		<description>Sorry for the late reply, but thanks. :) yeah I know I&#039;d be busy the first few days or even the first few weeks, but inevitably.. I&#039;d have to deal with this new environment with possibly no one to turn to. ==&gt;__&gt;== But yeah thank god for the internet though.

You know how I am socially so hopefully I&#039;d be able to put myself in a nice clique to hang out with. ==&lt;__&gt;== I really don&#039;t fancy it having lived in like an average of 33 C all my life.</description>

		<description>Baby you&#039;re gonna do great, I know it. You&#039;re gonna be so busy setting everything up the first few days you won&#039;t even have time to think about being homesick. Plus you still can chat with people online, so it&#039;s not like you&#039;ll never hear from your buddies ever again.  

This is sorta different than backpacking through Laos because it&#039;s more permanent and you won&#039;t be moving around as much. You&#039;re gonna meet tons of cool new people and you&#039;ll wind up falling into a whole new routine of things that aren&#039;t life-changing. Your Melbournian Okami, if you will. =p

And I won&#039;t lie - every time I hear you worry about the weather I think of the fact that our winters average below 5 C  and I can&#039;t help but crack a smile.  ^__^</description>

		<description>i know sibs. :( at this point i can&#039;t really tell how i&#039;d feel, but hopefully the excitement of discovering something new everyday would keep my homesickness at bay lol.

but yeah you&#039;re right, i&#039;m gonna tough it out and overcome this little.. thing that many people in my shoes seem to go through as well. :P

haha seriously? and here i am hoping i&#039;d get used to exceedingly cold weather like 5 degrees real soon lol.</description>

		<description>im not going to sugar coat it, clem. if you love malaysia so much then unfortunately, yes, you&#039;re going to be homesick to the point of er.. sick. you will have enough to keep you busy during the day, but the nights are going to be quite unpleasant. 

you just gotta tough it out, dont let it ruin your experience so much that you fail to enjoy it. in a couple weeks when you&#039;ve made some new friends and find your way around, things will get better.

and no, no one ever gets used to living in 5 degrees haha not really :P</description>
