mayboo .- i'm trying to find the laundry room.
that's HIGHLY impossible.
sorry man, but you definitely will. and the more you don't want to spend, the more yuo'll spend.
it happens. =)
just talk to your parents about it.
cos ultimately even if you get the money..
you still need their permission to go home.

no, but okay, think of this. who's gonna fetch you back home? do you really want to spend the holidays with your parents upset? and they pay for your education here, they can easily go okay, since yuo like malaysia, don't go back. no matter what, they're your parents.
and they still have the right to pretty much do anything.
even locking you out. =)
at least if you talk to them, then they'll also know of your desire to go back for the holidays,
and you all might be able to compromise and accomodate
unless you're swimming in money, there's no possible way for you to just be irrational about it.
not that i'm trying to sound naggy.
but it's easier to just ask your parents about it.
it's what happens when you study overseas. and even if you go back, they might not have the time for you.
so yah, you have to think about it also. it's not their fault.
they have their own lives to lead.
just cos you interrupt yours to return to msia, doesn't mean they'll want to stop their lives for awhile.
you know?
not stopthinking, but just don't expect so much from people, especially when you know your expectations won't be met.
it's not that they're selfish, it's just that after they kept a routine after you left. and you can't expect them to stop that routine for the 2 weeks that you're back.=_
okay, you can be selfish, and think only about yourself. and go back in september, because your friends in malaysia are having fun without you and you don't wanna miss out and because alex is going back.
right?
yah.
i guess, when you come over, you have to make sacrifices
and who knows, maybe they're envious that you're living here on your own.
it's a catch 22. no situation will be perfect.
not really la, i sometimes wanna go home too. not so much anymore, but when i first came back after the holidays, it was like that for me too. i just lived with it.
5 months isn't very long
already we've been back nearly 1 month.
maybe more.
very fast.
you're probably experiencing much more than they will experience in the next 5 years.
and you're learning to be independent
and to take care of yourself.
and to spend your money wisely.
and you're probably maturing alot faster that they are because you must.
and that's something that you have that they don't.
so always remember that la, that maybe staying in malaysia isn't all FUN and everything. plus, you've got us here what.
we're your friends too. =)
thanks mayboo...
but, i still want to go home.
