Australia VS Malaysia

Life in Australia is pretty laid-back, free, fun, chilling, and cool. We have four seasons. Summer = extremely WARM. Autumn - Chilly and hot, but cold. Winter - Totally cold and annoying and windy and rainy. Spring - Chilly and warm at the same time - My favorite.

People in Australia are rather friendly. We meet people along the way so easily and everyone gets along well with one another. How great is that?!

Studying in Australia is difficult. Assignments are neverending. English requirements are pretty high. The requirements the lecturers expect of you are pretty high. The workload is so much higher. And the stress you get is neverending!!!

Working in Australia requires a lot of challenges. You'd have to think out of the box. You'd have to be hardworking. You'd have to work very hard to get to the top. You'd have to compete compete compete. There's no such thing as rest when it comes to working. There's just so much to do!!!

Now it comes to the Malaysia part.

Life in Malaysia is rush rush rush and OT OT OT. OT is overtime for your information. That's the life we get in Malaysia. We're always having late nights in offices. We're always having late dinners. We're always late. We say we'd arrive at 8am. But we arrive at 9am instead. We categorize it as Malaysian so-called timing. Yep, we're late boomers.

The weather is always warm warm warm. The humidity is higher than Australia's and that's why we sweat more often. We're always driving cars cause we can never rely on public transports. We're always going out for late session in mamak stalls to chat with friends. We're always going out all the time. Food and friends remain our top priorities outside of work and study.

Studying in Malaysia is normal. The assignments are huge but it's so much easier than Australia's. The English requirement is just normal. The workloads are enormous but it's so much easier to complete it and the lecturers always have mercy on you. It's just simply easy peezy!!!

Working in Malaysia is alright. As long as you get along well with your bosses and colleagues, everything's fine. But ... there would always be office politics. BACKSTABBERS!!! And you're always having overtime work in the office. Some stay till 11pm or past midnight. They're always busy busy busy. They're always moving around.

And I'll remind you one thing, you can never find a decent parking place in Malaysia because it's always full!!!

Malaysia sells illegal stuffs. Australia doesn't. Malaysia has all the cheap food and clothes. Australia doesn't. Malaysia has all the 24 hours stores to eat at. Australia has only in some certain parts of the country, not all.

Malaysia or Australia?

I'll always be Malaysian. I'll always breathe a Malaysian and live a Malaysian.

Australia's good as well. It keeps me stronger and stronger and challenging myself into new levels in life. I'll probably go back to Malaysia in a few years time after gaining some experience in the workforce in Australia. It is a good place after all.

We'll see how things goes. After all, I don't plan my life. God does and I go as it goes.

Malaysia has its own weaknesses and so does Australia.

I still love Malaysia though. And I do enjoy the Australian life. Nevertheless, once a Malaysian always a Malaysian. It never dies.

Take your pick, Australia or Malaysia?!
