1) I graduated from UW. Finally, after the long struggle for my degree, I made it. I know I whine about it a lot and I know I shouldn't. Tapi selamat la lulus.. hehe. Alhamdulillah. My entire family was here during my graduation day and it was the best day. Though it was raining really bet and I was soaking wet during the ceremony but it was quite an experience.
2) I was offered a job at my dream company, Microsoft as the software engineer. Again, Alhamdulillah.. Things were going smooth for me. I am lucky to not have to go through the pain of being unemployed. < How my office looks like in Microsoft? Pictures to come>
3) Terrible things happened during my last spring quarter in UW. I think only my friends here at UW knew about it and of course my family. But lesson is to be learned. - Be careful of whom you're being friend with, don't trust your friends easily and let them fool you. I agree with this as I suffered almost for a year to learn this lesson.
3) I didn't get my H1B visa so I didn't get to stay in the US to work. So guess what, I am now living in Vancouver, british Columbia, Canada! Which is like 2 hours away from Seattle and I still get to work for Microsoft remotely. It's a great thing. I rebuilt a new life, challenging myself towards new experience and met new friends.
4) I am in a relationship with a dearly friend, Faris. I knew his existance from high school, specifically met and talk to him in INTEC and became friends in UW. Earned his degree and currently working in Seattle :) Yep, friends to something else + a long distance relationship don't usually happen but we're going strong and I love him! Enuf said.
5) I met great friends in Vancouver. So the very cool thing was when I thought I'm going to be all alone and starting a new life, get to know the people God knows what to expect, I met a wonderful new friend whom I knew the first time that I can totally clicked in with her. Kak Erny laa.. sapa lagi. hehe. yep, so she's the person who has been listening to me whining and helping me out through my stay in VanCity.
6) I went to couple places and explored few different places. I'm currently living in downtown Vancouver. Best place ever.. and I love it. There's so much to see and do here in BC and I never regret that I've been deported here. It's a great place for doing my outdoorsy things and you know how I appreciate that right?
7) Celebrated Hari Raya for the first time in Canada and it was awesome. I met new friends (student from UBC) during that time and yes we became friends. Lotsa food and stuff but I always miss the hari Raya in Malaysia. oh and after 5 years, I will finally be able to celebrate my Hari Raya in Malaysia this year. How awesome is that huh?? Jangan jealous :P
