Intro
Zeng.
Loves Singapore and Gippsland, Vic, Australia.
Am experiencing the four seasons of the year for this first time in my life.
Got the chance to wear winter clothes for the first time too...
Got the chance to switch on the heater in the day and at night to keep warm...
Got the chance to get extremely dry skin and understand that we can never get the best of both worlds...
Got to see places where there's more cows than people, more trees than buildings, more love than scams...
Sometimes misses hot and humid and unpredictably rainy weather...
Constantly misses the love for me from the little red dot...
PROFILE
Learning in an instituition called university...
To be precise, the place is called Monash University
To be more exact, it's called Monash University, Gippsland campus
To be very clear, I'm studying in Monash University, Gippsland campus, undertaking BA (Psych and Humans)
To paint the most descriptive picture, my main interest is in education.
But I'm learning about psychology, sociology (mostly under Aussie context) and History-politcs for now.
Social justice issues, politics, education, environmental issues, social realities and things like that intrigues me...
For additional information, I'm not doing that well most of the time.
But don't you dare judge!
There's ups and downs and you never know how high up I can get...
I don't know too but we'll find out...
It's a constant struggle but,
It's never too old to learn.
Never too poor to school.
Never too stupid to think.

Day 8 9:11 PM
I'm back! Life has been great. I realised how much I've grown over the past 9 months.
9 months. What comes to mind when I mention 9 months? A baby could have been conceived and be born in 9 months. Other than the time that I was in my mother's womb, I probably hadn't had a more meaningful 9 months.
I have learnt so much that what I have learnt will change my life forever. I have learnt to be braver, to be more confident of myself, of how the world is wonderful but at the same time needs more justice. I have learnt of limitations, of the worthiness of working hard, and the meaning of being an adult. It means that I have to step out of my comfort zone. To explore. To be more thick-skinned. To be humble. To find out for myself what is happening out there and not allow myself to be stuck in my own world. I have to dare to dream so that I can live the dream.
Now that I'm back for the summer, I am instantly recharged. In the past 7 days since I'm back, I feel all the love again. I have seen some changes in Singapore since when I left it, but I still feel so at home, so at ease that I probably will be reluctant to leave in February, but I know I have to. I will treasure every moment I have back home.
Luv,
Me
p/s: I rented the DVD "Beyond Rangoon" and once again, am touched by the brave souls who dare to fight for justice. Watch it if you're interested cos it's great!
