It's been a long time since i've posted anything. Well i'm up at 5am wondering what's there to do and i don't wanna go to bed because i'll definitely not wake up for my 9am class. So.. i'm just gonna sit here and listen to music, eat some breakfast, make some coffee and stay up the whole day later. Ever wondered what will your life be now if you didn't make a particular choice back in time or you were born to a different family? I wondered where would i be right now if i didn't had the parents i have. Let's say i was born into a lower class family where it's the norm to fail in school and become a delinquent (not that all of them turns out like that, just IF), what would i be doing right now? I wouldn't have made it into SJI meeting alex and clarence, both of them heavily influencing my decision to come to Melbourne in the first place.
Right now i'm staring out of the windows, buildings illuminating the night of Melbourne's sky, feeling peaceful. I'm pretty thankful to both of them for giving me the courage to plunge myself into unfamiliar territory, something which i don't think would happen if they stayed behind in SG. They gave me the opportunity to go out and explore the world and not cocoon myself in the safety SG provides. Of course, there's a price to pay. I have to worry constantly about bills, expenditure and rent. My mom's busting her ass to send me here. For that i'm pretty thankful that my mom's supportive of me going away. Honestly i don't foresee a future for myself if i've stayed in SG. Coming here has given me a new perspective on life, and opened my mind up to more opportunities.
I keep wanting to get away from SG. I don't know why i wanna get out of SG so much. Seriously i'm excited about going back this dec is just because I miss Clarence, food and the lack of responsibility. I still detest SG as a home. I very much prefer living here in Melbourne. However, it's still early to say as i've only been here for a year. Can't say if I wanna go home or elsewhere after i finished my undergrad.
