Most wonderful memory of 2008

I was showering and wondered what had been the most memorable event in 2008 for me and i decided to give my vote to redang 2008 trip. It had given me a very beautiful and wonderful memory even till today no matter what happens. I shall let the pictures do all the talking on how much i miss you all.

Sue, i miss you. I know i shouldn't be rubbing it in but i really wish you had been on this exchange program with me. =(

"A princess in our heart she will always be,

Though sometimes is hard for us to see,


High and low in twirl and swirls,


We have finally found our sweetest girl!"

Alright, this all homesick feeling is all back in me now. Great thing that 1000 years senior is here in Aussie but just different part. He’s in Adelaide and I’m in Melbourne, but at least when I feel homesick, calling him and talking to him makes me feel a lot better. There’s this another person here in Aussie who I can call and make me feel better but I’m not so sure whether I can disclose the name. I’ll ask and if the answer is yes, I’ll let you all know who this person is. These two people never fails to make up my days during my first year first semester in Monash. Though we are all apart, but at least we are in the same country. And 1000 years senior, thanks for your encouragement, we’ll two make it through together.

I’m not going to continue writing, because if I do, it’ll be another emo post. Today will just be my room pictures post. Just to let you guys know how my room here is. =)

So let me tell you how smart was Lau Wai Chien today. Hehehe! Today is Tuesday, so there was this linen exchange thing which is provided to us but our bed is actually being made up like those hotel style, where it is layer and layer of blankets. It might sounds a bit confusing but just imagine if you are staying in a hotel room, that’s how my bed WAS when I first arrived. And now I couldn’t make it back the same way anymore. So in total it’s actually 2 bed sheets, 1 pillow case, 2 cotton blankets and this final “cover up” I will say. And this linen exchange is not everything also can bring to change, we are just only entitled to change the 2 bed sheets and the pillow case. Being a cleanliness freak, I might just as well wash everything on my own.
Alright, here’s the climax to the whole story. I brought the laundry to the laundry room and put in into the machine and I checked everything and turned the timing to 30 minutes and I pressed start. I returned after 25 minutes and since I was early, I started reading all the words written on the machine and I saw the word “DRYER”!

I PUT MY DIRTY LAUNDRY WITH DETERGENT INTO A DRYER!

So that’s how smart I was. Luckily our laundry is inclusive in our rental, if not i would have wasted money but now I could only say sorry to monash coz I wasted their energy supply.

Everything was alright today and I got nice neighbor. He actually made a flower balloon and left it on my door knob. I saw it when I was returning after my laundry and I just thought it might be someone who had mis-send the flower to a wrong room. But still I took the flower back into my room and later part of the day when I went toilet, he told me he was the one who made it. Wow, so nice of him, By the way, he’s Singaporean (does that explain more?). Hehehe.

Alright, Wai Chien is back, soon I’ll be uploading loads of “expired” pictures up and it’s time I’ll say I’ve picked up all the pieces that I’d left in Malaysia and will say I’m moving on. It might sounds fast coz I know I still didn’t move on when I was at the airport but perhaps living in an all new environment is a new challenge. Moving on is not at all a difficult task now but adapting to here is a major challenge. But I know I’ll do well.

Australia Life

Honestly, I cried again this morning but well, the day didn’t end that badly. There was this “Games Night” that just ended. I won’t say it was a great load of fun but at least I’ve start to know people. So well, I guess Wai Chien’s life is coming back. Orientation starts tomorrow at 9am. And it’s quite a long way to walk from hostel to campus. I’ll time it tomorrow and let you guys know how long it takes to reach campus. Everytime back in Malaysia, we used to complain how far is the carpark from uni, Let me tell you this, the distance now is triple or perhaps more than what we walk in sunway. So people back in sunway, please feel how lucky you are because that’s how I’ll feel 1 year from now when I’m back there. I’ve been typing all these posts in Microsoft words and so I’ll post them all up once I’ve got my internet connection done. I know if I were to leave them all to blog when I got internet connection, I’ll missed out a lot of details. So yah, I hope all this posts can get post soon. *hugs people*
And thanks to mom, both my bros and Sue who ringed me up to show their concern. Family’s sms of words of encouragement. I miss you all!

Alright, I’m not feeling that bad today. Yes I still brood over the fact that I’m being alone here with no one of you to talk to, no one who has already understand me like how you guys do and won’t be asking me this and that and most importantly is I know if any of you is here with me, all my meals will be settled. Currently my eating is a total mess up! Since I reached Melbourne, yesterday I ate, erm, nothing. And today’s breakfast was milk and cereals and dinner was 5 pieces of biscuits. I do crave of eating but every time the fact that I’m here alone hits me, I couldn’t bring myself to eat. I know once you guys read this, I’m going to get a long lecture but this is the true life I’m leading now.
Mom called this morning. Once I heard her voice, I couldn’t hold back all my accumulated tears already. She asked me how’s life here and I told her it’s bad and I’m really alone here. She asked me what I ate and I told her I ate nothing. I regret telling her I ate nothing because she’ll get real worried about me currently. And I’m crying again now! I might again look normal in front of everyone, but I’m not. I’m not that strong and independent like how you guys think about me.
I’m fear of sleeping now, because I don’t know how my tomorrow is going to be. I don’t know what I can do tomorrow. And I feel so shameful of feeling this right now because I’ve really got no one and it’s just me and myself only.
I’m so alone to the extent that I went up to 3 guys whom I don’t know yesterday and asked them whether I can follow them to town. I’m so alone again today that I followed them again to the mall because I’ve really got no life here.
That’s the Lau Wai Chien here in Australia!

Living alone isn’t really easy. Well, you guys will say but then you aren’t alone, there are a lot of others going on exchange program also. But it’s different, I always thought I was independent enough, but I guess I’m way too wrong. Just unpacking my luggage earlier on was enough to put me on the verge on crying. But I didn’t want to be seemed so vulnerable and so I quickly grab my clothes and go for shower. And guess what, water heater spoilt! I was already naked and given my lazy personality, I thought I’ll be fine and just go ahead with the showering but ended up jumping up and down in the toilet. Luckily no one has moved in on my floor yet, so no one will know what I did in the toilet except you guys who are reading this. And that’s also the eerie part, wait till I settle down and really adapt to the environment here and I’ll take pictures and show you guys what I mean by the scary part. Imagine whole building now only got don’t know only 5 people staying. I really feel like breaking down already. There’s no one here. No one who I can act silly in front of. It’s like everyone is so serious around. I kind of regret coming on this exchange program, I should just have been a good girl and stay in sunway campus. Now can only blame myself for being so not socializing here in aussie. It’s 7.45pm in KL but 10.45pm in Clayton here. Well yah, I do sleep alone back at home, but today sleeping alone seems very insecure. I want to go home, ok now I must hold back my tears. Perhaps when things get better, I’ll share happier stuff.
Thoughts currently: Why did you all dump me alone in Clayton now? Everyone at least has one company but I’m really being on my own!
