Life in the United States

I like to leave my blog dormant, or so I realized. It's been a while. Life in the United States has been really busy. So busy until a certain point that I thought of packing up everything and leaving this place. Pathetic huh? I mean, being under a scholarship, with unlimited opportunities in this new piece of land, who will think of doing that? Me.

Took four courses this semester. Statics, Dynamics, Thermodynamics, Differential Equations. Sort of too heavy for me. The workload is killing me. It's no longer like college. And I was forced to accept that I am in one of the top 10 engineering schools in the world. There was a certain point in my life here, that I thought of letting go of everything and change my major, or even just drop everything and go back to Malaysia. Feel like my passion in photography has overtaken my passion in Mechanical. But God has been faithful. I felt motivated through the people and the environment here. Top engineering school's life. Pathetic, yes. But I guess the result will be rewarding.

Throughout my life here in Ann Arbor, I think the most blessed part is the people here. I got to know a guy from Sibu. His name is Jacky. And he is a really great brother, both in real life and in Christ. Driving us everywhere for the past two months, caring about us, helping us in as many ways as he can; I just couldn't thank him enough. Imagine driving out at 2 a.m. just to fetch my friend and I back home. Normal people don't do that. It takes great friendship and love of God to do so. For that I give thanks.

Church life has been great. Church community is exceptionally friendly. Got to know a lot of friends. Even though there is a certain period of depression because of failing grades(trust me it's really bad), God has been my healer and my motivator. He never fails. Awesome huh? Weather is changing. Winter is coming soon. Looking forward to the first snow. Not really sure when is the next time I will write on my blog again. But for any updates, just go to my facebook profile. I am super active there. Hahaha..signing off.
