I'm sitting on my brothers' bed now blogging as my brother, Ken watches his Greys on his desktop intently. Shaun is away at boarding school, and fortunately, I will be seeing him still this Saturday before I fly back to Aussie..
Two little things here that makes me feel.. happy. Lol.. One, that I am writing this while being in quite close proximity with my brother. Despite us doing our own respective thing, the fact that you have someone close by to you just provides that extra comfort, you know?
Second, that I finally have wi-fi at my place. ;p Before this was fixed, only internet was accessible in my parents' room. Goes to show that we have to 'not have' something to only treasure that something..
I can't believe time flies so, so fast. In a blink of an eye, 3 months has passed and in a few days time I'm leaving M'sia once again. This time, however, is a bit different. I do not look forward to going back as much as I looked forward to last year. I guess, after one and a half years in Melbourne, I've learned to realize that home, is home. As much as I enjoy Melbourne, KL is where my heart lies.
Don't get me wrong- I still look forward to a new semester in Aus, my heart just feels a little heavier this time. The main reason I am looking forward to this sem is- I am moving out of IH, where it's grown to be my comfort zone for the past one and a half years. No more food being placed in front of me every meal time, no more dishes being washed by others, no more any problems being solved by the administration of IH without me worrying of anything. And most importantly, no more paying the bill in one go where electricity, rent, water, food, internet is all included. Basically, say hello to the world of independence, Wei Lynn.
I've been wanting to move out and yet I just never got to. This time, I really am! And I am excited! I've already visions of how to beautify my tiny little studio.. Yes, I'll be living on my own. :) After much thought, I thought moving out alone would be best as I really treasure and enjoy my privacy. I would like to keep myself as occupied as I can be yet not till the point of having too much to do.. For starters, no more positions in any clubs/socities for me after this fiscal year.. well, maybe, just one. And I'd LOVE to get a job this sem! Waitressing, barrista.. etc. Anything! Well a girl can't be picky now can she?? Oh please, hire me, melbourne.. allow this girl a chance to grow up.
On another note, I totally gave up on my 3-4 meals a day with only 1-2 portions for each meal mantra. I've been hitting the gym about twice a week for Body Pump class and yet as much as I feel my tiny biceps and triceps have toned up *a little*, my tummy's as flabby as it was 3 months ago. But I told myself, I am in M'sia now and where else to whack the awesome food but here. So I kissed this diet-which-is-not-really-a-diet goodbye. Back to 5 meals a day with lots and lots of snacks in between?? No wonder still single lah. Hehe.. jokingggg :p
Speaking of which... Last Friday I attended the most enjoyable class in the gym ever! It was Body Jam/Latino Jam class which I've been wanting to attend since forever but never had the chance to.. I was 10 mins late and was contemplating if I should join the rest of the ladies (since they were.. at least 1 to 2 generations older than I am). Paiseh lah, all old ladies shaking their booty there, some more they all shake better than I do. Anyways I told myself to scr** it, and I joined them :p No regrets at all!!!!! The instructor played 'Buttons' by PCD when I joined and boyyy, the moves were hot!!!
Then we proceeded to more IN songs like 'feedback' by janet jackson.. one of my favourites :) Then some other latino songs where we did some mambo/salsa (which I sucked). And we ended with the perfect 3 songs combination, the first which I can't remember, Low and In the Ayer by florida.. wooot woot! The moves were sizzling and to be honest, it was my first proper dance class! Did some krumping, is that how you spell it btw?? Some hip hop stuff, yo! and lots of hips booty shaking. *I wonder if he started putting these songs on when he sees a young girl joining in lol* Man I really wished I went for dance classes last time... hope it's not too late now. I've always been very shy when it comes to dancing. :(
Today! Mummy, Mama & I went to Capital Square to search for paintings for the house. I suddenly felt like Lily Vanderwoodsen :p Lol!! Except that I know nothing of paintings la. More like the eye-ing and commenting part onlyy. Haha.. It was fun, I'm sure with a few paintings, it would make the house look even better!
Man I'm gonna miss home.. Of the comfort of being with family members, of throwing tantrums and being spoilt and still they'll love you; of having the luxury of home cooked food and getting almost anything that we want (with limits of course); of hanging out with friends whom I feel so, so at home with; of having pizza and movie nights at my place; of playing mahjong with familyy which I just started recently; of driving to the gym and back and attending my favourite body pump class; of fetching my brother to college and my grandma to her mahjong sessions even...
But I am ready to face a whole new chapter of my life now. As much as people tell me I'll be lonely living alone, I'd like to think that embracing loneliness enables me to do things that I like, e.g. reading, writing, and a whole lot of other stuff. And you're not lonely if you have things that keep you on your toes all the time; if you have self-assurance, if you love and enjoy being on your own. *easy to say only lol hope i'll really feel this way!*
