A month goes by...

I've decided, from today onwards, 10th March 2009, I'm going to take 15 minutes a day to write. Yes just write about my life, things I do and learn been inspired and influenced to do, no holds barred.

Well, this moment is very opportune as this month in review cause as of tomorrow I would be spending exactly one month in Tasmania.

To quote the movie " The curious case of Benjamin Buttons", 'Life is defined not in minutes. But in moments".

I'm getting used to the environment and the culture here, everything is not to hard to get by though it may be challenging

I've:

Learned to shop wisely and look out for good buys knowing I'm on a budget.

Learned to plan things ahead, not just in my studies, but my meals, cleaning up, ironing the clothes, going to church and events and so on.

Learned to cook! Thought slowly, I hope to learn a few special recipes and awesome dishes to bring back to M'sia!

Learned to take responsibility of my own life knowing that I'm here by myself (though with support of friends) but to be independent in my lifestyle

Learned to appreciate friends who selflessly drive you to church, captain ball and so on, teach you and show you to best things to do and the right time, being just available!

Learned to not forget where I came from, Malaysia! And to keep on check what's been going on in this nation I call home. (Malaysiakini.com has been great!)

The fact is still there though, I miss home.

I miss the moments I don't need to worry about petty stuff like what to eat for dinner or to make sure I clean up after my mess. Lol.

I miss the moments where I get to see my good friends every week or catch up with 'ol buddies over a meal anytime.

I miss the moments I get to play around with my cousins, tell them stories or do silly things like lift up 'lil Man Jan high in the sky after giving the '1,2,3' countdown; who won't be so little by the time I see him.

I miss the moments I get to give a big hug, more like a squeeze to all the young kids in church or my cousins.

I miss my family, knowing I get to talk to them easily and ask for money whenever I'm in need =b

I miss my classmates, school and 'busy' life I had. I just do.

That's all for now. Signing out!
