Providential


I've always wanted to take a photo of the beautiful field of flowers planted within the big roundabout outside my housing estate.
Every time I drove past, I told myself, there will be another time, another opportunity.

Today,
I got back from a lovely gathering with some of my closest uni buddies,
a final meet up, so to speak,
before we all disperse all over the world in the next 3 months.

Reminiscing the incredible events each and every one of us have gone through this year,
I was reminded again,
that, time truly waits for no one.

And so,
I finally picked up my camera, dangled it around my neck, walked towards the roundabout and made the shuttle work.

I don't care if I look goofy or weird,
I just want to live this moment.

Mamak

Culture
I love Mamak!

I think
I'll love it even more
if I can have them
10 times cheaper
in 4 days time.


It's not about Indian Muslims.
It's not just about the food.
It's about the gatherings,
the memories,
the relationships. 

It's
more of a culture.

And so I realised,
life cannot be measured with money.

Gigabytes

Entertainment


I want to
 fill you up
and 
make you 
a witness
of my journey
of
self-discovery.


I'm not greedy,
320GB
is enough.

Study

Side-by-side

Been doing a lot of writing today,
not the right kind of writing,
didn't find essay attractive,
I like blogging better.

Been drinking a lot of V yesterday,
not the full strength version of V,
didn't find any funny insect in it,
I like coffee better.


Hmm...
I don't know what I'm blabbing about,
but I know there's only one more day to go.
=)

Friendly Strangers

Half A Day For You

It's funny how whenever you put a whole bunch of Malaysians together,
they would inevitably bond over food.

Dear Campbelltown

Cross

Dear Campbelltown,

I know I've professed my love for you in the past, but today, being my last day walking alongside with you, I can't help but reflect upon how far I've come, how much I've learned, and how much I've grown.

We've known each other for 4 years. They say 4 years is a long time, people finish a university degree in 4 years, tiny humans learn to speak and run in 4 years, mothers could have at least 5 new children in 4 years, a total of 16 seasons, 48 months, 208 weeks, 1450+ days, 35000+ hours. Yes, a long time.

People tend to misunderstand you sometimes, you seem to pop up in the list of "The worst xxxxx in Sydney" everywhere, your pal Campbelltown Hospital constantly made headlines at least a few times a year, and don't get me started on the empire of fastfood outlets and steak houses there. People just couldn't see your potential.

Sure, we have our differences. But I know for sure that, without knowing you, I would probably become a person that I don't want myself to be. You've opened my eyes to the world, taught me real diversity, tolerance and the sense of community.

As much as I've joked about you to others throughout the years, I know that you know that it's just my way of saying how much I appreciate what you have done for me. It's been good fun knowing you, and I would never ever exchange the experiences I've accumulated in this 4 years for anything.

Well, farewell my dear friend. And we will definitely catch up again, some time in the future.

Love always,
Shihui
PS: You better know how to pronounce my name properly next time I see you! xD
