I'm Sorry
There is something that I had regretted long time ago of what I did during my years of high school. Yes, the worst thing I had ever done. It is to broke a girl's heart deep from bottom. I am so sorry. I had indescribable struggle between the inner me back then. I had made a bad choice, and I had forever regretted since then. I cannot see, but I can feel deep bottom it was real pain. I am so so sorry. I can't stop thinking of it, it has been hunting me when I am asleep, and I know. I know that it wouldn't do any good or change anything even I said a hundred, a thousand, a million or even a billion of sorry. sorry. and thank you for loving me back then. I am so sorry. Wish I could repay you.

Chapter 4
Let's just skip the airport story and go straight to my new life in Australia, yea?
'Welcome to Australia!' I said to myself. Without a minute of waiting my friends while they are going through the Australian Custom, I have no patient of seeing the Australia and I walked towards the exit.
Full of curiosity, and the first person greeted me was my driver and I mistakenly thought he was looking for Flinders Uni student because of his Australian accent. Well, he is the first person I actually interact with, so I really need some time to digest their accent. Luckily I double confirm with him, if not I will be wondering around the airport looking for my driver. : ] cheers

Chapter Three
It has been so long since I flew to Australia, the last time I flew to this island was the time when my eldest brother's bachelor of engineering graduation. It was in Adelaide, it was a quiet town with a famous University of Adelaide lying here. Well, that was a was and now it has changed so much after years of development. And now no longer a town, it is a city furthermore they are replacing the buses with trams, well not yet but they are building the tracks.
As I recall, Australia is famous for their strict policy on what is going 'in' and going 'out' of Australia. Especially going 'in', whatever you are bring in are perishable it is better off you drop it or wasting your time lining up for the custom to check. Seriously! And even packages you mail into their country, the boxes you use must be brand new or previous usage of it must not carry nuts or any perishable goods. Very strict, huh? Well, their reason for doing so is because they wanted to protect their wildlife as well as their agriculture industry from being damaged by unknown diseases carried by travelers. hmmm.. you might be thinking 'whats the big deal about it?'. Imagine you are in a confined room with a person carrying a cold and flu; and now illustrate a confined island just like Australia with similar case. Think about it!
I still got few more hours before arriving to Melbourne and I am already crossing the famous Australia desert. Talking about desert, I like the outskirt or countryside, if I have the luxury I really will get a four wheel drive and go travel the whole Australia. It is called Altas is it? Can't Remember correctly. Oh yeah, some of you may not know I really love four wheel drive vehicles. One reason for being so is they are tall, big and huge, and whatever I just mentioned they all meant the same. I love them, I even own one of them well not the best but I like it.

Chapter Two
The only person I am able to talk to was the passenger beside me, Malaysian too. Furthering his studies in RMIT in architect from third year. The first reaction coming from me was, "woow, does RMIT offer that course?" That surprise me was because I didn't know RMIT do offer architect courses and to make it more interesting that guy was transferring from Metropolitan College. Well, Australian university do offer lots of different kind of courses, from performing arts to short courses in writing love letters.
Becoming an Architect used to be my dreams when I was twelve years old, when I won the third placing in building modeling during secondary schooling. If I remember correctly, the reason I didn't able to get first place was I didn't get the theme right. I have many dreams in what kind of profession I wanted to be when I grow up, lawyers, architect, and businessman. But it all settles down to being an accountant and businessman. What it really matters is you enjoy what you do and build a financial freedom lifestyle from it.
One thing I really like about my parents is in their view of education, they alway tries to provide the best of it for their children. No matter how difficult it is, they will do their very best to find the best school, best tuition, best institution, and best university. If the tuition fees are way beyond the level of affordable, my dad will work harder for it. He even sacrificed his retirement fund in hope a better future for his children. He once said, "When I am young I don't have the luxury of furthering my studies to oversea or even reaching college level. But I hope my sons will do it on my behalf". Dad, I love you very much.
My parents never question their children's decision on the education they chose. That's the reason why between the three brothers, we have different kind of interest. Eldest brother studied engineering, second brother currently studying dentistry and I am in the commerce field. Interesting isn't it?

Chapter One
Hello, my name is Caleb born in Malaysia and currently furthering my studies in Australia. This is where my new chapter of life begins - Australia, Melbourne. A place where the life of many changed, no matter you are here to study, travel, visiting or for business; it does effects some part of your life. I had left many important things in Malaysia and came to this big island, from family, friends, comfort, and business. In hope of gaining something I had yet to experience, yes, that is love, hardship, and new culture.
The day I left on the plane to Melbourne, I am full of anticipation I am unable to sleep in the plane, unable to concentrate on the movies I play from the mini screen, and unable to think how to start a conversation with the girl I fall for. Without anything in my mind, I just went pass her seat and have a look on how is she doing and then when back to the seat. She saw me, ops! That aren't suppose to happen. Wanted to have a chat with close friend of mine, Aaron but got chased by stewardess because the safety belt was on. That seriously ruined my efforts of going pass all the passenger in the aisle. Tough Luck!
