Sorry for not updating for awhile here. Actually, since I got back to Perth a month and half ago. So, that's like not too long ago, is it? My parents are once again here for 6 months-- they will go back when I come back in July and they will leave when I leave in August. It's like I've never left home in the first place to study. It's a mere continuation of what I had in KL, but in a different environment.
For your information, my parents are living the life of retirees-- well, Dad opted for early retirement and Mum just followed. :) I guess you could say that we've packed up as well as moved from KL-- although we still keep a place in Kuala Lumpur. You could say it has not been an easy decision moving here-with the packing, settling down and whole hoop-la of new environment. However, my parents only thought about the best for us, especially my sister. My sister is still in high school ( Year 11= Form 5). For her, it is not only a less stressful environment to study in, but it also gives her space to develop. She only takes 6 subjects compared to the 8,9,10 subjects we take in SPM. And it spills over to her Year 12 TEE ( the equivalent of SAM). My sister is a crazy girl, but bless her though-- I salute her courage. Taking what is known as the "suicide" SIX-- Mathematics 3A and 3B, Mathematics Specialist 3A and 3B, Physics 2A and 2B, Chemistry 2A and 2B, English Literature and Accounting Studies.
On another note, 2nd year has started. What a start to the semester. A heavy semester, with loads of tutorials to attend-- my poor brain has started to ice up. It's like a mental road-block. Assignments after assignments, tutorial preparations after tutorial preparations, readings after readings-- for Law and Mass Communication at the same time, sometimes leaves me wondering why I ever did a Double Degree in the first place. Maybe at the time of selection, I was overly ambitious!
This year has somewhat been different: so many visitors coming from Kuala Lumpur. Maybe it's all due to the cheap flights that are being offered. Not to put down any of my friends, it is just that they all usually by-pass Perth for Melbourne or Adelaide. Firstly, one of my friends from church just came over to study Medicine. Her parents stayed for 12 days and 5 days respectively. On Saturday, another family friend is coming to Perth and staying for 5 days. In April, another friend is coming over for a few days. Then, in July, my family friends are coming over for 2-3 weeks for Winter. On 22nd July, my friend, Cheng Jin would be here for 9 days. But, I won't be attending to him at all because I am back in KL at that time.
So yeah. Here's to a busy schedule for the semester ahead. Blog more later, back to studies now!=)
