Malaysia Tanah Airku - selamanya!

Been ages since I've written here - been 3 weeks or so.
In those 3 weeks my life has changed by leaps and bounds;
for those who know, I have 'relocated' to the city of Manchester, England, to pursue my degree in Law; or rather, to continue it.

I miss my family like nuts, though I'm not very homesick (yet).
The weather is freezing, but I'm getting pretty used to it...the body is intelligent in its own many ways!
The shopping here is pretty okay, but the food is average. Nothing beats Malaysian food.

And certainly, nothing beats Malaysian people and friends. Yes, people do get racist when there are money and opportunity issues involved - but honestly, we Malaysians love each other for who we are. We like each other even though they are Chinese or Malay or Indian or the in-betweens! We are friendly, hospitable, humourous and we are proud to be Malaysian in more ways than one.. I know I am, anyway!

I have made friends here - from Spain, Italy, Singapore, Hong Kong, Nigeria, Lithuania, France - but not ONE British citizen. Does that sound an alarm? I should think so..

But I am here to adapt and change my life for the better. I have to begin walking on my own two feet. I am proud to say I have ironed my own shirts, cleaned my own room, done my own laundry, washed my own dishes, cooked my own meals, bought my own groceries. I have walked miles and miles and complained, of course.. I will never ever take for granted my dad and mum again for driving us places and of course, the LRT station down the road from my SS2 home!


My dad was absolutely right - If Manchester doesn't make a woman out of me, nothing will.

Praise and Thank Jesus!
