Yay! Yesterday I finished my final assignment for the semester! For the coming two weeks its just study study study then the two weeks after that take exam study take exam study take exam PACK AND CATCH A FLIGHT HOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (that is so important to me that I must Cap Bold Italic Underline it ok!)

And for July it’s all about family, home, mom’s food, nasi kandar, the awesome chicken rice, char kuay teow, hokkien mee, laksa, shark fin soup, banana leaf, mee goreng, chopper board, kim gary, yong tau foo, cendol, malaysian milo ,chicken maggi mee, amandari and other restaurants my family eat at often, 大人餐厅, KL, GY, movies, college, friends, lecturers, unlimited internet access, penang saints, my own bed and table, warm weather, my car, cheap shopping, penang mandarin hokkien manglish, fun chats with dad in the car, hitz.fm djs pranking people so on so forth.

FORGET subway, fish and chips, nandos, crap chinese food and fake char kuay teows, my lousy plain cooking, 小白菜, broccoli, chicken and potatos, pathetic chicken rice which the ang mohs like, australian accent, buses, incredibly limited internet access causing me to watch youtube in the wee hours of the morning otherwise i’d never get to watch anything here, kangabats (no i take that back, wombats are cute!), expensive oversized overpriced cheap made in china clothes sold for 100 dollars here that will tear soonafter (like my housemate’s Country Road shirt!), people saying the f word to replace all nouns verbs adjectives and all other proper expressions, in front of children, expensive supersized portions of food which don’t even taste like food!!! so on so forth

Ok despite saying all that Australia is not that bad. I am just a homely girl who misses home that’s all. Australians are generally quite nice. The weather is also usually very nice as well, cool breezy but warm education standard is much higher than home, overall a safe place to live in… so not too bad! but i love home more! forget the PR. forget the honours program (if i can even get it haha). after my four semesters here I’m going home I’m not saying I regret coming here because this two years will be a truly valuable studying growing up experience and I do appreciate it. But I think for me, these two years will be enough. I don’t wish to stay here any longer than necessary.

So I’m almost there! I finished my first semester of studying in Australia and did not give up or fail through the tougher times! I made it out alive and I’m quite happy with my progress so far!

by the way mozilla just crashed on me but i love wordpress for saving my drafts automatically! I was going to upload a photo but this action has caused the browser to crash on me twice. so maybe next time.
