Update on my life

I have been a much happier person recently.

I made a lot of new friends and non of them are from Malaysia. Well, non of them are even Asians. And I really enjoy their company. Went to Helen’s Bday party one Saturday and it was an eye opener. I was one of the only 2 Asian girls out of 30-40 people from US, Europe and Aus there and heck, I didnt feel out of place at all.

In fact, it was the best party I have ever attended. It was a party I have enjoyed myself the most. I even drank two bottles of liqour(ppl who knows me know that I dont really like to drink)! It was a toga party and everyone turned up in their toga(bedsheet/curtain) and I admire their spirit so much. If I were to throw a toga party in M’sia, I am sure it would have been a failure.

I remember bitching about my housemates being noisy and stuffs at the begining of this semester but.. but… I love them all now!

I really admire them in someways. In the way that they were brought up, their thinking, their attitude and spirit. And they inspire me a lot. It is during this time when I feel really fortunate to be a Malaysia because I am able to communicate well with both the Western and Eastern people. I am really glad that I did not stick only Asians like my two Chinese housemates because making friends with the westerners really broaden my mind.

Before this I never thought I’ld be able to play beach volleyball like how I am able to now. I never thought that I would be able to play tennis like I am able to now. These people are so supportive and encouraging that you’ld still feel happy even if you played crappy.

I love them. I gained my self esteem back from them. My self-confidence too. I feel so good now! I am not worried about being a size 8 anymore! I am not worried about being tanned anymore! I am not worried about a lot of things anymore because my housemates showed me that they live much happier without worrying much. Things will fall into places as things proceed.

I cant put in words how much I appreciate what I have learned from them.

All I can say is, I am really glad that I came here. How foolish I was.
