Two weeks ago, I was heading off to the  TSF Salsa Foundation,  when I was waiting at intersection for the traffic lights, it suddenly started raining, I was gonna blame myself for not taking an umbrella. At that moment, I felt something above the top of my head, I turned around, and it’s an Asian girl who was trying to help me out from getting wet. I was deeply moved, how beautiful her heart was!!!

What a flashback as it immediately brought my attention to something happened to me which was always on my mind. It was early in the morning, after I got off the train station; it’s raining cats and dogs, which was very unusual. I was glad as I took a really big red umbrella with me. While I was walking on the track, a young handsome Aussie guy caught my eyes; he was walking beside me with no umbrella. I was thinking about sharing the umbrella with him, but then I told myself: “Oh, no, don’t wanna bother, at least he didn’t ask.” I looked at him starting running in the stormy rain, which made me feel very uncomfortable. How mean I was? The longer I stay in Australia, the colder I am becoming. This was not the original me the first time when I arrived Australia, everyone told me that I was kind of nice, kind, friendly, helpful and happy person.

 It was until I met the lovely Asian girl I realized how important it was if we put a little bit effort gave care for the people who really need help, and the world will be different.

That’s how I felt like in the heaven the uni life though my material thing was the worst during that period. I was like deaf and dumb the first time in Australia, I had never left my family the whole life in China, even I didn’t do much housework. Now I had to face the reality by dealing with everything on my own. I had no idea where’s the shopping centre I could get cooking pans, bowls and all kind of groceries stuff. I really didn’t need worry too much; some happy accidents were waiting for me.

 One lovely Indian girl and a cute Indian boy who took me to the supermarket, I added everything in the trolley without taking consideration how I could carry them home. My god, it was so full, I have just found out that I had to return half of them back. Two Indian friends came towards me: “No worries, Emma, we’ve got a taxi for you.” To be honest, I didn’t understand what they were telling me until I got on the taxi and eventually arrived Chisholm College where I stayed. I insisted on giving them the money for taxi, but they were kindly refused me. “That’s all right, Emma, don’t worry about it.” Every time, I recall the smiling face of them, I feel so warm and happy.

 I remembered one very nice Malaysian girl used to cook ABC soup, Bamboo summer soup early in the morning, waiting us wake up by offering her free soup and cakes she made freshly.

 If I didn’t work with some very kind Aussie cleaner ladies, I would never have clue that someone with the lowest social status actually could be the best people in the world, who are much better than some kind of rich people only cares about money by treating others like shit. Every morning, at morning tea break, one lovely lady used to bring her different kinds of fruits and told me with her soft voice: “Daring, How are you today? Please help yourself as much as you can.” It’s not about those fruits; she just showed her care and kindness to someone useless like me who has just arrived in this new country.

 Some other cleaner ladies used to drive me around on the way to the supermarket, café shops, invited me having free BBQ. By the end of the day, one lady kindly passed me one friendship kit which was handmade by her in order to remind me friendship lasts forever. How wonderful these people!!!

 I feel my heart is racing while I am writing these happy moments, there are far too many things for appreciation, I have to cut down all of them for  next time, please don’t be afraid go to a new country, it is always better than what you imagined.

 I truly think it’s unfair as I noticed some people especially in the big cities of China treat newcomers who are pursuing a dream original from rural areas, small town, and countryside not very nice. Actually, some of them are the most ambitious, active, energetic, and brave dream-takers.  Let’s give them a hand as much as we can, just let the world getting better.
