GO Aussie!

Draft
18.12.09-
Fly to KL. Have a night in KLIA (didn't really sleep)

19.12.09-
Met Sueanne, Zi Chong, and Xi Wen at the airport early in the morning. Have problem with shirt, shoe, father bought. Gather, off we go! Had lunch on flight to Sydney Airport, transit to Brisbane International Airport. Slept on flight, arrive after 8 hours. Thought our host would be late, but they waited for 2 hours! So we have a brief introduce of ourselves. Aunt Debbie and Megan were nice. It was a 2 hour ride back to Murwillumbah, we chatted. Megan and Aunt Debbie introduced us to the dogs, Pepper and Gibbs, and birds, Junior, Ugly and Max. Aunt Debbie arranged our rooms, and went to bed about 4am. Zi Chong and I tried solving the hardest puzzle ever made... Couldn't solve it, we slept.

20.12.09-
Zi Chong woke me up about noon. We were given 2 toast with eggs on the first day as breakfast. Aunt Debbie asked us to make ourselves home, and so we did. After that, I met Pops. He was in the army when he was young. Now he is 72 and is on dialysis every second day. Nana didn't come over because she had a bad backache and couldn't walk up the stairs.We played games to unwind ourselves after the long flight. Aunt Debbie wouldn't mind we use the computer, and so we played a game of detective until midnight, and then I just show how we play DotA. Slept at 3am.

21.12.09-
Gibbs' lick on my hand woke me up this morning. Breakfast was the same, and it was simply delicious. I wished I am as good as Aunt Debbie. We head to Pop's house and he drove 5 of us; Pops, Nana, Me, Megan and Zi Chong to Tweeds for our shopping. There are shopping complexes, and there are 2 floors there. Nana goes on a scooter for shopping. We followed Pop's to the fishing department. Had lunch at the food court. We wanted to have an ice-cream from KFC, but there appears to be none. So we had lunch instead. Megan bought Zi Chong and I a foot-long from Subway! We shared it together. More shopping. They bought us Christmas gift - Aussie clothes and stuffs. They look nice on us. Pops said he was tired and we finished everything up fast. We helped carrying everything up to the grandparents' house. And our first glance of the house, it was so modern. We had dinner at home. It was a Chinese-style noodles in soup with Bak Choy and it taste MARVELOUS! I went for some games and off to bed when it was late. Saw Zi Chong sleeping on the coach, I woke him up so that he can sleep in his room.

I got lazy writing my blog for the time being, and this was just an update to my previous one. Of course there are some problems on vocabulary hither and thither, but they were meant to shorten my journey. In the nutshell, what can I still say about it? The whole journey is just awesome! Hopefully I can have another visit to Aussie!

My road which chosen.

I remembered it was around March when it happened.
"Don't make yourself into this" Marcus said "I will help you". I thought it was the end for all these things to happen, but it was not. I go for school as usual, homeworks, studies and friends are part of my life. For people of the same age, I am sure they describe them as an albatross around their neck... What makes me a different was always been my own problem. Everything started from that message... And so, it changed the way I did things. I started doing things alacritily, getting angry easily, and most of the time, I do things on my own way. That time, a friend that can comfort me, understand me, and give me advices was someone who I needed the most.

I never thought far of what will happen to me after this. What I care was always friends around me. I knew I am bad at making friends, but I never give up changing myself to become the ideal person who will be accepted by all...

Some days after that, I was emotionally disturbed. I cry for no reason, and had headaches most of the time. Until my parents agreed to send me for a scan. But Marcus believed it was because of the problems I had. Slowly, I regained my health, but nothing had changed...

Many says that after you had encountered a problem, you will get wisdom and knowledge from it. After this incident, I became as timid as a mouse and lack of self confidence. There she came, soothing my wounds, trying to change everything again...

"Everything will be fine" then, she forced a smile, letting me know everything was all right.

IF

If you can take whatever life may hand you,
and from it try to fashion something good;
If you know others may not understand you,
but you keep right on doing what you should.

If you can watch a friend go off without you,
and know that you can take such things in stride;
If you are kind and just to all about you,
and let the Golden Rule become your guide.

If you are wronged and still can be forgiving,
believing it is better to forget;
If you think there is too much joy in living
to waste your time on anger and regret...

If you accept a failure and not mind it,
but stop to learn the lesson it can teach,
If you resist temptation when you find it,
remembering the goal you want to reach...

If you can hold your own when you're not winning,
and know you can't achieve the things you plan,
If you can proudly make a new beginning
and never lose your faith in God and man...

You'll find success is waiting if you're willing,
that happiness is there for all who try -
Your life will be rewarding and fulfilling,
and nothing good will ever pass you by!
