G-A-V-I-N

It never really did set in, the fact that I’m about to go to Australia to further my studies. But as time passes, my date of departure grows seemingly closer and I’m starting to have a slight fear if i may. Fear because i’m stepping into a foreign land not knowing anything about their culture. Fear because I don’t have my mum or dad to be there for me anymore. Whenever i had problems, i always turned to my parents, but over there, I have but myself. Well, i do have my girlfriend, but she too will be stepping foot into a foreign land by herself for the 1st time. Basically, we  only have each other and in all honesty, I’m not so sure if that’s good enough. True, she is rather resourceful, and one can depend on her to take charge of situations, but she’s going to be with me! And if you must know, i’m quite a handful which in turn will make her task as being the decision maker if you like, or the one in charge that little bit more difficult. *sheepish look* =") My greatest fear is of course, the fact that she, my girlfriend and I, will be staying together for the 1st time for 1 whole year…. It’s like being married, and I’m not so sure if that’s so healthy at such a tender and young age. *sigh* I do believe she and I will pull through though, but I will need God’s guidance and help and you, my fellow friends and blog readers, I will need your prayers. Ok… enough about that. Let’s side track a little shall we? Christmas was good, though i’ll never be able to re-live the days of my childhood during christmas. Those were the days… the joy and happiness of it all was just so much more…. meaningful I guess. Now that I’m older, I still feel the aura of joy and love in the air, but in a different way, you know what i mean? i guess when you’re a child, certain things are meant to be different. New year’s! New year’s was…. how would i put it? Erm… New year’s was not that enjoyable actually. I went to sunway for the countdown and there were people there, with the usual countdown and fireworks happening and all, but it all just wasn’t good enough I’d say. To make matters worse, at about 12.15am after the countdown, i got stuck in a people jam… there’s this bridge linking sunway pyramid and the housing area of sunway together and that particular bridge was jam packed with people jostling their way through to get back to their cars. You see, a lot of people parked across the road of Sunway Pyramid as did my friends and I for parking inside pyramid would’ve been total disaster as before you could even enter the parking lot, you’d already be lining up wayYYy back. Anyway, as i was saying, the bridge was packed with people going up and some coming down so there basically was a 2-way-traffic kinda thing going on there. It took me a good half an hour to reach the other side of the bridge. Silly thing is, I’ve been stuck in these kinda things before when i was a little younger, say… 16 or 17? And i told myself then, "I don’t think I’ll ever come to these kinda events again. it’s so hot and stuffy, and you got all sorts of people around you and in the end of it all, you get frustrated" But I guess i’ve not learnt my lesson now have i? Ok… ok, i’m sure some of you are thinking that these kinda things happen only once a year so what’s the big fuss about getting jammed in a pack of people once in a blue moon or feeling hot and stuffy? I guess you’re right, but personally, i’d prefer not to. Well, let’s just say, it depends on who i’m going with and whether i feel like it at that point in time or not. It’s hot and stuffy and your whole bodyu feels sticky! Hmmm, by the by, do i sound metro-sexual? Some have deemed me as such… okok i’ll stop blabbering… so there, my christmas and new year’s compiled into one blog post. Short and sweet. And i’m going to Aussie soon! I have that butterflys in your stomach kinda feeling now even as i type this… =S but i shall go forth with faith and i shall be victorious in the war for that piece of paper, no matter what obstacles may stand in my way! That includes not having my parents around, and not being able to eat nasi lemak, or maggi goreng! OOo, let’s hope i don’t get too tempted by the food over there and return to Malaysia like a ball now shall we? *laughs* XD
