A New Beginning

It has been months since I posted any entry to this blog. If there is such a record, I would have broken the record of the longest writer’s block. With a lot of things going on; revisions, exams, university applications, new semester, more friends to make and the all the social events, blogging apparently took a backseat. My tendency to procrastinate did not help either. Result, a blog that is filled with outdated posts.

To be able to write, one needs to be well informed. In a way, I guess the months long hiatus is just what I needed. It allowed me to take a step back and reorganise my thoughts, gain new insights from blogs written by friends and personalities, to give a chance for me to finish reading most of the books that I’ve started (but never got the chance of finishing) and most importantly it allowed me to live my life and learning through it.

I hope that any new anecdotes that I gain from the ‘break’ would add some colour to my future posts. With that said, I’ll try my best keep this blog as up to date as I can. That is my promise to you. To kick off this semester, let me sum up my winter break for you guys.

As much as I have hoped to watch as many movies that I can when I’m in Malaysia (coz its way cheaper there), I only went for two and they were both Transformers. This is way off target compared to my friend who managed to watch practically every movie in GSC. I feel like banging my head with my ECONS reading brick for failing to seize that chance and ending up paying $12 for a movie in Canberra, *sigh*

Other than that, ‘mamak’ing is definitely a must. Mamak + Friends= Time well spent. This relatively short winter break was mainly with catching up with friends especially those who are pursuing their studies overseas. Since most of them are inbound for UK or other European countries which timing of breaks do not coincide with Australia, I tried my best to spend time with each and every one of them.

Despite my best efforts, I couldn’t manage meet up with some of you guys. Sorry Quchai, perhaps next time. Sorry Meno, can't see you off at the airport, return ticket to KLIA is kind of expensive for me. Would’ve been nice if you had joined Haqqa, Hazwan, Baku, Ale and I for Karaoke the other night. Maybe we could’ve also ‘kikis’ you while we were at it. An honour for any overseas bound 0206J.

Good luck to all of you from SKRM, MCKK, HELP and ANU. May this new beginning gives us the adventure that we have been longing for.
