Embarking

Just about to leave Kuching for Johor Bahru, I received the good news of being offered a JPA scholarship. The course that was offered is Sastera Ikhtisas. Most of you must have been confused by the word “Sastera” that makes it sound like literature when it’s been directly translated. Well, in this context, the whole course is something like business. My sister is doing it, so I’m pretty sure it’d be something fun and interesting. Good news never stops flowing in. My third sister just got married last week. I’m happy that she’s finally settling down. Another sister of mine just got married in January, which means there were 2 weddings this year. It is too bad for my sixth sister who’s currently doing her studies in Canada that can’t make it for both the weddings.

There wasn’t much to say about the whole trip, there were tons of shopping malls in Johor Bahru as it is near to the coast of Singapore with just a distance of a bridge. My lovely third sister took good care of us from the matters of accommodation, food and entertainment. Don’t know when will be my next chance to treat her in such a way. After spending 6 days in Johor Bahru, I went to visit my second sister who’s settling in Malacca. Nice food and not to forget the cendol that I’ve tried in Jonker Street. There was nothing much in Malacca though, quite a boring town. I’ve been blessed with so many different things. Not as in just the JPA scholarship, but also having a lot of great sisters that really care for me. I must say that I have definitely being pampered by them.

Alright, to Tonyong, sorry that I can’t make it for the farewell party and couldn’t give you anything when u left for Australia. The only thing I can do is keep praying for you and hope that you will study hard in Brisbane with you brother there. Let me know what you’re gonna send over to us eh. Not just a postcard?? Sure hope not. Have fun and study hard ya. My first semester of school would most probably starts on the end of June or the early July. Pray that everything would be fine and well-prepared.
PS: Pictures will be uploaded shortly. Please be patient as I don’t have the patience to wait for the pictures to be uploaded. =)
