Back on track

I'm getting used to the life in KL, leave behind the anytime, anywhere life in Melbourne. The people around you does makes much difference to how you see the place you're put in.

Jst came back from a weekend trip from Hatyai. Mum and dad wanted to go there for a short holiday, so Jiaxin and Yim Mun went along with us. It was our first trip together after knowing each other for so long. It was good and knowing Hatyai, it's all abt eating and buying. Cheap and Good!!! As a result, I think I brought back a few kgs and a pimply face due to the delicious/spicy food.

Breaking news! Gen told me that she have decided to move to Hong Kong for good. It was a topic we have been talking since long ago. Both of us were thinking of working in HK in a few years time and hope to stay together. HAHHAHAHA...Can't believe she's going there first to start her new life. It takes a lot of courage to make the decision. Really happy for her, hope tht I'll be there with her in 2-3 years time. My passion is getting stronger and after hearing this news, it adds on to my enthusiasm to develop my career there at some stage. Provided that I have the opportunity. Dear, miss you heaps, come back asap and spent time together before you leave.

She asked me to join her and I really want to, especially when I still have the strength and young. But comes to think of it, there are so many issues and circumstances to consider. Leaving things behind and all. Mum and dad are supportive when they know I have the intension to work in HK. I guess my consideration is really my all time favorite guy. Yes, the guy who has been with me all these years. Mentioned to cc abt it and he jst turned silent and said 'What about me?'. Gen, you're right, cc will curse you if he knows you're encouraging me to work there. AHAHAHAHHAHAHA...

Home

I'm convinced tht I'm finally home when the hot air in KLIA swamped onto my face. Wow! So this is it, home...

Everytime I reach home, I know I'll be leaving again in either a months' time or three months later. But this time, I know I'm not leaving anymore. I'm still in the midst of adapting myself to the not returning to Melbourne emotion. Tuning myself into a new set of feelings and to settle down.

It's good to be home, besides the restrictions and weather. Good to catch up with old time friends, recall the old days, and know that they are the ones who will support and keep you going as always.

As for my parents, what's better than to know that their daughter is finally home after years of hard work?!! The best part is that they don't have to spend AUD anymore. However, life wouldn't be balance without the not so good part. Mum has bombarded me with the potential dangers of going out late and driving alone. Been telling me everyday and night. I have my curfew and I guess she need not worry much coz I don't even have the energy and will to go out.. ;p She has been putting newspaper on my bed everyday so tht I'll read them. To proved that I've read them, she'll test me once in a while. *_*

I'm exhausted. The best cure is to see the people who're able to cheer you up. Seeing him, seeing her, seeing them...Through his eyes, we know this is the moment we have been waiting for and he's not going to let you leave anymore. Best thing was to witness that we have passed the test of time *blush* The hugging and cuddling part are the sweetest moments. The way he adores you, his eyes, his hugs, and his words instantly melts my heart. The feelings are back and you know he's still the one. Nothing beats the say of your heart.

And of coz the much anticipated moment was to finally see my precious after months, it was a energy boost ^^ It feels good to pounce on each other *wink* More to come...Btw, you melt my heart too. Can't keep things going on the right track without you around *wink*

My job hunt process was one of the highlights too. Supposed to go for an informal interview on Friday, but it was postponed to two weeks later. Currently wondering whether I shld apply for other companies or stay focus on my dream company. Mmmmmm...

Currently suffering from sorethroat and flu. This shows that I'm back to KL for real as I'll only catch severe sorethroat and fever when I'm in KL. Symptoms for the past 22 years *LOL*

Just for...

Franco,

You're the only guy who will and can play with me like e way we used to. The only guy besides my boyfriend who can be so close to me. I guess we are just the perfect example to show that friendship does exist in the opposite sex. From the first day I met you till now, we've grown and friendship developed. A deep and sincere friendship which I can nvr find in another guy friend. Still remember we said fate has brought all of us together. RMIT has brought all of us to spark off the friendship. I'll definitely miss the days when you commented on my clothings, our times shopping together, thinking what to cook for dinner, clubbing, hairstyle, criticising celebrities, and yr invisible 'protection' on me^^... The days when we were just one msn message away and I'll be down waiting for you to go out. Understand you have been tolerating w all my nonsense and occasional ignorance on you due to my scorp-ION temper and characteristics. But I'm actually listening to what you said, just tht I'm not good at respoding at times. You have been by my side for four years and now, the day we've always mentioned finally arrived. The day when I'm going bck to my own country to continue my life and the day when we need to say goodbye to each other. The friendship meant a lot to me. I'm looking forward to my visit to hk again and yr drop by in kl. Continue to update each other abt news k (entertainment, sex, food, places, my idols...etc)^^


Richie,

Wehhhhhh...By the time you read this, I can predict that you will have this 'Your face cannot go' expression on meaty cheek face^^hahahahhahaha...seriously, you're another really close guy friend of mine, which I've nvr thought we will be. (Due to your...lol) Days of knowing you were short, but friendship has developed deeply. I'll miss the days whn you talks abt yr cold jokes and I'll be thr laughing once you finish yr jokes, the days when you criticised me from top to toes^^, the days when we waited for each other at rmit bookshop, and the days when I dragged you for another shot during clubbing. Of course, also the days when you 'Hanahhhh' me, and say 'Your face cannot go'...Understand yr feeling after we leave, but dun worry k, promised that we will keep in touch and all of us will still stay close. I still need to count on you to direct Sepek VI and employ me as your DOP^^ 'Fatso, your face cannot gooooooo!!!'


