Alrights, everyone reading this, you mus be saying this as the back of your mind: FINALLY.
haha yes, FINALLY this entry came. Its been almost two months since i landed here in oz. Life down under isn’t that easy, or rather, much tougher than i’ve expected. okay, maybe its not the life down under, but life abroad and independent living. But then again, i’m lucky to have a great friend/classmate/roommate/soulmate with me here. and now i can say, i’m beginning to settle down and getting used to the life here. (beginning, but not yet settled)
Previously i’ve been asked many times, “hows life in aussie?” i couldn’t bring myself to say “great” cos, i really had some hard time adapting. i landed here with culture shock and a sense of loss, everything looks unfamiliar and strange, insecurity was following me everywhere. Then came a coupled of issues, my school fees wasn’t processed, the once-in-a-century-hailstorm destroyed our room, causing severe leakage, sch’s hectic with loads of work (we are into 3rd year, so we didn’t have the luxury of exploring things and the system slowly)….in addition, still have to cook for ourselves, do housework, get groceries, laundry. i have no idea that can be really tiring! Now, i really appreciate mom for doing all these for us!
and yeps, things are starting to settle in for me. or maybe i’ve a different point of view towards my own schedule. i wana enjoy the experience here, and visit places not just only chionging blindly for school work. i can forsee more challanges ahead, maybe much more challanging. but with all the constant support from all my love ones, family and friends, i’ll be ready and brave to face it head on 
Here’s a lil song, by David Cook, which i thought might be quite inspiring!
When I was a little boy,
I swore that I would change the world when I grew up.
Nothing else would be enough.
I see it everyday,
We settled for safe,
And lose ourselves along the way.
‘Cause if you don’t dream big,
What’s the use in dreaming?
If you don’t have faith,
There’s nothing worth believing.
It takes one hope,
To make the stars worth reaching for.
So reach out for something more!
It took a well perfected plan,
For me to finally understand,
That it’s not me.
Faith is something you can’t see.
I wiped my tears away.
Now it’s time for a change….
No I can’t waste another day.
‘Cause if you don’t dream big,
What’s the use in dreaming?
If you don’t have faith,
There’s nothing worth believing.
It takes one hope,
To make the stars worth reaching for.
