To Li Lin,

1 more term to Graduation

Its mid term break now. really need it to sort of my shits. but even now. theres still so much to do!
i haven't sort out my AIESEC plans, nor on my applications etc.

Dad hasn't been sending $$$ over, that affected a lot of my plans.. because that would be what I am going to use as my 'capital' to go on exchange from here. But even nw, i am having trouble to pay rent (to Jo Ann) and survive. If not because I did some work I would have been starving on the roadside while walking home from the city because I can't pay the bus fare anymore.... x_x

anyways, JA is leaving back to KL tmr... actually in 3hrs' time. I still rmb that day when she rang me while I was in Uni to ask me to transfer money for her. I came back early that day and she told me that shes going home in Sept.... and that happened like she said she wont be going back this year a few weeks back

Ka Seong and Jack(y) is coming on Friday

Going to watch Hairspray with Amanda tmr

Audit is done, supposed to meet up with Phil today, but he ffk me.. x_x

what else? bought 3 baguettes for the price of $6. CHEAP CHEAPP CHEAPP!! hahah that made my day.. i always feel so happy buying cheap baguettes... its like.. cheating.. (Robbie)

Anyways... I was walking back the other day.. and I feel good about the things I've done thus far with my background. of course when you compare with the locals, what I done would be nothing... but to me, myself, and how I've gone through it, its more than acceptable to me. few things that could have done better is that : worked for another month in Atlas, did more volunteering work in KL.


dled master of orion 2 and x-com
classics are still the best :)


love life love life love life!

Good Friday

Almost perfect day!

Woke up, breakfast + raymond! How good is that for a start?!?

Packed some food... (which later was being teased by Jen that its unhealthy.. donut peanut butter jelly sandwich and a cookie +yogurt) and head off to uni!!! for like 2mins... (before i turn back for a spoon for the yogurt) then i really head off to the uni!

anyways, it was a really slow day and dull one... i wasnt really happy with myself that I wasn't doing anything in the morning.. till Jen gave me her BROWNIESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! yummy!!!!!!!

met up with Ek and my mentees! :D
follow up:- resume assistance for my mentees!! :D

in the end, helped mindie cleaned the office.. i really enjoyed her company =) you can't pissed her off, no matter how hard u try...

Only regret of the day was that I didnt ask mindie if i could grab a bite of her quiche.. lol

> I've heard abour your plan of returning to Malaysia IMMEDIATELY after your > graduation. Well, will you let us know why you are not planning to stay in> Australia ato find job to get a few years experience before returning to MY?
Why? Because I prefer to work in Malaysia than here. I prefer staying and living in Malaysia than anywhere else at this moment. My frens are going back and I really want to work back in KL as well. If i really want the experience, I will come back or work abroad in other countries next time.

> Do you know working in Australia is a privledge that a lot of other> Malaysians have no opportunity of doing so.
So? I never ask for this opportunity. I am grateful but it is not what I want. i am not one of that many Malaysians who seek this priviledge.

I took the time to find a few jobs that may suitable for you. > Please at least take a look at them because I spent my very busy time to > find them for you.

I do have a lot of time and I can find it myself and I DID find myself works in Australia for this semester to apply. I applied for many jobs but I haven't heard anything back. Dad thinks that it is an issue with my resume, which I've checked with career counselors and employment service officer. It is a standard template which you can actually find from the internet. So there is no issue with my resume. I am and will look for more jobs tomoro for this semester.

I never asked you to look for me or spend your very busy time to do this, which I am grateful. Thanks but you can use your free time on your busy needs. I appreciate it but at the same time, I don't need it. I am finding jobs and if you think it is my fault that I am not getting one.. then maybe it is

Why are you saying that Malaysia is the worst place in the work to work? Have you work there before? How high is the living expenses, compared to Melbourne, Brisbane and Sydney? Even if it is a hard day-to-day work, I would like to take that as an experience.

I DO think about my OWN future. Like you said, its my OWN future and i OWN it. I am stubborn. I have the right to choose what I want to do, whether I will regret it or not, I regret it by choice. This is what I want for my future. You can give me guidance, yes. It is up to me to accept your guidance or not. Please don't push me to do something I don't want. You and dad have been doing that since I finished high school. I agree that some of the guidance you provide are good, but at the same time, I do regret not doing things that I wanted more. Like now, I do regret not doing ALevels and having the choice of going to UK or US, which is what I wanted more. But its okay, everything is an experience. I can't feel sad about my choice to Australia because I wouldn't know how would it be like in UK or US. Same thing here, Malaysia might not be good, but I'll never know till I try it out. I might make mistakes, but thats where I can learn about myself more.

Thanks.

No, I won't look at them as I am not planning to stay here after graduation!

So what if its work experience abroad, earning alot more money than here? Those are important but to me now, what I want now is important to me. I may earn alot but I won't be happy staying here. Not now. Its my life and I feel that I need to start making my own choices, this is where I start.

