Winter here is almost ending, and I must say that I am not sorry at all. I miss the hot Mr Sun and his lovely rays. Winter is cool, windy and of course, the rain never fail to get on my nerves. But other than that, the surroundings are still as beautiful as ever. People are walking so fast to get out of the cold. Boots, jackets, hot chocolates and umbrellas are the pictures that I see most of the time in Winter. My day in school was a peaceful one. Went to see a student advisor regarding my study plan, he is a nice guy and it's funny how you can end up meeting a person whom you've emailed randomly about more than a year ago to ask about honours programme here in uwa. Like what my mum said, I can match a face to a familiar name. Uwa and Nus have so much in common. So similar, yet so different! Anyway, I'll be doing a 3 sem honours programme. Which means, I will only graduate end of next year. Yup. Looking forward to get a part time job here as my sem is so not heavy at all. Have applied to diva and cotton on, not sure how it'll goes. My bro just emailed me today that he has helped me return my matric card to Nus' office. With that gone, I'm officially not allowed to enter any libraries or rooms with special pass required. I've gotten my degree certificate and official transcript from Nus too. They are now in the safe hands of my brother. Anyway, I'm not an Arts student anymore. After holding a record of 6 years being an Arts student (2006-2011), I am now a science student. That's because the department of psychology in Uwa is in science. Sad yet glad to have a change after so long. I have always believed that Arts is and will still always be a huge part in my life.
It's exciting to see how things just slowly fall into place. I know that above all I still have to remain faithful and trusting Him for an awesome plan in my life. So far, so good. Cell group has been going well so far. Really thank God for the people here. Everybody is welcoming, friendly, and I like it how you can be yourself as everyone around you came from where I've came from and speak like how I speak.
Grandmama seems to be adjusting reasonably well too. She hates the cold, but I know she is contended wherever He leads. To her, any house is His house. My bro misses Aussie, can't blame him. His entire family is here, but it was his choice to finish up honours in Nus. About one year ago, he was discussing this huge dilemma with me. Thank God everything worked out and he is now staying at U-town. Monkey is stressed out about school. Lectures, presentations, endless readings and crazy assignments are the things that stress her out. I guess that's part of uni life. I'm sure after a sem or 2, she'll get the hang of it (just like how everybody does who was an undergrad before). Papa and mummy are starting to apply for jobs, though their age is quite good for retirement, finding something to keep them occupied seems like a favourable thing to do. Mum always tells me that we have to start stocking up our funds too (I want to help join in too).
Oh and guess what, Fathers' Day is in September here in Perth. cool right? Think in Singapore it was like June or something?
At the end of the day, I'll just commit my life once again to Him and ya, to be grateful and excited as life starts to stabalise.
Don't go through life, GROW through it.
