WOW! So i actually abandoned my blog for 3 months. Unbelievable.
After I came back from Germany, I went straight away into college(the 2nd day!), so meaning I was busy for my studies since I came back. What can I say? This is one of the most adorable Malaysian cultures: study, studies and study studies. X.x
My other exchange friends categorised me as ‘crazy’. No one went straight away into college just on the 2nd day after arriving in Malaysia.
I actually agreed with them. I was not used to the weather, time difference and culture shock. I couldn’t sleep well at night and felt sleepy in the afternoon for the 1st two weeks. And I felt so strange sleeping in the air-con room. Nevertheless what shocked me was that I actually got used to the weather just in 2 days time. Imagine changing from a weather of less than zero degree C to a weather of 30 degree C. It’s killing.
The air here is so so so humid. I couldn’t breathe and my body was like surrounded by hot vapour.
I thought I would go straight to eat Nasi Lemak, Mee Goreng, Roti Canai and etc. just after arriving in Malaysia but I didn’t. I wonder why I lost the appetite. Bet I was afraid that it would end up with stomachache.
The 1st day at college was just too AMAZING. The people here were just too NICE! And finally I know why the exchange students in Malaysia love Malaysia so much. LOL. I love my class and classmates so much! It’s so much differences with the Germans. Sorry to say that but I definitely won’t miss my school life in Germany. Didn’t even bother to think of it.
I was grateful that I have chosen to start school immediately. If I stayed at home, I would have gone crazy. Eventually I have to agree with what the AFSers told us during the last camping: family would be the greatest problem when we were back to our own country. It’s nothing wrong with our family, just that when you experienced another family lifestyle for one year, changing back to the original would be a bit difficult.
Chinese New Year was amazing too! It’s so nice to meet old friends again and went bai nian house to house with them. And I finally cut my hair after one year time!
It’s NIU year!
Boys who like to pose =.=”
CNY was short, only 1 week. Too bad.
Seriously, I couldn’t catch up in class after having one year of idle school life in Germany. Paying attention in class was hard for me and I forgot most of the things I’ve learned for SPM. The 1st month was hard but I have a lot of nice friends who helped me. Thanks a lot!!!
Some of the people asked me if I regretted on wasting time for exchange and became one year late for school. My answer is definitely NO!
People like this always exist,especially in this country. They think studies are the most important thing in life. So they think this exchange program is the same like travelling, because they express themselves like: Why go exchange? I can study hard now and I earn lots of money in the future, and then I can go travelling in other countries too. It’s the same!
HAHA. So funny. It’s definitely not the same! You could only see ‘the top of the iceberg’ of that country when you go travelling. But after you went exchange, what you learned are more than what you expected! You got a new family, you learned new language, you got local friends, you met a lot of exchange students from other countries, you experienced a new culture, you coped with difficulties, you became independent, you……the list goes on…
Life goes on…and my exchange year will be the most memorable and wonderful experience in my life…ever ever… =)
