I would say that today was a pretty good day. Besides the fact that i had to dress up and go to school for like 15 mins. So stupid. I had to go for this international student meeting thing with one of my co-ordinators. All she did was ask 3 questions, "what's your name?", "where do you live?" and "do you drive?". That was it. She just needed the info for our fieldwork placings. So tell again why this couldn't be done through email..??? Nope. they just HAD to make me walk all the way to school in the scorching sun to the OTHER side of campus.
So the good day started when Cheryl, whom i'm meeting for the 1st time in the last 2 years of hearing about how wonderful she is, came over to photocopy her stuff. It's so great to have a 3 in one printer, you get hot chicks in your room man. Guys should definately invest in one. Anyway, she brought me out for Gelare. It's waffle day. And yes, gelare does somehow manage to taste better here. I think it's the heat. So we were talking for most of the afternoon and it felt so good. It's the longest conversation i had with anyone since i got here. Plus it was so comfortable because she knew who i was talking about and she understood what i was talking about. So it kinda made me feel better about being here. When she lit up her ciggie, and that familiar smell of Malboro menthol lights made me think of my ching chong chu friends back home. Miss them soooo much. But i did have fun with Cheryl. I now know what dennis was fighting so hard for.
Then when i got home (i was supposed to do my reading, but i just skimmed through), i received my aussie drivers licence with a friggin ugly picture! But it was kinda exciting cause now i can officially drive in oz. Plus, my parcel from my jie came too! It's so exciting receiving mail here. It's makes the monotony alittle more bearable. So feeling like i missed my friends, i called szeling at work to disturb her. I think she doesn't miss me anymore cause she hears from me so often. Haha.
Arh..... i think i'll have to go and kun now. I've got classes running all day tomorrow. I think tomorrow is going to suck. There's going to be a stop in water from 6am to 8.30am so i can't shower before school and classes run all day. Man it's going to be unpleasant. School is sian. Bah.
It's supposed to be the last day of summer today! Why is it still so hot...??????????
I'm watching CSI right this minute. It's kinda cool on Sunday, it's CSI Vegas and CSI Maiami back to back. I am such a tv junkie. Bad. Bad for health. Seriously.
It was quite a good day today. I went to church in the morning and it was alright. Met some of my sister's old friends. It was slightly awkward, as it always is in a new environment where you don't know anyone and you kinda have to try and be friendly. It's hard for me to be friendly here because no one understands me properly. The cute guy i've been bio-ing from church just got ttached on Wednesday. Pang sai. When i saw him last week, he was still available. Sian larh. TOTALLY sian. Not because he's attached, but because i'm like Carrie Bradshaw. I always pick the wrong man. Darn it. How annoying.
Oh! Today was worth remembering, for the 1st time since we all moved in to our flat, all 6 of us were in the same place at the same time!! We even took a photo to prove it actually happened! Unfortuantely, i can't post it, cause Curtin has blocked uploading stuff, so i'll have to get round it first. So you guys got to wait till hayden figures it out. Haha. So since we were all around, we piled into Elishia's car and drove to the beach. It was nice, though we only stayed like 15 mins or so. I was feeling brave and wore my bikini, quite pleased there wasn't an oil spill. I'm going to try and be slimmer. It seems easier here. I wonder why. Oh i know why, cause linda isn't here. I miss linda............. Oh oh oh! At the beach right, the aussie peeps brought their dogs along. The poochies were sooooooo cute. I wish i had my russelly here with me too. Since the poochies were running around, i managed to catch one of the russells and sayanged it abit. More for my own satisfaction that its. Haha.
Hmm..... ah hah hah. I'm so proud of myself. Today i did my own laundry. Ok fine. Kelly taught me how, but still. It's my virgin encounter with a washing machine. And i hung up all the clothes myself and i handwashed all my panties. Therefore i deserve alot of credit ok! It's quite a feat for me horh.
School officially starts tomorrow. I have 2 lectures tomorrow. 10am-12pm, then 6pm-8pm. Nothing in between. I was reading up in preparation for tomorrow's lecture. Turns out that i don't remember a single shit from poly. Thank goodness i didn't apply for exemptions, i would have really struggled to get by if i did.Praise God. I can't remember ANYTHING. Wat do centrioles do? Squamous cells, globet cells and all that stuff. TOTALLY cannot remember. Lots of catching up to do.
Alrighty. I have to go sleep now. Going to shop for groceries tomorrow. Hafta buy fruits, milk, juice, bread and other nice muchies to keep me company since i have no friend. So much for being thin. Peeps. You guys just have to come online. PLEASE! Come online earlier can..??????? Please..............................
Okok... i know everyone wants to look at some pictures. I don't have any. I'm sorry, but there's nothing here worth taking pictures of. I have like no friends what so ever, so yeh. The camera has been put to rest for awhile till my life here gets more exciting. I had initially wanted to post some of my airport photos. But since i look so darn fugly and fat in ALL of them, i will not post them. I promise i am not so fat now. Kinda lost ALITTLE bit of weight. So yeh... i'm still working on it. So no pictures for now, until i make some friends. Haha.
