I could not sleep...in just another 12 hours, I will be sitting on the plane ready to take off. Yes, today is the day that I am flying off to Melbourne to fulfill my 2-year permanent residency requirement. As some of you are already aware, I will be doing the 2-year thingy alone, whereas Hubby and my dad will not be joining me so soon. Not that bad considering I have my sister and her family there to take care of me.
I could not sleep because I feel a terrible pain in my heart. The pain of knowing that I will not be able to see my two beloved boys for quite some time. I know Pea will be really depress for the next few days as he is extremely attached to me. Just couldn't stop the tears from streaming down my face whenever I think of bidding them goodbye when I leave the house to the airport. I know I will miss them terribly.
Pea and Pumpkin, once Jie Jie find a job and get a house, Jie Jie and Gor Gor will bring you to Ozzieland to be an Ozzie Dog yeah??? Jie Jie promise!
And of course, my Hubby too. Although he is accompanying me to Melbourne for a week, I know the following week will be tough for me. Gosh...am sure going to create an emotional scene at the airport when I send him off.
Anyway, I would like to thank all my dear friends who gave me many kind wishes, encouragement and support as well as themany many wonderful farewell lunches and dinners. Do keep in touch and I know we will.
Tears aside, I am very excited too cos living in Melbourne is something that I always wish for. For sure, I will update on my new life and of course....yummy discoveries too! I won't have any internet access for the next 3 days cos we will be heading to Tasmania for a short family holiday so do pop by soon yah???
BYE BYE for now!!! *wiping away my tears*

All the very best to you in your new ventures in the new land. Reading your post made me sad as I could feel your loneliness. Will miss you dear. Like you, I'm going to miss hearing stories of your two boys too. Take care and have a wonderful time in Tasmania.
PEEEEAAAAAAA :( Siggghhh...I'm sorry we haven't had time to catch up. It's been soooooo hectic. In any case, we promise we'll come visit you once everything is settled. You take care of yourself and hubby and God Bless and here's to a happy, harmonious, peaceful, healthy (after all, what is life without health) life in the Land Down Under. Come back and visit too! :-) Hugggsssssssss and God Bless!
Oh and in Tassie, go over the weekend (I hope you are) and visit Salamanca Market, the Mountain in Hobart (Can't remember its name), and the seafood restaurants in Hobart, and the Oyster farm (where you can eat fresh and prepared oysters but also see how they're grown, and the tea houses just outside Hobart)
I know what u mean about missing your cuties - be strong ya! Once u hv net access, u can see them thru webcam - not much of consolation, but at least it's something. Take care and looking fwd to yr updates from Down Under.
Safe journey... Never like goodbyes, so I'll say "Catch you online one of these days soon!"
Safe journey and take good care of yourself~~

It was not long ago when I read about your medical check up for the PR application. So fast, the day has come.
Take care. You'll adapt to the new environment soon.
If you have time and havent join yet, you should join GMN forum, www.globalmalaysia.com/forum. A good place to share thoughts and experience. A lot of helpful Malaysian there too.
I'm mallanhead from the forum.

Hopefully you will soon be together!
Take care. Will surely call you up if I ever go to Melbourne.
Oh, you are moving? Gosh, I am facing similar situation as you now. I am planning to stay put in US for a while while hubs completes his job assignment in S'pore (who knows when). For once, I wish his pjt comes to an end quickly.nTake care.
And you know what, I love Tasmania. So beautiful, more off-beat compared to major cities, and fresh seafood!yum!
