so week 12 of uni is just about to end. this sem has past so quick!! far out. Anyways, it's a good feeling that i'm finishing uni soon. really soon. my first exam is on the 27th. so I have exactly 2 weeks. pumped.
It's been a good 2 years here in Melbourne. many new experiences. many new friends. Good memories, that will stay with me for life. I have about 9 weeks left here. gotta make sure they'll be an awesome 9 weeks. :)
It's been quite awhile since I was back in Malaysia. I didn't realize it, until I looked at the pics of my family and friends. I can actually see the difference from the last time I saw them. now I know how it felt when my older friends were saying "Wow Dan, you're so grown up now". Makes me feel old. Haha!!
A few things that recently happened got me thinking about how to be a person. Like they say in chinese (makes more sense in chinese), "zhen yang zuo ren". What kinda person a person should be. Respect, courtesy, chivalry, honor, etc. Throwing away all the bullshit, all the methods to gain power in relationships, all the mind games. How someone should be for himself/herself. Not for anyone else. And I've concluded a few things.
First, never get tired of being the 'bigger person' in a situation. because it's the right thing to do. Second, it's ok to be the person that's always there for someone, even if it means just being a 'friend' when you actually want to be something more than that. Third, be the perfect gentleman (applies to both guys and girls). be that for yourself. not anyone else. Be these things to be proud of yourself. be them so you'll be able to look back and say, "Yes, I'm glad was one of the better people". Cause at the end of the day, we are responsible for what we do, say and who we are.
On a lighter note, check out this track.

I know you're feeling restless
Like life's not on your side
It's weighing heavy on your mind
But when we stand united
Out hearts, they beat in time
I know we'll make it all alright
Let's bring it back to you and me
There's no one else around
Now don't get lost in gravity
'Cause I want you to hold me now,
Nothing else matters
And if it all falls down,
Nothing else matters.
I know we're strong enough
