Milo crunch

Subject changed! I feel kinda relieved i guess. This has been my most decisive decision i made in the past week. My room-mate n grace would know how crazily fickle i’ve been. AND how the system just somehow hasn’t gone my way.

But all’s done now. I came home for a mere 45mins to grab a quick brekkie, send an email and get a change of clothes. Cos what i wore earlier wasn’t enough!

I wanna get a goodnight’s sleep tonight. These eyebags are such a horrific sight.

Rattled

I am so fucking fickle minded, sometimes i really annoy the shit out of my own self. ARGH. 

This, hopefully will be the LAST TIME i change another subject. 

Today, was just bizarre. 

And seriously, where is all my money going to? I don’t get it.

Where ar thou camera?

*EDIT

Grace HAS MY CAMERA!! Wooohooos, i take back everything i blogged. Paisei. And i lubs u berri much!

 

Last night, at Eve was one of the better clubbing nights i had in a really long time. The music was r&b and i must admit, as much as i’m trying to get into the whole aussie trance thing, its reallllllly good to hear music which is often played back at home! :)

I went to this place called FIX last week, and it wasn’t as fun as i hoped it would be. The company was great, but woah the music and the people weren’t impressive at all. So, i kinda thougt that would have summarised the nightlife scene in Melb.

But last night wasn’t half as bad! And for the FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE, i saw derek dance!! He came with us!!!!! Derekoo if ur reading this, i think you’re not bad at all :) (i bet u secretly enjoyed it a bit righttttt) He was super afraid he would be the ONLY guy amongst the roses, but i didn’t lie right! haha

Anyway, the only shitty part of the night was that i lost my camera, dammit. damn it. damnnn. So the very few photos which i took, are gone! I hope the person who picks up my camera and uses it, will never EVER be photogenic in his/her life.

On hindsight, i was telling sfee that it could have been worse. So, as long as i have my phone and wallet safe with me,  those 2 more important. Camera, i could always buy another one yeah :) Just that, i’m not really the careless kinda person, hence losing something is quite a strange feeling to me!

OHWELLS. My bad.

Jas is here, and the 2 lazybums (jas+soong) are still sleeping, while i’ve been awake for over an hour, and feeling dehydrated as hell. Jas brought over this superdoooper thick reader for one of her subjects. I’m pretty scared mine would be similar to hers. I have this defense mechanism towards very thick books where i just don’t touch them. So we’ll see, i’m trying not to think about school, till sunday night.

Anyway, if you’re kaypoh and would like to know, my subjects for this sem are

  • Lifestyle and consumer culture
  • Media and Communications theory (BAH!)
  • The french revolution
  • Renaissance in Italy

Let’s see how badly i screw myself over. haha (or not, hopefully!)

Laters, y’all!

You can’t manufacture a miracle

Last night i prayed for quite a bit. Even though life’s really going great in here in Melbourne, sometimes i just can’t but worry about my folks in Singapore. Yes i know, they’re adults already, whats there to worry about right. Well, all i can really do is pray for them and my extended family plus friends :)

Here in melbourne, things have been nothing short of fantastic so far. Tmr will be D-day, where i probably take the most hideous picture of my life for my student card, collect my OSCH card, get the Caval card and pick my modules and sort out the timetable! Yikes..

Okay i know i promised 3 updates (and by now many many more ), so i shall just start with the beanbag one! Basically, sfee n i decided that it was time to fill up our beanbag, and that we did! Just that after we filled it, heaps and heaps of beans were all over our floor.. :(

 

Then we had no vacuum cleaner. So we went to sfee’s friends place to get one, and we walked all the way home on the main street with it. Boy was that some experience. Imagine carrying a vacuum cleaner in the main orchard road from Plaza Sing to Liat. And it was pretty heavy to we had to carry it siamese twins style. We tried to ignore whatever stares we got. 

Vacuuming never felt so great before! 

The city library which is seriouslyyyy just behind our house (can throw stone) is pretty good, we can borrow up to 30 items and their dvd collection is not bad! Sfee managed to get her hands on several Little Britain Series and some other decent movies. I managed to borrow Marry Poppins and have read 45 pages into Norwegian Wood. The library just might be my favourite haunt, seeing as i love their quaint journal cafe as well. 

Last night, we caught our first movie in Melb. We really x10 wanted to catch Dark Knight, but it was sold out. Boohoo, so Get Smart it was. Hilarious albeit slapstick but it was a good laugh in all. We joked about how we actually paid Aus 10 to watch a movie, which is about 13 bucks in singapore. And that could have bought us a pair of tickets in Lido. But owells, if we had to compare the prices of every thing here with Singapore we might probably just pull our hair out and die of bitterness. 

After buying 2 more pairs of shoes and a cream coloured jacket (or black), i promise to stop shopping. I’m feeling pretty broke already its not funny man. 

Anyway, if things go as planned (crosses fingers), i just might be living in a new abode when (or if) i graduate in 2010 in Singapore. And I’ll be 23 by then. How scarily grown up does that sound. 

I was reading my bestestgirlfriend’s blog and she seems to be really having a ball of a time in Europe! Exciting stuff man. I cannot wait to see pictures!!!

First post in melbourne

HELLLLO GREETINGS FROM MELBOURNE.

Firstly, the flight was disastrous. There was turbulance throughout and i thought that maybe i would have died in the aeroplane with two burly man beside me and that would have just sucked.

But i didnt! and boy was the pay off sweet. Melbourne is soooooooooo pretty :) :)

I’m staying at southbank now, 2 blocks away from grace, for the first 5 days before my place at flinders is set up! Our place looks pretty much identical, cos the 3 blocks in a row,  is all by the same developer MICM. Very cosy i must say. I live on the 20th floor at Southbank and can i say the view is GORGEOUS!!!!!! It is such a lovely sight that i couldnt bear to fall asleep because i was afraid i would miss my first sunrise. I could see the ocean from where i was.. just breathtaking!

Pictures are in the cam now, but i PROMISE a picture update real soon!

I settled my mobile number, electricity and banking stuff :)

Went for a short stroll with grace n derek for some tea and groceries, and i saw a CHEF STORE which im so super excited about, i shall go there tomorrow! Grace was like, “babe, what are u looking at, and then she turns around and say, ohh okay, it opens from 11-4, u can come bk tmr.” YAYS!!!

I think the super shiok weather has just killed all homesickness for me, or maybe it cos i have tons of things to settle, so im kept busy.

The only downside to winter is that it gets dark so early!!!!!! :( :(:(

Missing everyone at home. And my bed.

Please drop me emails, mails, tags to tell me how u guys are doing. Will blog as often as i can, especially when my own internet is set up.

I’ll put up my contact no here, but pls dont prank call me, and let me know who u are! +61406278302




Delish

Has a new found appreciation for early mornings and a comforting cup of coffee.