All Melbourne friends,

You guys have no idea how much fun times I've had with all of you. Birthdays together, slumber parties, festival celebrations, eating in and out...etc...Those were the days are the most precious thing during my stay here in Melbourne. You guys are the friendships which I've nvr encounter before bck home. The difference in thinking, the way we communicate, the jokes, and the help we gave each other. Hearing you guys swearing to each other with no offence. Hhahahahaha...I miss all of you. All friends from Melbourne, especially those from Hong Kong. I'm missing the days already, missing all of you. The hardest part is to say goodbye to so many of you which I think some I'm not going to see forever. Comes to think of that, it really saddens me.


All of you were the best part of the uni stage of my life. I'm glad to have known all of you who came from different countries. Please take care and all the best in your coming future. For those who had promised to come for my wedding in the future, please remember!!! I'll send you all invitations^^ Special hugs to all of you

My last weekend in Melbourne

Finally, I'm officially done with all exams and assignments, unofficially declared myself as a grad student. When I handed in my last fashion assignment, all I had in mind was: 'Hmmm,is that it? Is that how it feels?'

The heavy, uncomfortable feeling is still staying warm and cosy in my heart but I can't say what is it. I guess it's just the transition period and it takes time to adapt to it. I'm pretty much done with everything, packed up most of my stuff into cartons, once they are off to the forwarders tmr, I'm pretty much just waiting to fly home. The real home I've not been leaving permanently for the past few years. The real home I'm going to live permanently for the rest of my life. The real home which I will continue my journey by adding interesting colors into it.

Had dinners and bid my goodbyes with some of the friends. Mmmmmm, it was not easy. But that's part of life. Who likes to say the word goodbye to friends? It's never easy to say goodbye.

I'm really looking forward to spend more time with cc to patch things up. To reorganise bits and pieces of puzzles left out during the past few years. Realised how important it is to have someone you love beside you, be there whenever you need him. Feelings on him fluctuates. But him, being the only one who can bring me onto a emotional rollercoaster ride, I guess I'm pretty much addicted to him. I wonder what will happen? Things might work out, or, it might not work well. Hmmmmm...We'll see!

Watched Poseidon today and surprisingly, it was good! Good as in you have no time to think or to settle down your thoughts. No space to work out what will be their next step. At least the things they did make sense to me and it's not like:'WooooW, look at this stunt! Look at that special effects!' Instead, I was like: 'Eeeewww, that's painful! OMG! That hurts!' I felt sad for the passengers on board actually.

Currently: Predicting my feelings when I stepped out of KLIA...

And on and on...

Bid my second goodbye to another friend today- Sze Sze!!!

Sze is a friend I knew from Foundation Studies, also my ex-housemate. She will be returning to Adelaide tomorrow and head to Sydney in July to continue her studies. She initiated a dinner where most of us from FS attended. 11 of us sitting on the round table, as though we owned the restaurant. Everyone was taking photos, laughing and talking abt the old days. When I looked closer, only I realised how much we've all grown. Especially when Sze took out her autograph book which we wrote for her two years ago. Sze Sze, I'll miss yr bread pudding and corn fish.

It's exactly seven days away for my departure from Melbourne. I'm not feeling that much yet since I still have an exam and one assignment to worry about. But at the same time, I realised that I'm starting to pay more attention on the shops I walked pass in Melbourne and the places I eat in. Knowing that this place has accompanied me through a very important stage of my life.

There are many people and things I'm looking forward to bck home. My loved ones, my career, my future and my life. The line shld be: 'Ahhhhh,finally I'm done! The day I nvr thought I could make it...' But I guess it's harder to leave behind the trillions of memories I had on this place and the adaptation process. It's exceptionally hard when I think of the great friendships developed with all of you!!!

I've not even step out of Melbourne and I can already predict the emptiness I would come across after I leave this place. I wonder what will be the first thing I'd do when I reach KL. Get used to the hot and humid weather!!! I'm gonna miss four season in Melbourne for sure!!! I think I'm going to miss thinking our everyday dinner menu and msn-ing w Franco to wait downstairs for lunch/dinner. I'm going to miss seeing Richie's 'cannot go' face. Realised that he's going through this friends going home blues too...Dun worry Fatso, you'll nvr be forgotten^^ I'm going to miss having slumber parties. I'm really going to miss celebrating birthday for friends in group and vice versa. It just feels good when everyone will plan for your birthday without having you to worry about. It's not like you have to invite people to celebrate with you. This is a tradition we have been practising and I learnt since I came to Melbourne.^^

Congratulations!

"Under the witness of parents and friends present, we now declare Calvin and Elina as husband and wife."

You have no idea how much I felt when I heard this sentence. Today is El's and Calvin's wedding registration today. Headed to Old Treasury Building this morning to participate El's big day. Friends and families congratulated them one after another and finally, I saw the pair of pearl shoes and the dress she bought since last year. She looks gorgeous and filled with contented smile when I saw her. She just looked so different. Different not physically, but the happiness and feeling of going- to-be wife.

I nearly cried El's father walked her down the aisle and handed her to Calvin. The song, the atmosphere and the people around just added to my feelings. Never expect to have that feeling. June and I was like 'Oh my god, this is so exciting...' The vow both of them wrote to each other was so touching. When they read out, I think Calvin nearly cried but El was funny. Knowing her 100 types of facial expressions. They exchanged their rings, kissed each other and is now official husband and wife. Finally, from the day I know her till now, she's married, after all the plannings and discussions. And this is my first time attending a friend's wedding.

My heart just went 'Awwwwww...' when Calvin said to Elina: 'I promised that you will be the priority in my life.'

I wished someone will make this promise to me when my day comes...*wink*
