Hectic Life

Ai everyone ! Its been a while since my last post of Life of U in RMIT 2010 starts !

Err, about more than a month I didn't update of my blog. Its just ... what could I say? Its just so boring and nothing interesting to spill out from my mouth. Ya, it was... "Boring"！There are just 'Ah Mo' in my class ...! Except a female lecturer whom also came from Malaysia(Kedah). Even though I had living for a month as a University students, I still couldn't get along really well with my classmates. I've been wondering...,

"Is it because I'm an Asian?", 

"Am I looked shy to talk to?",

"It is just my problem?".

I had no idea, it could be no interesting conversations between You and Me. I was really, ... really alone over here! Meanwhile about studies, I was like 'blank'. I dunno what am I studying. Nothing came to my interests until now - and I just wanted to get a licensed surveying as my family members wishes for ! They put all their hope on me! Especially my Dad... a Cadastral Surveyor. According to my current condition, I really afraid that I might fail him. I know it could be very embrassing, but I just trying to struggle, ALONE overhere! 

I could need at least a companion, it would be the best if I studied together with some of my old friends! (*Chuckles) We could share the problems and solve them together. But, most are about problems of money...

Yes... money, and talking about it; It also stressed me out ! Everything is expensive at here!  Foods, public transport fees, water, electricity, and other sort of $$ stuffs la ! Semester fee no need talk too la ... Haih~~

Few days ago, I bought a Concession Ticket , ... illegally as it just could only be used legally for locals ... for L-O-C-A-L !!! When I done validating my ticket, suddenly a big fat guy approached me and asked for Concession Ticket and a Concession Card... and honestly, I didn't afraid nor panic ... Because I think I am doing the RIGHT thing. First of all, I'm a STUDENT (aka a International Student) ... Secondly, only public transport in Victoria still fully charged to those who are not a Local ! And Thirdly, Victoria Government just selfishly earning 30% (I think) on those who paid FULL FARES as source of income!  Lastly... I was just trying to save my PENNY ! I could save up half of the fee ! 

[Weekly Ticket - $49.60 (RM 148.80) --- Weekly Concession Ticket - $23.30 (RM69.90)]

I just couldn't understand, Melbourne is living in a high standard society ... How could they charged mercilessly on international students like us without considering its expensive already for paying full time of studying in University? Other parts in Australia like Brisbane, they allowed international student to get a concession ! 

After some couple of questions from Ticket Inspector, they told me that to wait for a few weeks later to receive a call from them and meanwhile they gave me a Travel Permit Receipt... 

Oh man... I would definitely be fined approximately $80 (RM240), according to my cousin. World is just not fair, do it? Those who are strong always overwhelmed the weaklings... 

From that day on, I told myself that ... one day "Money is nothing for me"!

Despite that, I still felt quite depressed and was hoping to go back Malaysia to complete my degree ... in University Teknologi Malaysia. I done a research about my course in Malaysia and only this 'High' ranked university does had my study course.

BUT

It only require STPM levels or students that studied local foundation collegue like Matrix in Labuan. My hope was like, vanished and devastated. I thought I could meet my old friends again almost everyday ... I thought I could save up RM k's of family money... I thought I could fly back anytime I want when there is holiday...! 

Yeap... I confessed to Mom and Dad about my life at here, and I ~~ cried instantly when I talked about "Study" and going back home... I hardly could stop my water coming out from my eye LoL ~  Nevermind la ... Sometimes its good to Cry-Out-Loud and spill everything out rather than  keeping everything inside the heart. 

Besides, I really hope to come back to Malaysia to finish my degree but I had no choice~ and about my 2 weeks holiday starting from 28th June - 16th July, there is no cheap flight :(( ~ it costs about approximately RM3,000 ! ... Quite an amount yeah? And family suggests me not to coming back instead, but go for US-Canada to have fun =( ~ just for RM1500 ~ I was quite delighted hearing it, but I rather there with my family ... but dunno its possible or not since there is no direct flight from KL-Canada and it needed to be other transit like SIB-KL-HK-Canada which cost totally RM 7,000 per person ... ~ MEL-Canada just cost RM 1500 ... Damn*, I hope AA had KL-Canada route one day...! 

I hope I could visit US-Canada one day! But my mom told me I've been to Canada before already since I'm a toddler = =" ~ who remembers that ! Aya, still the conclusion is that I wanted to go back Sarikei during my semester break ! Dad told me that "If you wanted to come back 就 come back" .... I dunno la ... I also remember Darrel told me that "That RM3,000 could bring you happiness le" ~ Darrel, hope you're right because I might coming back at that time :) ~

Yeap... brings me happiness... to meet these folks again that they gave me the meaning of ...
