s'how?!

aussie vs malaysia

thebf vs thefamily

moremoney vs money

my independence vs being dependent

the possibility of being unemployed vs a job guaranteed

working is aus vs the possibility of not being able to work there forever

sunshine & winter vs clouds & haze

the beach, the ribs, the beef vs the cheap, good Malaysian cuisine



i dunno. sometimes i feel like i'm neither here nor there.

how do u choose between possiblytheone and your family? how can you choose between your motherland and the country you've grown to love? how can you achieve a balance between the eastern and western cultures and still blend-in with everyone else?

it's like my head wants something but my heart wants something else. i think my biggest fear is that i'll be unemployed... for a long, long time when i could be working & earning a living somewhere in msia.

but then again, life's all about taking chances, RIGHT?

so this is 2008. and i'm starting off unemployed and broke but i'm hopeful that things will get better. they always do anyways.

started off 2007 with terz. and we've been together/away for almost every month in the first half of 2007), almost killed ourselves by skydiving, visited him twice when he was working in spore, had short trips to melbourne & canberra together, and he flew me all the way to hk from malaysia for xmas. but 2007 ended with me leaving him, even though we both didn't want to.


also, i..

- improved my cooking skills.i actually applied those cooking skills that i've learnt from ex-hsemate, shing. had cooking sessions every sunday night in the first half of 2007, later spent time cooking with terz.

i know this photo doesnt do me justice. but in my defence, it was cooked by the boy

- mom came to sydney. also, i travelled quite a bit. which is also why i'm broke now.
