This Is It......Closing of a Story

The reason I setup in blog was to blog about my life in Australia. Tomorrow, shall be my last day in Australia for at least a long long time. I'm still pondering should I continue blogging on this blog or just keep this blog as diary and remind myself how did this one year change my life tremendously.

This is what my house looks like a day before I leave. Rubbish everywhere, piled up clothes, last minute washing etc. Well, really no heart to pack because no heart to leave. Having severe separation anxiety.








Still squeezing as much as I can into a suitcase. Believe it or not, I'm allocated 40kg on Singapore Airline and my final weight is 50kg (I pack like a woman)!! Darn, I hope I'm able to pass the counter without being charge extra. Have to use my 'charming smile' and fool the lady....again...sigh.




My place of peace and serenity. My place of both vertical and horizontal position. Goodbye, Casablanca. I will always remember how well you tolerated me. Will miss all the four walls.


There will be a very high chance this will be my final post. If so, thank you for following danielwhydaniel.blogspot.com for the past one year. Otherwise, till me meet again.

Adious

Sunday, February the 13th 2011

So this is it. My final Sunday in Australia.

As I left Sydney yesterday, all that was on my mind was that as the final Saturday. Same time next week, I would be enjoying my first full day in Malaysia after one unforgettable year.

Thus today, Sunday, would be my final Sunday in Queensland. I notice I blog less these days since my camera decided to call it a day. Going the second time to Sydney without a camera is indeed sad. There were places I went which has good memories yet couldn't snap a picture. Nevertheless, there are some memories which can't be captured by camera, but will be stored in our memory forever I guess.

When I arrived home last night, I right away threw all my clothes from the closet, bag (practically every corner of the house) into my suitcase in the hall. I would need time to slowly fold them and pack them into my suitcase.

As I'm packing them, I'd the same feeling when I was packing to come to Australia. knowing that I would leave for Australia in a week's time. Now, its the reverse home sick, knowing that I will be leaving Australia for Malaysia, really really makes me sad.

The last Sydney trip was a good one for me. Since I did traveling by myself most of the time, I wanted to experience something Oz. So I took a train everywhere, drink in the pub....etc.

Likewise in Brisbane, this is what I will do in my few remaining days. Drink in Pig & Whistle, shop in DFO, buy my last scotch and whiskey and get drunk on Wednesday, recover from hangover on Thursday, then get back to Malaysia looking like a saint.

10 things I Wish to Achieve in 2011

One year ago, looking ahead for 2010, I knew it would be a very different and challenging year for me. I wished that I will have a great time in Australia and I will mature as a person. Looking back, I have to admit I have matured in many ways. I have learned to be independent and of course more responsible for my own self. This is partly due to the fact that since last year, I have to look for my own accommodation, buy my own groceries, study without guidance etc.

If I don't search for my own place, I will be homeless. If I'm lazy to do groceries, I shall remain hungry. If I don't do the laundry, I have no clothes to wear. Thus, I have matured and developed these 'survivor instincts'. Nevertheless, these are still considered minor and I have to work harder in order to prove to myself that I'm a completely grown person. Being 23 this year, its the time I have to plan my career and make decisions that would change my life. I have to have the courage to face whatever obstacle ahead of me and most importantly, 'DARE TO DREAM'.

In 2011, I wish to achieve 10 things. Below is my checklist:

1) Be strong and faithful spiritually.

2) Get a career and strive to learn as much as possible while making good money at the same time.

3) Find my passion is life and being able to chart my career path for at least the next 5 year.

4) Be kinder to my family.

5) Squeeze in some time to meet up with friends for yumcha.

6) Go for a short holiday around Malaysia.

7) Visit Thailand and have a good time doing things we can never do once we're old.

8) Loose another 5kg from my current weight.

9) ...something I wished ever since....Get A Girlfriend...(the hardest on the list perhaps)

10) Read at least 5 books....(excluding Facebook of course)...and magazines which encourages knowledge input.


And with that, if you support me, please leave a message or even a chatbox and let me know you support me in achieving these in 2011.

HAPPY NEW YEAR, folks!!
