end of one chapter and beginning of another

it's funny how circumstances bind people together. when i first moved to melbourne i was so majorly home sick. i didn't like anything about melbourne, nor the ppl i met here. it was different for sure but i just didnt wanna move away from home and find myself. i was looking fwd to winter vacation so badly because i was coming home. even when i left to come back to melbourne i was really upset.

however, it was nice to meet familiar faces in melbourne this time and exchange stories of our holidays bck at home. guess this semester everybody were just more comfortable with each other and the fact tht we've been through one sem of uni and we passed kinda gave us the idea of wht uni is like and how the system works. party hard sem tht's for sure. clubbing every friday, chilling in each others room, problems tht arose...whteva it was bonds were formed tht's for sure. especially for me as last sem i didnt mingle as much as i did this sem. looked beyond the front tht people put on. at the end of the day, the misunderstandings, the arguments, the bitching, the drama had its benefits. no matter what, we are family. i never thought that i would make good friends here but guess what i have. at the end of the day, family and friends are support systems, and people need support every single day. a sense of belonging. yesterday, sandhya left for singapore. i was never close to this chick but this sem we were neighbours and i actually got to know her pretty damn gd. i felt upset that she left. i am gonna see her next yr for sure, we're both doing vet science but i guess its the fact that this year has ended and we're not gonna be seeing each other for the next 3 months. after practically living together, its hard to not see each other for that long.

the person i'd miss the most is richa koshy, the most awesome chick i've met in melbourne. we've lived together in each others room for about 1 month now. both of us have this really strong connection because we share almost the same views on life and basically we had similar problems and needs at exactly the same time. talking to her was like talking to my inner voice. silence between us signals comfort. the laughter, the tears, the pimping and playing was all good.

i guess what im getting at is that part of me does not wanna leave melbourne city. the place i disliked completely 4 months ago is now home. of course there's no real home like malaysia but this place, my friends here are my home for now and its sad that we're parting even for a short while.
