Early 2012 Confession
I feel that I am beginning to enjoy going to church… not because of the social activity there – but because unlike other sermons that I had attended before, Pastor S who preaches in the GC church is funny and practical in applying Christianity to life… Before I wasn’t a huge fan of religion because I don’t feel the connection between religion and life… all I got was that we should worship HIM but there’s no practicality to life mentioned… god seems like an animated figure - a guy who have all the power to make your life miserable but yet is also the same guy who will give you all the miracle as long as you believe and worship him… which was sadly the exact reason that hinders my acceptance to religion… because I simply cannot agree to religion if it has no connection to how we as human being relates to and behave in life… But my view to that has recently changed… secretly I think I am beginning to believe…

2011 Recap
Life is like a drama, and in 2011 I finally understand what it meant with that.
In 2011, I started off at the beginning of the year with a series of melts down with emotional stability. Despite thinking that I had closed my chapter happily in year 2010, the torment followed through to 2011 where I encountered not only changes in my relationship but also in my career and environment. I felt demoralised and disappointed by my family and also for moving to a place so foreign leaving my circle of friends and the blanket of comfort to a place where everyone around me is of different colour. It’s the first time in my life where I learn that ‘change’ is so malicious and unkind because it will not give you any time to get use to and will only throw tonnes and tonnes of uncertainty to you while you are still learning to balance yourself on a highline…
As a result, I shed not only my weights but also tears of frustration… Several times during the beginning of 2011 I wanted to just quit Australia and move back to my little hut in KK or just go backpacking in Australia and settle in small town but conscious sense kept pulling me back to reality leaving me no choice but to swallow the bitterness of responsibilities…
It felt like forever…
Then all of a sudden in mid-year the dark clouds just suddenly lifted and I felt like I am reborn … I was clear headed again and things are starting to work around me… My career was moving in the correct direction and I’m getting use to the strange coloured people around me… only burden at that time was to sell the house back in Malaysia… So I worked remotely looking for competent agent and alas I found one… coupled with support from the angel that visited me during my 27th birthday in UK and moral support from JB, finally, in the 3rd quarter of the year I found a buyer, hurdled to get the contract right then signed away the burden… phew!
So in the blink of an eye, 2011 passed just like that…
But is it really settled? Unfortunately no… there’s still the settlement to be done and I’m once again caught in hiccups… But this time I have decided to take a different approach, so rather than taking the whole thing up by myself, I’ve decided to share it… But will it pull through? We’ll wait and see…

My circle of friends in Perth is expanding…!
Well not precisely like back home in Malaysia and Singapore that big type circle of friends but I’m getting there… and I am feeling great about it... (^_^) They are friends from TAFE Japanese class that I had enrolled to… Age range: Various
Because the course itself is a self-interest class to develop our knowledge in the Japanese language most of the students eventually will wanna go abroad to Japan to travel someday… in fact some of them did it and would like to go back again… which is one thing in common amongst us that then lead to other common things like study better for tests (lots of this this term), setting up study group and lunches after class… anyway, next week is the final week for this term and after that it’s two months of holidays till Feb/ March (?)
On the other hand, JB is also burning the mid night oil these days for his finals and then it’ll be another new year all over again...

Affraid of the Water
It's been a while since I've entered into the water and now I am feeling abit nervous that I might have forgotten how to swim! I miss swimming and diving but most of all I miss just sitting by the beach – feeling the sea breeze and listening to the waves with a beer on my hand accompanied by some soft music playing at the back scene…
Yups… I still hadn’t given up on the idea of building a place by the beach… and I have to admit that once in a while I’ll search the internet to look for the perfect island/ location in google map to house my sanctuary…
But how could I execute my plans? And where can I begin?
