having a blast!

It's my birthday. My 32nd birthday. And what is the different between this one and the other 31birthdays that I had? Web 2.0 is the answer. My birthday used to be the day where i would personally celebrate usually by thanking Allah for another year of life given to me. Then it became small parties that includes me n my family. Normally I bake my own birthday cake (well my birthday always fall in school holiday) except for one year where a good friend remembered n we celebrated my birthday at the school canteen when we had extra class during the holiday. Then the rituals of me celebrating my own birthday continues for another few years. Then there's mobile phone. People can now make birthday wishes yet only close friend would know and remember. Now, with web 2.0 everybody knows and everybody remembers (well there is a reminder). Therefore thanks to the net we can actually become clser to each other though we are physically distanced.

Just write...

Someone told me that I need to just write. My feelings, my experience, my travel, anything... Just write them down... Make a schedule and find a time. Don't be too critical on yourself or you won't even start... That would be almost the same message that I've given to my students. but I suppose for a different purpose. To my students I ask them to read and write a lot. Just practice writing as much as you can. You may start shaky and you'll be rereading and rewriting what you've written, but practice makes perfect. writing helps you clear your mind. Writing sharpens your delivery skills for your assignments... Anyway, I hope this is a start. the beginning of a scheduled blog post. I hope I can share a lot with people (well not really).. But I guess what's important is that I'm sharing... perhaps in the future, if there are things that I've forgotten I may be able to look back into my notes and perhaps there's life events that I would cherished in...

My Sydney (Kingsford)

 My first time boarding a flight is to Sydney Australia. Never in my wildest dream to cross the oceans to live outside Malaysia for one and a half years. But it happened.. It really did happen. I was young then. Just graduated the year before and worked to fund my IELTS examinations and other preparations before flying off to the Wallabies Island. It was quite a terrifying thought as the furthest that I've been on my own was when I took the express bus to Perak to attend an interview. I remembered the day before. We had a small feast at home. Organised and prepared by the villagers. I was considered the first who went abroad at that time and in a way became the pride of the village. It was overwhelming to see how high was people expectation towards myself.  The day we left for Sydney I didn't know what to expect. Being a control freak I've checked out the university's website for more than 10 times. I even printed all the information that I thought may be useful (bus / ...
