Sometimes it feels like you are walking a long lonely road all by yourself. I just called mum and told her I might want to fly back for Chinese New years, but after the conversation started to get to a point where everything was about what my grandparents says about me, I gave up the thought of going back. They think it's so easy to live in Melbourne for the pass 3 years all by myself. Coming here with $740 aussie dollar 3 years ago to start a life, isn't much. Even thou school fees where pretty much paid for, for the first 6 months, I still had to work 4 jobs and try to save up enough money for 2nd year of uni. Among all that, I needed to still have a life or else I would have gone nuts and ended up in a mental hospital by now. Fast track 3 years down the road, I am still walking on this path alone, when troubles came my way, it is not my family that i seek help form for they will give me 1001 reasons why I shouldn't get into trouble in the first place. When trouble comes, it is God that I look up to, and the "family" He gave me here in Melbourne called PLANETSHAKERS! Without you these guys, I would have crash and burn long ago. Although I still feel the same financially, but walking down this road now, I know that I do not have to fear, for when My GOD is with me, who can stand against me!
Amen to that brother...!

@Treeeeesh: I will! but i seriously have alot to learn about photoshop! hahaha i think i'm just getting lucky and some of my photo's aren't even nice~ plus! i need a SLR! hahaha
Haha. I dont use photoshop much for my photos that I post. Most of it is what you see is what you get.
Yes, a SLR camera would make a difference in photos in general.

@Rebecca: Thank You! means alot!
you never realised that if they dont talk about u, it means that they dont even care about you! nobody is picking on ur mistakes, they are just hoping you'll eventually learn from it. it isnt easy for us to hear them rambling everytime they get back and start complaining EITHER! do you seriously think that thats what we wana hear? i've always been defending u against mum or grams, telling them that you're mature enough to solve your own prob and they should stop complaining and leave u to do what you wana do. BUT do you see that? NO! so stop saying we dont care! we have always been here to start off. you think that mum doenst pay for some of ur financial difficulties huh? think again! if she doesnt pay, i would have long be in aussie as well. so consider urself lucky and be grateful!

@Sis: I am lucky and grateful. but alot of the times, i just feel really down when everytime i call home, it's always about money or about what i did wrong. why do u think i don't call home that much? I know both you and mum have been there for me. and I really thank God for that. but trying to start a life alone is not easy. not when 3/4 of your pay goes to rent/food/bills. It's like all that hard work day in and day our is just to stay alive! I need a breakthru man! seriously.... and i believe that God will provide one for me one way or another!!!!
its great that your thinking that way. well, we all have to face the fact that when your making just enough to stay alive, thats what life is. so till u find another way or a better way, u'll just have to do it that way. it isnt easy for mum as well, sometimes its just a reminder for you and not nagggin. u just have to look at it in a diff point of view and u wont find it annoyin. haha
