I'm hoping that in Malaysia Week, I'll be able to meet new people, make new friends (from ALL grades) and get to know the people I already know better. I think that since I don't have or know a lot of friends here, it'll be a good chance to make some! After this, I'm hoping I'll be more of a risk-taker, because right now, I don't like taking a lot of chances. I'm scared of a lot of things! My 10 year old younger brother is the complete opposite though, and that's what bugs me! So I'm going to try and take risks, lose some fears and maybe I'll be as much as a risk-taker as my brother, not sure if that will happen but I can be close!
The third thing I'm hoping to gain from this experience, is learning how to survive without my parents for a while. I miss my parents a lot when they travel, and I call them all the time and I feel pretty bad if I don't. When I used to live in Washington D.C, growing up from 1 to 8 years old. My dad traveled a lot to Southeast Asia, at that time he was a senior economist at the World Bank. It's because of all the travel that I grew attached to him, and hated each time he had to go to travel. I know that I still had my mom, but I still missed him. It's not as bad now that we're living in Southeast Asia, but at one point in November 2009 both my mom and dad had to go to my grandfather's funeral. It was disaster!! My siblings always fought, and I had to break up the fights, make sure that they slept on time. I managed because we had a maid to clean and cook but it was still horrible. We're closer together now though, but that doesn't stop the fights that happens between us. My mom is going to university to get a degree in Public Health, so I barely see her. My dad works also and I'm OK. I hope that in Malaysia Week I'll be able to work on that!
That's pretty much all I'm hoping to gain from Malaysia Week. Thanks!
Now for the pictures....
