The only thing constant in life is change.

Congrats Shin who has just gotten his dentistry offer, I am happy for him - even though instead of continuing his 2nd year engineering this year in Brisbane with me he'll be starting his degree afresh in Gold Coast. I'll miss our occasional meet ups, lunches and study sessions (which are pretty productive I must say) in uni but ahh well, it had to be done. I'm not gonna lie - change frightens me but I believe I'll we'll get through it. Besides, according to him a dentist bf sounds way more impressive than an engineer bf anyway (yay?) haha.

He's coming here later to get a free hair cut from me for the second time (the first one turned out awesome, just look at the previous photos!). One, he gets to save $10 and two, I give way better hair cuts than the saloons he goes to - they tend to over cut and it'd turn out crappy, which is why he doesn't care if I screw up because he's used to it. The only thing is his hair is extremely coarse - the last time I cut his hair my thumb and index finger ended up sore because his hair is so damn hard :<

3 days more till my flight back to Malaysia. I think I'm going to create a list of things I want to do while I'm back home.

1. Spend more time with the family. - Sometimes when I join in with Shin & his family it made me miss mine badly. Coming overseas to study really made me appreciate family.
2. Eat awesome Malaysian food. - Oh how I miss bak kut teh, mamak, pan mee etc. I hope the first meal I get to have after I touch down is bak kut teh and not just any bak kut teh, I want Jalan Ipoh bak kut teh.
3. Swim. - I only swam once since I've been here and god knows how badly I miss swimming.
4. Play squash with mum. - Just a few days ago mum told me she just bought 2 new squash racquets (buy 1 free 1!) and I'm looking forward to playing with her even though I'll probably end up losing terribly (she used to represent her uni for squash back in the days).
5. Do more photography experiments/projects. - Since I will have all the time in the world and materials are easily accessible.
6. Catch up with friends. - I miss the people I can act all crazy with :>
7. Read. - For the past 6 months I have read nothing except for course materials, it doesn't help that the only alphabets/words I have to write/read/memorise/understand are mathematical unknowns or chemical names of some sort.
8. Cook. - Without completely relying on the microwave :x
9. Enjoy Chinese New Year. - Get more ang paos! Just kidding. I hope to be more responsive and patient towards long-winded relatives.
10. Shop. - Retail stores in Australia are... boring. And overpriced. I see the same stores everywhere carrying the same style of clothing and are mostly made in China (not to say that it's bad but I can get the same items for a much lesser price in places like Times Square and Sungei Wang).

Off I go have my breakfast now (oats, as usual), and maybe watch an episode or two of Friends while waiting for time to pass (I just finished season 5 and I find Chandler & Monica sooooo adorable, they are so cute together! :>).


Edit: change of plans, I'm going to his place instead. Wow now he saves on both transport and saloon - damn he's lucky, haha.
