Alice is in Perth now.
That's the status in my FB. Why am i in Perth? Many think that it's a holiday and some even think it's a honeymoon! Well, whatever they think, i just didn't bother to explain and tell them the reason why i am in Perth, again.
Coming to this foreign land again had me complicated feelings. I just have this love-hate feelings towards Perth. Love it because it's OZ land, mate! Hate it because when you have stayed in Bolehland for too long, everything is tak-boleh here. Well, again, i'm not going to disclose my personal prejudice where i think it's only me who think that way, in fact, these prejudices have been in me since my uni days in Perth, few years ago. Getting back here just got me thinking about it again and i guess they will never go away. What's worse is having to see my brother to go through all these again, i can only wish him luck and perhaps i'm a little relieved when he said he love it here and he's prepared for whatever comes his way. I think this is just life and part and parcel of growing up. After all, i grew up in this process too.
I have never got the chance to document all the experience for the days in Perth, blog spot was not something i am aware of those days. If you ask me what do i want to document the most if given a chance, i'd say every bit and pieces count. The novelty of being in a foreign land, experiencing independent life and taking care of yourselves, having to learn everything out of the box way, which is in the contrary of the spoon feeding education system in Malaysia and having to start anew in a different stream, were all bit and pieces i wanna remember. Other than that, knowing friends who had been there for you during ups and downs and still keep in touch and have a dear place in my heart is also something i wanna remember. Then, a relationship that almost changed my destiny is something to ponder about too.
Now that i've come through that, everything and anything that i am having now is the best for me. It's only the experience that i'll hold dear to me but at the meantime, i cherish and i thank God for whatever i am doing, i am having now. I'm content with life, even that means when my father was diagnosed with the capital C disease. I'm a Catholic and i believe that God has a plan for all of us with whatever happens in our life, happens for a reason. I think what happened has brought the family closer than ever to each other, it is in this situation we see care and true love blossom and expressed in each of us. Therefore, i believe God made it happened and he'll also bless us through this.
Thank you all who have showed your care and concerns, i really appreciate them.
