Classes have started.Its been alright so far.have to get used to studying all over again.As much as this place doesnt feel unfamiliar because I have been here a few times,its still with a bit of unease that i walk the streets.

Many think that being overseas is glamourous,is the thing.Many think the being overseas is an incredible experience.It is exciting no doubt.But as I have found out,the grass is always greener on the other side.It is with much discomfort that I start and carve out a new life for myself here.There are just so many things to balance and one has to work extra hard to prove himself in a place where fish&chips are better than sweet and sour fish.As much as we would like to think that everyone is friendly and welcoming,it somehow becomes clear that it isnt really the case.

Being away from what is familiar,being away from friends.You learn how to treasure what you had.Friends,familiarity,comfortable routines.I realised what friendship means and the value of it.How disappointing some friends can be and what true friends really are.Its sad to see how some people just want to just disappear from your life.Its fine really.I have accepted it as life.You try and maintain friendships,but you cant help friends coming and going.Just treasure the present,hope for the future and dont expect.

We are all at the stage of carving out a future for ourselves.I am in Aust now.Soon Sean will leave for Brisbane,dave,bert and tris will leave for US and UK respectively.Who are we going to leave behind in our pursuit of stability and the high life.
