the 'Newbie'

Here, my home, with my family is my reality world. Perth is like an isolated world to me. I work in the morning, come home, cook and rest. Pay the bills, meet up with friends regularly, planning for next trips, searching for good restaurant, speaking my second language - English. People might say, it sounds the same as all the others' reality world. No, they are wrong. My society circles here is much larger. I have to take time out to socialise with relatives. I have to attend wedding and funerals. I have to answer others' questions frequently and often ask help from others instead of just google. I start to make plans, or place myself into the plans for my whole family. All these was ignored when I was at Perth, as it just felt like it was far away from me. But now I am the newbie that gonna blend in into this society that is once familar to me. I am out of my comfort zone. I am scared, anxious and under stress. While standing in front of all these unknowns, I nearly lose my courages and to run away. Just run back to Perth, or just simply marry a guy and be the house wife. Yet, there is no way to run, I have to walk through the fog with all the confident i could have and find my way.
