Scribbles from the past

As I move out of my current room in Mossman and into a new room near Wonga, I was going through all the things I have collected throughout the years. I came to Australia with 3 bags of clothes, 40 kgs worth of belongings and now I have collected so many unnecessary tokens along the way (most of them being storybooks and board games :D). I had to bid farewell to most of them. I found one token that I refuse to part with because it was truly a life changing experience for me. It was my mid-year QUT Big Lift trip to a few different towns near Darling Downs region in Queensland, Australia. Essentially, the goal is to serve the regional community in any way possible. I'd been to the short weekend trip to Cherbourg with QUT Big Lifters by then, so I knew some of the members. I wasn't too sure what to prepare for this 5-day journey however, I just winged it. I rocked up to the bus stop and felt a bit awkward because this was a larger group and I didn't know many of them. We were ...

Struggles of an international student

Being an international student in Australia has taught me plenty of life lessons and I am still learning; however, people happen to always touch a sore spot when they talk about how I am leading an easy life overseas and they are all struggling back home.

The struggles co-relate to one another and might differ from one person to another.

The biggest milestone in my life!

So here, I return to blogging after almost half a decade and it's truly because I strongly believe I will be some sort of an inspiration to people around me. Coming from a tiny but awesome island called Penang in Malaysia, I have constantly been told I am aiming too high when I tell people I want to go to Australia. No one believed me and of course, some amazing people truly wished me luck and gave me blessings, however I would really like to take the time to thank people who discouraged me for coming this far. I am someone who likes proving people wrong, so for all the times you've told me I can't do it, I'd come back and do it again. It took my parents a while to realise, I guess, that I am never gonna listen to them and I do have a mind of my own. Yes, thanks to our Uncle Jib, we all know how expensive it is to go to an overseas country even for holiday but I am indeed grateful to have had the opportunity in the midst of all these economic situation to land on th...
