A long day...

It's been a long day, as you can see. And it's still going on! Couple of Malaysians have come over, and we're all chatting away having a couple of drinks. Officially everyone is here to do some task for the Malaysian student association, but hey, get a bunch of us around and everyone is social!

It really does feel like a home now, I think. We have a 5.1 sound system for a 42 inch LCD screen, with cable and a very decent internet connection and a powerful WiFi that reaches far enough for all of us. This really does feel like a home now.

Classes seem interesting, and I am aiming for A+'s this semester because I am still waiting for entry into my school of choice, something I am reasonably worried about. I have even taken a peer tutoring job to help me with my resume and my future.

Through it all though, I still miss home; the late nights, the food, the little lady waiting at home for me even now. It's all far away, but yet so close to my heart. Funny, how the world is.

Ah, life. Sometimes you provide the strangest twists.

A new home.

I'm back in the States, as those of you who care should know... and I am in a new house!

Myself and 4 other Malaysians are all in one little home and we have certainly made it cozy! At first everything was dusty and desolate... but after moving in some furniture, after buying (a large number) some decor and lighting, it looks like a wonderful place.

My room is being made into my dream room... ah, the miracles of taste and money. I plan to grab a job this semester, truly I am. That and maybe some plasma donation for extra cash... it'll be great to know that everything has paid itself!

Pictures will come along soon I guess, very soon. I've taken hundreds so far. Can't wait for my room to be finished.
