okay its been awhile but im back!

Yes im officially back! Ive got my iphone, mobile broadband and sch connection so Im quite connected to the world :DSchool has been good, Ive managed to adapt to the environment for now, made new friends, still quite shy about people who are not in my class but alls still well. Had fun during the workshop periods, made my own old school tool box (drill, sander, nails and screws and all) and made my own apron! Yes wearable!Been cooking as well and somehow Ive become alot more disciplined here than in spore. marketing weekly and stuff.School work is picking up but im really trying to stay focused.Still miss people in Spore but Im actually adapting quite well. At least now australia doesnt seem like a foreign country to me. I dont feel a stranger to the place and Im quite happy to communicate with people. Somehow, australia is friendlier and more expressive than S'pore..or maybe im just generalizing....
new housemate is finally in and she's malaysian hahha which is a sense of familiarity for me. In fact only last week, i finally found someone i know in Spore, studying in UNSW! one of my sp students!I was surprisingly happy about it and only then did i realize how it feels to have "a piece of home".Not that I was very close to him..but because he was someone who represented (in a way) who i was and where i was from...
Cant wait to have people visit me coz it would be a great great feeling!
K gonna pack up and head home :)
God Bless!

Back online but stillin sydney

To all lf my (at most) 6 people who read this hahahaha

So I'm online because I have my iPhone. but im at a internet cafe downstairs my place now. Called Happy Convenience. hahahaha

1st week was fun coz it wasn't the school term and I could hang out in the city with mum. We did slot of walking and exploring in the city. Seems there's alot more Chinese than I expected and in fact, there are alot of Cantonese speaking people. I bought my hp in Cantonese hehehe

The bus system is bait like Melbourne and Singapore in the sense that it goes by geographical distance but we enchant an ezlink card that will automatically calculate our distance. We haveto buy the right ticket for the estimated distance

Mum and I ended up walking alot more coz itwas abut hard to find out which bus does where.

We happened to arrive the day before australia day and so weended up at darling harbour watching the Australia day fireworks and performances.

In themidst of all this, I was still quietly assessing the sydney Australian so see how I should be acting as too. I guess they're quite like singaporeans...

In the midst of all that, I got my hp, and bank account done so I'm working on getting all my tools and books for school. In the meantime, school orientation has started. In fact its already the 3rd day. Trying hard to fit in because my classmate Nd I are the only intl students there. in our cohort. Other students who are not australian born , have at least lived in australia for around 3 years plus.

I know Im supposed to count my blessings that Im here but Im missing singapore and everyone there. Especially the times that my friends and I go for supper or dinner. Somehow, my appetitite hasnt been upt eh past 2 weeks. Simply coz I dnt have hte mood to. Even when mum was here, I just didnt have a preference on what to eat..no craving etc. Simply eat coz I have to.

So for teh past few days..I havnt been eating outside. Bought abit of stuff from Woolworths and other convenience stores and survived on that...dont worry..vegetables and fruits included.
It isnt as healthy as I would have wanted it but I know as I slowly get used to my school life (afterall its still only orientation now) that I would slowly build steam and get down to making my lifestyle healthier.

Cant wait for Foong to visit, cant wait for my bros and sistas to visit. much to eat guys! But I wouldnt go without u.....feels wrong.

so yeah... :)... miss u guys, lotsa love from downunder.

God Bless
