And so it BEGINs..............

hmmm... this is wierd... never ever thought of starting a blog myself. never even had the habit of keeping a diary before. So this is completely foreign territory for me...


guess I just have too much free time on my own now... No groups of friends to hang out with... No ngo hiang to keep me company... No family members to get together with... Life just seems so empty and aimless now...

Perhaps I can try to organise my thoughts and share it with my love ones? At least it sounds better than surfing the internet, not knowing which website to go to and having to revisit friendster for the god-knows-how-manyth time in 1 day...

Hmmm... Let me stop and assess what I am missing now....

No more timetable to follow the whole day through. No instructor to bark orders down your throat. No men coming to you because of some issue. No OC shooting arrows in your direction. No buddy giving you a call to jio you out for fun...

A lot of things have been removed from my life. I guess I still need some time to adjust to this foreign land far far away from home......

Now... Let me see what I have to do...

A lot of new friends to get to know = A lot of socialising to be done... (But somehow I'm just sick & tired of going through the socialising motions. I guess I'm more than happy with my current group of friends back home. I feel like these people will become my lifelong friends...) A lot of new habits to pick up, eg: picking up books again; picking up the ability to speak without adding any hokkien expletives into a sentence; picking up the ability to speak without ending my sentence with a la or a lor; picking up the ability to speak up during lessons for the sake of speaking up; picking up the ability to tune my ears to the funny Aussie accent that is now ubiquitous; picking up the habit of doing my own laundry; picking up the habit of NOT ordering every other thing in the menu...

Hmmm... That looks like a looooong list of stuff to accomplish... Am I up to the task?
God knows....

Only time will tell... So many aspirations... So many hopes to fulfill... So many expectations to live up to... So many stigmas to live with... So many hurdles to overcome...

Guess that's life... Just suck it up... Grind your teeth and....
SMILE =)

Yup! Boy are you glad to be ALIVE?

Nope...? Hah! I thought so too....
