Everyone is celebrating their 21st birthdays already. Reading some of the post that Adrian and Jas wrote make me feel sad. =(

I’m going to be 21 this year and it is going to be soon. Hehehe this post is sort of a reminder so that you guys can save up and buy me presents. Lol. Just kidding. I just feel that it is kinda sad cause I will be celebrating it like alone in a foreign land. I mean of course I have made nice new friends but it would be even more meaningful if you could celebrate it with your old friends back home. Nothing big, but just like in the company of people you know well and feel real comfortable with. Just joking and having laughs together. But I guess you don’t always get what you want in life. So you got to deal with it! but you turn 21 once in your life only!! hhahhah nothing big really actually for me..

So anyways as you guys know that I am quite a cry baby. HEHE for those who don’t know, YES I AM emotional. My friends would know when I hug each of them at the airport with tears running down. But too bad no proof …except …the video that CHRISTOPHER took and those who was there. I guess you guys never see that side of me before. It was pretty emotional. I was still crying when I was in the plane……alright alright…laugh all you want….but it is hard.

To leave those you love, those you are so comfortable with, those you know almost your whole life…it is something that is hard and i thought I was stronger than that but I’m not. The first week was like crazy for me. You will feel like…why am i here? With no friends and all on your own. I can tell you it is crazy. But after awhile you learn to adapt, make new friends, do things on your own, do groceries, cook, wash clothes, look for job and everything. To tell you the truth I think this is one of the best life changing experience. If you have the opportunity go for it. I really thank my family for giving me this opportunity. From now on, I can tell you that I can survive on my own anywhere in the world.

For those who have doubt of going overseas, my advice go for it! and for those who have been in a foreign land, do take some time to help those who are new. You don’ know how much it can help them but by saying that they need to help themselves too.

Sorry guys…don’t know why my entry a little messed up with the topics today…i guess it is the flu that is affecting me. Anyway got to get some rest and HAPPY 21st to all people born in 84. Enjoy.
