Greetings from Aussie!

Hey people! G'day! How are all of you back in Penang? it's really hot in pg right?

Shall  I show you how my room looks like? Hahaha
I'm currently enjoying myself coz the study workload is not here yet. STRESSfree for now but still got pimples, god knows why..ahaha! but i have my emo days too when first arrived!..

the first few days when i arrived in International House, i felt rather out of place coz i know NOBODY here. so i was living at my sister's place every night and i only went back to IH for lunch. the sense of belonging to IH wasn't there at all! everytime when i had to go back to IH, it was just miserable. i have to force myself to smile to unknown residents, the room looks old & horrible to me, i don't feel comfortable using the commmon bathroom, etc.. However I had yummy dinners throughout the whole week(thanks to mummy and daddy) and the visits to the city was something. okay the first week was not very fun and the week ended with a teary send off for my parents on Sunday night =(. it was really sad even the night before. i practically cried till i slept! yup, i'm a cry baby.

The next day( Monday 22 Feb), Orientation week activities started..still didn't know much people. Wen Zhen(my friend from Pg) came to visit me for a while and after that i was all alone to handle the whole socialising situation. so i started opening my mouth to say hi and asked people where they are from,etc..the week got better with lotza fun activities although i cried during some nights..i guessed it was just a normal thing that most people will experience when they leave their family and home for the first time.  this post is a lil' down but it is necessary to address this feeling of mine..i have to write the sad part first to share it with all of you coz i think this will be the first feeling that most of you will experience when you move into your uni life later!

However the fun part comes along after the sad part. my next post will all be about my IH orientation week packed with lotza fun,tiring, sweaty, wet activities Everyday!



 the pics are not taken very well..i will taking some nicer pics of my room again!
