Holidays Are Coming!

Well its that time of year when deadlines are due meaning the Christmas holiday isn't far off. I'm insanely excited to be flying home in a couple weeks. The best part of going home is arriving at the airport to see your family all waiting for you. Even if my parents were both here, its great to burst through the door with all your family waiting for you. And not only that, it's when you get to meet up with your friends from home (a lot of mine are either in America or in their home countries).
It's really great because my friends are have different nationalities. So the holidays have a different meaning to everyone. At my old school; Mont Kiara International School, we would celebrate not only Christmas but Chinese New Year, Hari Raya and Deepavali which was great to learn which holidays mean so much to other people.
Everyone deserves to be with their family during Christmas, unfortunately I won't be seeing my mum but with divorced parents you have to take it in turns. On the plus side, I'll be receiving more presents :)

Home Sweet Home

The other day I went to my friend's house and this house was the one that she's grown up in and lived in her whole life. I left my first house just before I was eight, and luckily I can still visit it because we've kept it but now I can't imagine living in the same house for more than a couple years.
Yet every house that I've lived in holds memories, some better than others! Right now I live in an apartment which is on the 32nd floor and I absolutely love it. Mont Kiara is a high-rise community with the few houses that can fit in. But moving from my mum's old house to a brand new apartment was a turning point for me. It felt as though I was finally growing up and about to experience some exciting.
I think its important that no matter what house/apartment you live in, it's home for you and you know it.

Family

Everyone has arguements with their parents, but since mine are on the other side of the world it does help to realize how much you can miss your embrassing dad and mad mum. Believe me I still have arguements but it doesn't seem to matter who wins. At the end of the day if your parents are a mile away or a thousand their still the ones who raised you. But I'm curious to know what were the biggest arguements you've had with your mum or dad and if you thought it was important that you won.

Background

Right to begin with, I am half English, half Malay incase your a bit confused. I've moved from Malaysia back to England for university. Although I consider Malaysia to be my home, I live in a community called Mont Kiara. Its recently developed and encompasses modern living with the rich culture of Kuala Lumpur. I'm not wanting to advertise Malaysia as a holiday destination, I'm wanting to share my stories from a place which I've learnt so much from and grown up in to become the person I am now.
