There would be a little problems if you stay with ONE of your friend. But, can you imagine how's the life would be to stay with SEVEN friends which came from different family background? Which their standard of living are way much different than yours?
It's actually a great great knowledge and experience to gain and throughout the day, you could learn a lot either their family's lifestyle, their own way of doing things, and etc. I've learnt some lessons and interesting ways of doing things. Among these:-
- Never bath longer than 15minutes, as it's not nice to keep others waiting
- make sure you set a good example to start doing the house chores, so others would not have the chance to pin point you
- separate your food and daily product if possible with your name on it, so it won run out so easily T_T
- inform your housemate either writing on the whiteboard, or call them if you are not coming home for dinner. This is to prevent them from doing so much and for you to waste the food.
- always bear in mind that you are not staying with your family members, make sure you don't expect others would understand what is on your mind. Voice out if you face any problem
- You are staying away from home ALONE, never expect you would have accompanion throughout the year. It's inevitable that you could be alone at times. But, it's not a depressing thing. You just need time to get used to it.
- The weather is cold, you should wear more layers of clothes instead of switching on the heater all day. You do not wish to spend all your money by paying the bills and debts.
- Try not to eat or cook alone, you do not wish to know how much dearly for that compared to sharing.
- Learn how to forgive and forget, this is the toughest one to achieve, but it's the great thing to learn.
- Try to concern about others feeling instead of being selfish. Remember that everyone is away from their own country.
- Try to smile and keep away your frowning face. You do not wish others to on their "anti-walls" just to prevent from getting scold. Unless, you share. There would always be someone who willing to listen and give you advice.
These are something interesting which I have found out during the stay. But no offence, it's just my own way of thinking. It doesnt mean I have any hard feeling on anyone nor hattress to anybody.
Honestly speaking, I feel blessed and happy to have this golden chance to experience my life here with all of my beloved housemates. throughout the stay, we faced a lot of difficulties and problems, unhappiness and misunderstandings. but it is not a big deal. the most important part is that we have learnt from the lesson and trying to be better in the future. you can tell from the way they act, and from their faces. they are giving their best to be better and make sure they do not hurt anyone's feeling accidentally. This is really something to appreciate.
And GUYS!!! I love you heaps!! HUgz!! may our friendship long lasting!!
