back home in M'sia =)

Being back home has been..an added weight of burdens. But then again, everyone has their own set of burdens, huh?

But since coming back home 2 nights ago, I thank God for everything that has happened. I thank him for the conversations I've been able to have & time spent with various people within my family, and also a few other people and dear friends. As I write this now, my bro is studying for his professional accounting paper for his exam next monday and i am using his work laptop. He just allowed me to see all these photos from his company annual dinner and his girlfriend's facebook. It feels kinda nice that he's willing to let me see them and tell me the names of these people. Now i know what a "socialite" he's been! =P And he changed my wallpaper of my mobile phone to pink leaves (looks pretty nice actually) AND he added a "special" picture with the words "sze wen sux" that comes on when i switch on my phone after turning it off. I have no idea how to do all these things. That cow =P

It's a little weird how I'm back home now and not in Sydney and it's almost the end of the week already!! Like we always say at work..."Finally it's Friday!!". To be honest, I didn't feel that excited on my last day of work for the year last Friday. I was busy all day and rushing to pack up stuff to go home. As i was driving out of the office compound, thought to myself "this is the last time I'm going to see this place for the year. last time I'm going to see these roads for the year."..And I'm missing out on the christmas lunch!!! ....strange...

But yeah, Monday came, and i was glad i didn't have to get up for work!!! I went to watch "Australia" with my aunty - thought it was funny and touching...I liked the movie =) and I don't care what other people think but I like Nicole Kidman.

I wasn't really ready to leave Sydney on Tuesday. And my grandfather (and everyone in my other aunty's household) made me stay the night before at their place when it was only 11 pm! I left at 6+ am through even more traffic but beautiful scenery. And I don't regret going to visit them so late the day before as unexpectedly, i had a really heart-to-heart talk with my cousin about what was happening in her life now as she was feeling very down. So, that Tuesday, was rushing all the way to do last minute stuff. wished i had more time...as usual. But then my fault for my last-minuteness. I can't really complain after what happened to poor mandy jie.. (go ask her).

The things that struck my heart most the days before i left were two people whom i felt difficult to talk to. One gave me a hug and told me to enjoy my holidays and that they'd miss me --> it was nice in a way. i was just touched by her warmth in a way - even for that little bit. The other friend - i felt touched by the amount she talked and opened up to me and willingness to spend the time with me. I really thank God for how he's worked in her life this year.

Anyway I should go to bed now...It is like 7 am in Sydney - time for me to get up to go to work. 4 a.m. here....yes, I'm still up - i was falling asleep just now at 1 am. but a late shower and coming down to disturb my brother and use his laptop has made me awake. I'm going to see if my sister has woken up yet - she has crazy work hours seriously... and my other brother...he came back at 2 am just now!!!!

crazy crazyyyyy

actualy i think i hear her upstairs - she must be awake....

good night
