“When I came to Adelaide I realised I’d made an excellent choice. It’s a smaller city compared to Kuala Lumpur, but it has a vibrant atmosphere where there is always something happening. The shopping is great – they have all the major chain stores as well as a lot of obscure little shops where you can find some really great stuff. As for entertainment, there is so much on offer – from opera, theatre and dance at the Festival Centre, to world-class pop at the Entertainment Centre. I honestly could not have asked for more.

My course is very demanding but I’ve been able to access help when I need it and I’ve found that I’m able to cope as well as anyone.

My advice is to get out of your comfort zone. Be accepting of other cultures and your environment but don’t lose sight of where you come from. There’s more to life than just knowing what you’ve always known.”
