Just a thought!
As I read Sarah's blog and her good news today, I feel so excited for her. Yipppeee.....I really hope she gets through her final selection to go Japan!! I can already imgine the glow in her face and her excitement at this moment! Being her roomie in uni days, I guess it has always been our passion to study abroad and to explore the world. Well, the experience that I had while studying in Perth was indeed both enriching and fantabulous man.....
I remember the last minute preparations that I had to make before I flew off. I left in such a haste, settled so many things i.e paid back my firm, packed my bags....and had my e-visa, medical check-up and renewal of passport done all in 3 miraculous days. Haha! Anyway, felt like dejavu reading Sarah's blog and identifying all the hassle and preparations that she has to go through......
I guess I didn't quite know the meaning of "independent" until I was so far away from home. But, praise God, he took care of all my needs and provided everything that I ever needed! Met multitudes of characters from all walks of life there. Befriended the young and old, rich and poor, Aussies and other foreign students and whatever, whover you name it!Life was really good there, people were so courteous and really sweet, the Australian laid-back culture was an eye opener to me, but "adaptability" is the word.... I adapted, practised, adored and love it all the more.......but coming back home, I found myself missing the Aussie culture so much with all the traffic and rush in KL.....to say the least, it was a rude shock coming back home and experiencing the ever unpleasant traffic, hearing foul languages from the young and old alike.......no more fresh scent of lilies and tulips in the garden, no more beautiful beautiful flowers to make me smile!
Haha...ok, so much for that little thought.....back to work now!
