I have been meaning to write this entry in a while because I had some emotional thoughts on Australia Day. I know to some people being an Australian citizen is really "nothing much to think about" but for me, for some reason this year I began to really appreciate this country. I have now been an Australian Citizen for almost 7 years now...the previous 16 years we had lived in the country but still kept our Malaysian citizenship in hopes that one day Malaysia will become a 'better' place to live again. It is still far from that, my parents still hear about the racial discrimination, the class system and the religious dominance over minority groups...e.g. chinese and indians. It was the reason why they took us out in the first place. I have to say I do not regret it and don't want to go back to stay, sometimes my father and mother do...only because they left their friends, family and memories behind to start fresh. I recognise the sacrifice they have made for me and my brothers to come to a new country without knowing anyone and settle down.

Don't get me wrong, I don't dislike Malaysia...I like Malaysia for its delicacies, the people's humour which gets them through each day, and the hard work and enterprising ethic of the chinese. In a way, I am proud to have been born a Malaysian Chinese...because I know it is in our blood to struggle but survive. I couldn't love Australia enough for bringing Fernando and I together...otherwise we would never have had Sofia, our gorgeous mixed baby girl. I hear of Fernando's family's story and how they arrived here...and we both pretty much came here for a better life to escape war and fear. I can see how our generation and our next generation will not have to suffer the hardship and can live out their dreams in Australia.

I'm really so happy and privileged to be an Australian citizen...even though the rest of the world says we are racist and lazy...I don't believe that is true. It is the mixture of cultures that fall in love and live out harmoniously together that makes a strong generation which in turn can build a better country with the freedom of reaching their goals!
