Into The New World

the above picture is SNSD's Into The New World song's picture. it inspires me of what we were, how do we change as time passes by, what do we do to achieve our goals, and how do you do to gain success that we dream of.

that's what i'll be experiencing in 2 days time, entering a whole new world with bright future and precious experience to be discovered and explored. in 2 days time, i'll be away from beloved family, local-made friends and relatives, not to mention i'm leaving them and Malaysia for 4 years to further my studies in the University of Adelaide.

for now, there's nothing that i can feel within myself. not that i'm excited to fly, and not that i'm so sad to leave home for Australia. maybe it's just too early to feel both ways. rather i am looking forward to flying and continuing my studies and getting the chance to perform excellently in what i am doing, and what i am aiming for in the future, which is to become a successful lawyer.

entering a new world, isn't bad to gain lots of knowledge that this world holds, unravel lots of mysteries that this world covers, and meet other communities and exchange our perceptions and opinions in every field that this world dominates. but 1 thing for sure, challenges are waiting for us, to make us hurt and rather disappointed of facing failures in everything we struggled just to be as successful as we can achieve.

i do admit that i'm not so strong, even i don't know what would i do if failures come and hit me non-stop. however, failures aren't bad friends, they teach us to be stronger day by day, more determined, and able to stand up if we have fallen. there's no gain with no pain. the damage that you have been inflicted with does not kill you straight away, and failures are not meant to kill, rather they are needed for betterment.

this is what i will uphold while being in foreign country. i'll always remember that no one will help us throughout our journey all the time, except ourselves. be independent, and more responsible to myself, that's the key to success.

that's it, bring it on!

Current Updates

well, i have done with visa application, including medical check up at Goh Tiow Beng Clinic and Putra Specialist Hospital in Melaka. i'm now of course waiting for approval, and honestly i'm worried if it could not pass through the Australian High Commission in Kuala Lumpur. in other words, i'm afraid if i would not be granted an approved visa.

JPA staff called me yesterday, informing that pre-departure briefing is on this Thursday, and surprisingly we have to wear formal attire! Luckily i haven't banished my BTN shirt before i need to buy a new one. No matter, i don't expect to wear that short-sleeved shirt since i'll be wearing my own formal attire, which does not meet JPA's requirement totally.XD

there are lots of things i have to buy some more, and i'm expecting this Thursday is JPA-paying-back-our-money day since my wallet has been emptied after first phase shopping.XD

not to be rude or anything, but it seems JPA is working inefficiently since we have stranded students who are still here in Malaysia when their classes have already started a week ago. Congratulations for making the students spare time to spend with their families when they have already been expecting their children to perform excellently in their studies with full attendance ever since a week ago!

i hope this case won't be repeated when i am about to fly. even if we get to fly, does not mean we're leaving according to schedule. when a schedule is not being followed, that's how ones could see the efficiency.
