习。惯。

我知道，以后的日子一定很艰苦。

我知晓，再委屈也得咬紧牙关撑下去。

I suppose I've completed all the necessary procedures. I suppose this will be my final decision for the next four years of my life. I've accepted the offer from Monash University in Australia to pursue Bachelor of Pharmacy. I will be leaving in the month of February. It's just weeks away.

I remember, when I was little, all I ever wanted was to study aboard, in a foreign country. Well, you know, when you watch all those American dramas where they make life in Western countries look so interesting and filled with adventure, it makes you feel like living their life! Haha!

I don't know if Pharmacy is what I want, but I know that it will give me a brighter future compared to Biotech/Biochem (my initial goal). And yes, I will take my chance and give it a shot! As the saying goes "Belum try, belum tau; sekali try, kali-kali mau" xD Who can imagine, I might end up with a masters degree in Pharmacy! :P *dreaming!*

Life in Australia is going to be so so hard. Compared to some other students, I am lucky because I have my uncle there. But then again, that might be one of the biggest problem which I'll be facing. I remember this sentence from one of the movies "Sometimes, you just have to suck it all up and keep going"

Next part of life, in a new environment, meeting new people and sharing a totally different culture. I hope I can pull all the bits and pieces together. I'm so excited about what University life has in store for me but at the same time, I am afraid of what I have to go through. Everything will be done - alone. I have to prove to many people that I'm independent enough to take care of myself and to survive this "roller coaster ride". I may not get used to it at the beginning but I'm sure I'll get there someday :)

And so, my new year resolutions! Although they're quite late.

1. Brush up on home skills

2. Learn to be more independent

3. Study harder - get awesome results - and make my parents proud

4. Learn to control my temper. More smiles and to be more patient.

5. Less complains and have more fun.

6. Try to get my own income to at least cover my daily needs.

7. Make full use of my time

8. To lead a healthier lifestyle.

9. To love and appreciate my family more.

10. To love and appreciate my life. Be thankful that I have this chance of a lifetime.

11. Try my best to keep in touch with all my friends. I don't want to lose any of them :')

Counting down: exactly 30 days more.
