24NOV2008 - visa grant letter

24OCT2008 I have my health exam at Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, today - one month later than the date accomplished my body check - the visa grant letter coming to my email box. its arrival make my day - there is only the GOD aware of my feeling of it's arrival - the exciting even exceed my orgasm. Noted that the whole application spends years from the very beginning of 2005, I have taken 3 times IELTS test from 2005-2006 to gain that limited scores required of an independent migration. Australia - I am coming. yeah! The essay below was written for myself and all my friends (David, are you here?)
Each stage of our lives brings different challenges which tought us to Live, Love and Learn. (my 3L principle) - it's interesting...
1. the things you regret most are the things you didn’t do, not the things you did, be bold. Have the baby, get your boobs enhanced, sleep with your boss, move in with the postman — whatever. Don’t spend an old age moaning, “If only I had”. The less you play safe, the richer your life — and for all you know, the postman will win the pools anyway. There’s never any knowing what’s going to happen next.
2.If you are going to marry, do it for love, not money. Don’t move in with someone just to share the rent and the bills or, like as not, you’ll end up hurt, alone, without a roof and pregnant, while he runs off with the computer. Nobody’s rational, let alone you. And always remember, babies need fathers. If you don’t provide one, the babies grow up to complain. Children complain anyway, but give them as little cause as you can.
3.Try not to marry someone from work. They’ll be too like you, and one of you will get promotion and one of you won’t. Then there’ll be trouble. Conventional wisdom suggests you should marry someone as like yourself as possible, but if you do, you’ll only get bored and want a change. Nature suggests you go for your opposite, seeking, as it does, the optimum shuffling of the genes. Let nature have its way: the babies are better.
4.Everybody suffers. We all feel unacceptable, although we disguise that fear in different ways: using anger or bullying, with drinking too much or eating too little, by buying handbags we can’t afford or — a peculiarly modern speciality — by pretending that we don’t need other people, that we are emotionally bulletproof.
5.Took responsibility for your own feelings — I stopped pushing them away or dumping them on other people. My feelings belong to me, and it’s up to me to deal with them with as much grace and intelligence as I can muster. Other people may have an opinion about me, and they are entitled to that. If I examine my own behaviour honestly, and it is lacking, I can apologise. If I can’t see my part, it probably has nothing to do with me. Above all, I have come to understand that I cannot change other people. The only person over whom I have any control is me. I try to accept people as they are: part good, part bad. Just like me, in fact.
6.What’s the fastest way to unhappiness? the answer is, comparing ourselves to others.
7.You just relax. And you understand that all those missions were just a way of finding out who you are — and that what makes you happy is not worrying about that and treating life as the great responsibility-free act of self-indulgence it can, at its most glorious, be. You have your career by now, or at least you’ve tried; you’ve found somewhere to live; you may even have had your heart broken — and learnt from all the pain that brings. There’s only one thing that stops it being the best decade ever . . tick, tock, tick, tock.
