Friday morning

Author: lyinmei

I had a late night out yesterday despite having an early class today. Was rather afraid that i will not be able to wake up in time. This time, it turn otherwise.

I woke up too early for class and went into the wrong class.

Class only starts at 930am but i’m already in Uni at 841am.

THIS IS HOW CLUMSY I AM!!!

on Monday morning, i overslept and skip the class of the day, right now i’m sitting right infront of the computer in the Curtin Robertson library with the big huge wide flat screen. I think the person behind me would be able to see what I am typing now.

Got to know this few new friends in Perth whom they are also from Malaysia, Metrolitan College. I still do not own any of the ang moh friends yet until today. They are Chuan ( reminds me of RICHARD LOW), and han hoong ( He’s also from CHS), nice and friendly people which chauffer us during the night and introducing us to places where you get to taste the good oriental cooking.

It is labour day on Monday, but Uni is still as usual :(

heading off to the library lounge to grab a bite before uni starts.!

Have a great weekend peoeple.

****

i just remembered!!! The cleaners are coming in today to clean the house and i left all the toiletries inthe bathroom which i should not at all.

Oh my, just rang my housemate to help me clear it for me, and i’d better change all my watch to the same time before making another stupid mistake again.

It strucks me again…

i still cannot get over it.

I miss home alot, and i meant it ALOT.

thou i have great friends here, but nothing compare to home.

Just a year, and i’ll be done. This is what i’d been telling myself.

the cold weather here just make me miss home even more,

i dont know how it works this way. Perhaps i dont feel any warmness.

you only understand and know how to appreaciate when things are always not around you.

i wanna graduate fast and get home quick.

but im only a week here, classes just started and i can feel the workload already.

Life in Perth

Author: lyinmei

It was all hot and sunny weather for the past week, but not today.

I woke up at 715am and get myself changed and take a 20 mins walk to uni daily.

Decided to put on long sleeves as i can from my window the the breeze is really strong and blowing the trees the their left and right.

I took pretty long hours to walk to uni as i walk really slow as compared to others. Furthermore, i’m bad with crossing the road. People may on the other side of the road alread but i still did not mange to cross.

Had a few new friends, but couldnt remember their name at all.

Uni is different here compared to Metropolitan college, not refering to the compound but also the teaching method. They totally do not spoon feed, make me so blur. The lecture notes may be 10 pages, but the lecturer or unit controller oni cover half of it.

It was so cold today comparatively to the previous week with hot suny sun shinning at me.

It was raning cats and dogs, and me without umbrella had to run under the rain back home after uni. It was my first time reaching home so quickly. The gloomy weather makes me miss home again today, as i feel so cold and staring at the sky while waiting to Vincent to come over. After reaching home, had to change and soak the wet clothing all by myself which i do not do it all back at home. It’s all about you and yourself.

But on the brighter side, i would say that i have great friends around me that never fails to entertain me. With funny people like Ivan that doesnt even know to cook maggi noodles and do his own laundry, caring n helpful vincent to prepare the 5 of us dinner tonight, understanding housmate- Wanjun and new friends from HONG KONG!!!!

THANKS A LOT

I’d started to like this place, and learning to love it now. Though back in Msia is still home sweet home.

Nothing beats home and friends back there, peeps, i miss all of you and mamak session.

:) at least i wake up with a smile nowadays.

The New Chapter of Life

To me, there are 10 chapters in life, I would say at this point is the most exciting and thrilling part of the story in my life.

Chapter 1: Childhood- Kindergarten

Chapter 2: Primary School Life of St. Teresa

Chapter 3: Secondary life in CHS

Chapter 4: College Life in Taylors for diploma and Metropolitan College

Chapter 5: Final Year Abroad in Perth, Western Australia

Chapter 6: Entering the Political World

Chapter 7: The ‘dating’ days

Chapter 8: Tying the Knot

Chapter 9: Family

Chapter 10: Extended Family.

Life is drastically different as to compare to Malaysia for me. There is no night life and the shops closes at 6pm every day. You can’t afford to start your day late or you will end up doing nothing.

I have 4 housemates with me, a girl from metropolitan and 3 guys- two Hongkie and a Chinaman. They are pretty nice people to get along, had a long conversation with them late last night in the living room. Can you imagine im conversing to them in Cantonese as if im stuying in Hong Kong now! They need to speak slowly and repeat themselves when talking to me. It is a little hard for us to actually understand one another.

I carried and drag my luggage up to the 1st floor, I meant it as I could not even lifted up my baggage on my own. So what you do expect? my hands are still aching till today.

Coles mart is just 5 mins walk away from my house. It is pretty convenience for me to do groceries. I was buying some household equipment and ended up buying too many of them. As I step out of the mart, only realized that I need to carry and walk home with them. There is no more myvi waiting out there. So from now onwards, I had to visit Coles often as I couldn’t carry to many bags with me.

Went to the city on Monday night for dinner, thanks to Vincent ( cheng yi’s bro) to hitch me a ride in his friend’s skyliner. How happy I was to be able to sit into the car, I just wish that I had a car now.

So people u driving back in Malaysia is super lucky, you do not need to walk to reach all destinations. Im still learning to enjoy on walking to uni. Uni is only 150 meters away from my house but to reach the business school I need to walk for another 15 mins.

I’m still learning to like this place, and adapting here too. Hopefully by end of this month I will show you my love for Perth.

103 hours left.

At this point, I’m left with this much time back in Malaysia.

I do not look forward to leave Malaysia for now.

I do not wanna go already.

I’m gonna miss my comfort zone.

There is no bolster in Australia, should i buy over?

im gonna miss so many things, events, happenings, families, friends and special someone.

But i have to leave.

Ni, you’re right.

I’m no longer eager to go now. I’m not mentally ready or psychically ready too.

OMG!

i wish i do not need to leave now.

What should i do next?

Nervous

Author: lyinmei

This emotion has been attacking me since 2 nights ago.

I’m getting afraid to leave this place where i belong for the past 21 years.

The down side is, I’m not in the same house with the people i wanted to.

I’m worried about my housemates as i don’t even know half of them.

Introducing the house mates of mine: 

Law
Wan Jun
Loo Yin Mei
YUEN HOA WAI
SUN ZHU
ZHAO CHEN
CHENG HO YIN

I don’t even know why are we highligted in different colours.

They look like they are from China to me.

Argh, i’m afraid of sharing toilets with people.

Imagine the guys start to pee everywhere, the pile of mountain high of unwashed bowls, cup plate, and overloaded rubbish in the bin that is not cleared away.

I’m just scaring myself off now. I wish to stay here now.

I can imagine myself arguing with my hosuemate now over those matters.

Chris and Ming Shiu i will be totally different person when i’m back a year later.

so do note down the today’s Yin Mei and the  a year later Yin Mei and let me know the differences.

I’m afraid to face changes in my life and also the changes in me.
