of every single second to spend time with those people I loved. But this time round, all my friends are working and I left no one to go out with me. Well of course I did not expect them to entertain me all the time, just that I felt that at the age of 24, I should be doing something more than just sitting here doing nothing. Though I'm still a student now, but I felt that I should have more responsibility than being a student. Besides going out shopping, eat, sleep.. I haven't been doing a single thing which contribute to the society.

LIFE.. What's life man.. Mayb I need some pressure.. more responsibility.. earning money..

A week..

It has been a week since I came back from Melbourne. And again I felt great. I didn't have time to log in here. I was taking Dan to roam around KL the first few days since it was his first visit to KL. Brought him to twin tower the sky bridge on the day afterwe arrived. It was my first time up there too! Didn't know it was free! I almost freaked out when I reached 41st floor. Well, it was a good experience anyways.

Went up to genting for the day after. Skyway was out of service due to some scheduled maintenance. So I had to drive all the way up! It was rather cooling that day. Just spent time taking photos and took a few rides in the theme park and head home! Now I totally understand how tiring to host foreigners.

And then on the 3rd, after sending Dan off to the airport in the noon, we had to prepare for our big bro's surprise birthday party!! From preparing food to decorating the house.. was drop dead tired. The worse part was the cleaning up part. But as long as the birthday boy is happy.. its worth it.

What else.. for the past few days, I had been helping out alot for the house and everything for chinese new year. And I finally cleaned up my room yesterday! Now I felt great being in there. Comfy & cosy.
