Greetings! Oh man it felt like I haven’t been writing much but time really flies. Its been one hell of a hectic week, with assignments in hand; oh yes my project this semester is to design some sort of a hot air balloon centre which I’m extremely thrilled about. Apart from all that, its also one week of self discovery where I realized how some things are of good riddance, and sometimes I reflect too much negativity upon myself. You know how it is where you worry too much about work, then you end up feeling so lousy about yourself? High five on that if we have that in common.

I promise to write more this coming week, maybe thats what I need to get my mind thinking more positively. Times have changed quite a bit, when I look back to six weeks ago when I first arrived in Melbourne; I had so much fear in hand. That sort of fear that I might feel lonely, lost and out of place; whether I’ll be able to look after myself and cope with the work pressure, but hey I think I’m starting to understand what I want and the purpose of being here. It also helps that you meet new people which leads you to sharing more about yourself; then when I talk about it, it is sort of reassuring in someways like yeah I want to be here.

A friend once warned me about people changing after they leave the country; it is kinda true, but not exactly. Although I haven’t been here long enough to experience the full swing of the apparent change, but I always believe that there’s always a choice. If you come in as an individual who’s self assured or at least possess a sense of individuality, you won’t change; but you’d grow up.

I skyped with my dog, Brownthepom the other day. Our conversation was pretty two-way okay!

Over the weekend, I had a good catching up sessions with Cynthia, Cai Jin, Amanda and I kinda met this extremely awesome guy too wtf. Okay I know its weird to write about that, but I’ll write about it more later. To sum up my weekend, I think I’m about to set myself on fire. Its really important to have people who can help you put your troubles into perspective; well I can be a little self centered at times because I think think think so much that I end up getting caught in my own web of thoughts; but booom thats all it takes, great people in our lives.

Meeting that guy didn’t really leave that sort of oh my I’m in love kinda impact, but it made me feel foreign. Foreign in that sense where when we spoke about our lives, touching on my different ways back home; about being MissyCheerio, about the privileged live, about being so protected by the people around me, and how its all so different now. I chose to leave the country because I felt that I’ve accomplished everything I wanted, there wasn’t much left for me back home; at least not for my personal growth. We all have to move forward, and the problem with most people; they move forward but they stop at some point, never really pushing the boundaries to discover different sides about themselves.

I told him, I miss driving but I didn’t want to have that form of comfort here; hence I’m training myself with directions and enjoy the walk. As much as buying groceries can be a little torturing when I have to carry such heavy stuffs walking quite a distance to get home; I love it. Considering how I’d yell at my boyfriends back home to park somewhere close to the entrance of malls because I don’t like the long walk, this has gotta be something different right?

My parents always felt that I wasn’t responsible enough and I can’t look after myself. Hence they used to nag like 24/7 back home which obviously makes talking a little unpleasant because as children we always want to avoid them nagging right? Now I find myself loving my new self better because I have to manage my time between doing the laundry, preparing meals, keeping up with my studies, paying the bills and of course, staying happy.

Its never too late to be who you might have been.
I may panic, fall and crumble a lot; but I’ll never quit.
