Heavy Hearted

It has been almost two whole months since I last posted an update. All these while, I was back in my home country - Malaysia to have a rest and also to visit my sister as well as attend her graduation ceremony. Upon coming back this year, I have learnt many a things and also start to see things in a different perspective. I was always a very childish guy to begin with, but with the years of staying alone overseas, I had no choice but to toughen up a little. Each and every small thing contributed to my transformation. Now that I have turned 21, I am beginning to see the world in a different angle, to try to stand in other's shoes and think. I find that doing so, I can understand better some of their actions. But as we grow older and start accepting resposibilities, we also start to have more to worry about. Growing up, learning how to socialize, adapting to the norms of the society, that is part and parcel of life. As human beings living in the 21st century it is what we need to do. Time to lighten up the mood a bit. Somethings about my holidays. This year, I had the chance to attend my sister's graduation in New South Wales University in Sydney and also a detour to New Zealand for a holiday with my family. The place was like BEAUtiful ... It is soooo awesome, the scenery and landscapes were breath taking. On my 21st birthday, I had a very memorable and unforgetable time. This was not due to the party i had with my friends(which I didn't actually have) nor the presents I recieved (although the ones i received from my parents were totally awesome). It was because of what I did on that auspicious day. It was the day in which I jumped off the Kawarau Bridge - the spot where Bungy Jumping first started. Yes, I did a Bungy jump on my 21st birthday. I was always a acrophobic (someone who is scared of heigts) and a barophobic ( someone who is afraid of the gravity pull/G-force). Though after doing the jump, it wasn't as scary as I thought. Maybe I would challenge the higher one next time, but that will be a story for another time. Time to go. Next time folks