I have my own plans to travel and do work exchange next year, or maybe apply to work as Malaysia MC for AIESEC, in a part time role and work part time as well. I don't think that I will be looking for an actual graduate job when I go back. I want to work some odd jobs and save up some money before I go on exchange in the mid-year. I really want to visit other countries next year as I think that it is a good time to do so.

i never tell you all any of these because i expect your reaction would be to discourage me. i don't like that because everytime you all do that, i give up. i don't want that to happen anymore. so what if I can't give you good reasons to stay in KL (because a rational person will pick the money, i choose the values i seek) , so what if my future is still blurry now (i have options, but I haven't decided on which one), it is something i want. please.


I need you all to let this go and be supportive for once at least. I want to go back to Malaysia. If it is really that bad, at least I've experienced it and I am satisfied. I won't regret it because it is what I want. No matter how great Australia is, thats not what I want now. I know you all want the best for me, but maybe thats not what I want.

If I stay here I know I will regret and keep wondering for the rest of life how my life would have been different if I moved back...

I am happy and looking foward to go back to KL. I can see my friends, food, life. I can travel around to places I have yet to visit. I can see my australian friends coming to visit me and taking them around, eating food. I see myself having so much to offer to any companies that i work with in KL. I feel so much more confident and comfort. I value these things much more than what high income can give me. These are things that money can't buy.

And in the end, if you earn a lot of money, and you are not happy with your life, whats the point?

adverts :(

mmm... after being told abt tis so long, i finally took time during what could be my most crucial/busiest weekend to read thru and get more info on this advertising stuff...

i read it thru.. and the concept for advertlets is much better than nuff... maybe because it has less requirements....

i was kinda reluctant to put adds here.. seeing how i treasure this blog alot... that it might temper with the personal feel of the blog.. but in the end.. a 'moving image' on the side bar wouldn't do no harm i suppose...

anyways.. will look for more adds etc... when i m free
going to shower nw and start on my busy schedule!

looking foward to tonight. =) someone special is going to allocate time to chat with me..

muahahahahaaha

ending of one, beginning of another

i'm back from melbourne... was there frm 5th - 17th july... for AIESEC conference as well as to have to some fun.. its my first time in Melbourne

i was really nervous/anxious waiting for my results... but thank god everything is okay. (i've got 2 credits and 1 pass)

I had fun in Melb, thanks to Wii.. LoL.. jk jk.. I think that its really comfy to have a group of people/friends that you can just be crazy and have a big laughter. I haven't had that before in adelaide with the people here. It feels really good, when I went out with cw n gf, joseph n gf and my "gf", jack... I enjoyed their company, a lot.

i've tried muDShake, which is vodka + chocolate drink... which to me, taste just like chocolate milk, but cheaper by a few cents.. lol

i think the transportation in melb is better only because it is more frequent..

anyways, i learnt alot about AIESEC and myself during the conference. for e.g. I like to dance... like those line dances that we have in the conference, but not those clubbing dance.. I've danced to most of the energiser dance during the con whilst only join in to 'shake my booty' for a few minutes during the party hour.

I've learnt that MC is something i really want to be part of, though I'm not sure if I could, I will definitely apply for it.

I know that I still need to improve a lot on my communication, selling skills (Ideally I should practice everynight, maybe I will after I m not so sick.. :P )

I think the Skolling was one of the best time in Melbourne. We were all chanting and yelling "A-U , AU AU AU, A-U, A-U" I lost my voice that nice.. but it was fun. The atmosphere was incredible. 200+ people gathering at some suburb pub in the middle of nowhere at some less than 10 degrees late at night.... it was something memorable. We were so close to coming first, but sometimes its just bad luck. I wonder how it would be w/o Karo.. lol. She borrowed me her scarf which I did not buy ($12 for something too plain and that I might not use unless I travel to somewhere which is in winter is not worth it)

I've met alot of people. Like Heidi who is a Malaysian that lives in Singapore for most parts of her life, can't speak malay and not sure whether she wants to stay or go back to SE Asia. But I reckon she would be staying seeing how she is doing Law as well...

I've met Try (pronounced as Tree) , who I can say is one of the guys that I like to see again. Doubt that'll happen unless I go to WANCON this year...

I like to come back again for July Con 08, just because I want to see Anne's, Chloe's and Kate's MC Farewell speech, plus meeting up with the AU guys again. wud be awesome. but will see hw. need $$$.

Took the bus home on 17th. met up with everyone, Soo Ching, Hui Ling, Joanne. wrote a thank you note for Jack. Spent both CCW and Jack on cheap meals as gesture of thank you.

I walked around the city for the whole day, from 12 - 5ish i think... Walked frm Cw's house to Melb Museum/IMAX - City (Lunch) - Fitzroy Garden - Federation Sq. (Pixar) - home

at 3am wednesday morning, i soooo could have been left out in the middle of nowhere. the bus stopped, i went down to the shop and see wats there. i came out. saw the bus leaving. fuck fuk fuck! ran. knocked the bus. thank gawd. sat down. smiled. thought of what i would do it i did get stuck.... smiled that it was an experience.

things i rmb on the bus, beautiful stars up in the sky. really sweet. each star = 1 planet. I can't wait till the day when we have habitat on both moon n mars... ;)

The End of Semester 1
