| | Dear weblings & earthlings, Its been almost 2 orbits round Suria the sun since tis forlorn page gotten fresh blood as it were! Dear page, i am sorry, but lets rejoice in this moment where fate/God's hands has guided our path to cross once again! A toast to you. Perhaps, for diaries' sake, a re-cap of major (in the subjective way) occurences in the space of time's line would augur well. After the mid year exams in around end June-early July 2005, i made my way back to Malaysia for the short winter/term break. Enroute Melbourne airport with Ms Bernice Maria Tan. As i remember it, i had just done my laundry on the morning of the evening dued flight to Melbourne. The weather was wet, as was the general sentiments of that year's winter. Therefore i had desperately tried to dry my clothes on heaters and such other creative ways. Ah, yes, i do recall passing the key to my room to my kind (and now engaged) comrade-neigbour : Ms Wee See, to her good hands i handed the clothes. Before this, i had rushed to Bernice's place with the bucket of semi dried clothes, quite distraught, as a matter of fact, of what to do with them. And so i discovered that we were only dued to leave, really at a later time than was informed to me before. I was angered and perhaps lashed at out Ms Bernice. Bernice had told me an earlier time for fear that i might be delayed (as is iconic of me). Still, i was quite angered by it all. She stated that she was not happy with my expression of anger as such, and then that it was a bygone to be put aside. I must say that this is one of the things that made me appreciate much of my relationship with Bernice, that it was upfront and bygones were let to lie low. So then at Melbourne airport, my aunt and uncle were there and passed me some boxes of fruits to be brought back to Malaysia. In Malaysia, i had arrived just in time to meet my sister who left either the same day itself or the very next day (back to the UK). At the end of the 2-3weeks holiday, i brought back with me frozen curry and vegetables made with love by grandmama. (these last me for months on end). Thereafter, very shortly after returning, a fell sick in a serious way and was in bed most times. I thought sometimes that if i were to die, no one would have even noticed it for days or weeks on end. In this time, Irene, my back housemate, did the most wonderful thing for me. She cooked for me, ah, was i ever more grateful. Someone cared for me in a practical way. Shortly after, just as i got well (i think) i met up with the firsts internet friends i made in Adelaide. This was to be the start of the revelation of one aspect of me. Simply said, people came and went, but i am glad for them. I was set free in a huge sense from these associations. Then in me emerged feelings of despair which led up to sessions with a 'shrink' lady. I am eternally glad to meet the angels that i met. The professor which i met once, answered my rather depressive question of my self worth with "You are worthy because you are a human being". That was a revelation to me. Thereafter, my circle of friends expanded much more, where i had the opportunity to mingle around all of the 'grouped ppl'. I am thankful for all who had came into my live, the roles they played and especially my mother who was the main instrument to my presence in Adelaide and UniSA. ... Those were among the best days of my life, in my existing consciousness. Dayo & Laiping, Wee See, May, Eric, Rosh, Irene, Allan, Chris, Aaron, Tili, Bernice, Alicia, Poh Ling, Anne, Karen, Gaya, Hendrick, Shermayne, Adrian, Sharm, Yumi, Sashi, Hanis!, Kok Tong, Justin, Freddy, Hema, Andrew, Gillian, Felicia and the whole gang of you. It was a wonderful time where we extended ourselves and encompassed, and accepted each other. I thank you and wish you all the best, Peace, and Eternal Joy. |
