hello everybody. sorry for the long absence. been really busy slacking off. haha. time to update on certain things. hehe. =)
school has been good so far. lectures are all coming together. we getting more and more into the exercise science stuff than just how to score in assignments and all. have a new friend Tim. he's the only one talking to me as a friend. the others just know me as lester, the international kid. haha. one shitty thing is i gotta run three times a week man. and with collected timing somemore. i know i know.. many of u must be bloody hell this is a crazy course. hehe. but it's meant for crazy ppl like me.
as for everything else at homeeeee, my uncle just passed away recently. it's kinda sad because i cant be there to send him off on his funeral. but at least we all know that he and my auntie can finally be reunited again. his life has been very impactful on all our lives. for me, i always remebered as a young kid that we would go visit him and with his feeble voice, he would never fail to entertain me with either jokes or tricks. growing up now, i sometimes pity him for the kind of son he has. his son has shown me how i shouldnt treat my father or mother for granted. how i should in fact repay them for everything they provide to me as soon as i can. honestly, i dun like this cousin of mine. but afterall he is my cousin. i still gotta treat him as a cousin. i jus pray that my uncle and auntie will be reunited with Him.
somehow, i can imagine what's my dad's reaction if he saw this post of mine. he would say no matter how bad the son, he is still the father's son and the father will still love him. this makes me realise that fathers, especially my dad, are in fact very forgiving but we should never take them for granted. for all the cooking, washing, serving, paying, cleaning which my dad did for me.. thank you dad.
kinda miss my family alot now. 5 weeks since i've been here. the longest i have been away is 2 months. but i had to go back after those 2 months. for this time, i know i still have a long way to go before i go back. so ya. kinda sucks. but no worries, ah pa ah bu. i am studying hard ah. and saving as much money as i can for u. haha. dun have to worry about me here not having enough money. if not enough den i will head to sch for free meals lor. we do have it here! haha. as for my sister, she still irritates me online even when i am already in australia. she just never know when to stop. but that's how brothers and sisters work right? love = irritation. haha. all the best for ur selections. i pray u get what u wan! and u better strive to do well for it okie? secondary school is over. the real studies start now. =)
okie. i think i have updated enough for nowww.. haha. up next will be many many photos over the past 1-2 weeks. =)

no more familiar faces.. those i see everyday everywhere..
no more familiar voices.. those teaching me broken chinese.. or those midnight supper voices..
no more familiar walks.. those back home.. or those along suntec..
no more familiar smiles.. those of my parents.. those of my sister..
no more familiar buddies.. those frequent members of mr bean & happy daze..
no more familiar nightlife.. those hanging around orchard road at 3am in the morning..
now all the new faces.. those i have never in my life seen before..
now all the new voices.. those with accents who dun understand mine..
now all the new walks.. those to school or to the city.. or those to the tram stop..
now all the new smiles.. those who pity me for being the only international student..
now all the new challenges.. those who test me time and time again..
now i just want all the familiar..
but all i have is the new..
though the trials and all..
all i gotta say.. is thank you i love u..
but i got u.. and that's all i need.. =)