My complexion is weird now. It's dry, but i'm still getting pimples. That's not ver normal. I don't know if it's just reacting to the weather, or is it the hormones or something. My face is like dry and peeling, when i put skin care on, it hurts. But i'm not sunburnt, so it's really strange. I don't know. I feel so ugly here. Everyone else dresses so well, so trendy. I'm just the uncool frump with a ugly Singaporean accent. Darn it. As you can tell, things are not getting better yet.
I took the bus and the train down to Fremantle today with Kelly. We took like an hour to get to Freo. It would have been much easier if we had a car, or not. I don't know. I can't decide. Parking in Perth is quite retarded. We both got ourselves a pair of sunnies (not sunglasses, not shades... nope. Here, it's SUNNIES. Remember that). I got another pair of aviators. The one that i brought from home broke. So i'm really sad cause they were really perfect. The ones that i got today from the market looked alright then, but when i tried them on again at home, they looked kinda funny. So i'm sad again. =( Then since nothing in Freo was on sale, Kelly and i took the train back to the city. Then i applied for the Myer card. I take joy in collecting points now. That's how sad and uncool i am. Aiyarh. Half the time i don't know what to do with myself. I'm still waiting for the part where things get better.
Anyway, what is it with guys thinking that they can get away with everything. Even when i'm here it is apparent. Is it an ego thing? Is it a challenge? Is it a game? I don't know. Why do they take pleasure in making other people miserable or unhappy? It really is ridiculous. One day, they should have a taste of their own medicine and be trampled all over on by a pair of really high heels. We'll see if it hurts. I really don't understand it. Why are the mechanics of a male and female so different? Maybe it's a generation thing? *shrugz* Why should i bother with the low life. Pond scum. Whatever. Ew.
It's Sunday tomorrow. The day where the entire city of Perth sleeps. Nothing is open. I'll be going to church tomorrow. Early in the morning. 9.30am service. It's going to be held in my campus, so i'll just walk there. I don't know anyone, so i'll prolly just sit in the corner all by my lonesome self and talk to myself in my uncool singaporean accent. Ah. I just wanna go to church and find a place to belong. Since everyone belongs in the house of God, i should be fine there tomorrow by myself. If it doesn't work out, at least i can walk back quickly and do my laundry. I have to do my laundry. Everyone in my flat has done it already and i feel pressured to do mine as well.
Alrighty. I think i will go and sleep now. I had an early start to the day. I was supposed to do my reading, but i got turned off just looking at them. Here i am pocrastinating again. I was supposed to be dilligent and study really hard while i'm here. Seems like i'm off to a bad start. Argh! I've really got to do them tomorrow. MUST! Ooooh. But there's CSI on TV tomorrow. Haiyarh! How like that..? SEE LARH! PANG SAI!
Perth has some seriously good TV shows. I'm practically glued to the tv when i'm not sleeping, on the phone or on MSN. That's what Hayden said when he came into my room to return me my magazine and spilled shrimp and prawn dip on my carpet. Since i am anal, i'm going to dettol my carpet tomorrow.
Know in the beginning of the week, when Hayden hadn;t fixed my MSN, whenever he came into my room, he knocked. Now, he just bursts in like he's Aileen. I wonder what his reaction would be if i were naked...? That should be fun. Haha.
I'm not so bored anymore. I have like ALOT of reading material. Things to chase, labs to book, test dates to book. Argh. I don't understand why we can't do these things online on our own computer. We have to go all the way to the school librar to book a test date ONLINE that's set to take place in another venue. It's just completely ridiculous.
The money that i've spent in school is way more than i spend on shopping. And that's the truth.
Goodness. It's 9.30pm and i'm sooooooo drowsy. I don't know why. It's just this place. It makes me really sleepy. Like there's so little time to be constructive cause you're sleepy all the time. Oh. I don't know. Still mucking around in the water, testing it out. We'll see. We'll see. Still waiting for things to get better in school. Waiting for cool weather. Just waiting. I'm always waiting for someone, or something. Argh. Waiting for the other shoe to drop. Always waiting for the other shoe to drop.
It's hot today. Really really hot. It's like 40 degrees out today. Roasting man! I have my fan on, and i'm still hot, plus i'm all itchy cause i get heat rash. So i'm actually feeling quite miserable.
Went to school for course orientation today. I'm depressed. I think i'm the oldest in my course. All my course mates are girls. There are about 150 students in my course, but only 5 are boys. I say boys cause they're not over 19. Neither are the girls. How depressing right? Feel so completely out of place. I don't usually wanna talk because of my out of place accent. Then they all look so glam in the heat and i just look like champalang pang sai. Not feeling comfortable in school at all. Then i don't have lunch because it's quite loser to eat alone in school, not that i have issues with eating alone. Then i sit alone in lectures too. So pathetic right. I feel so loser. Argh. Sucks larh!
The only consolation today was hanging out at home with my flatmates. Hayden got my MSN to work! Yay!! He's my new hero. Haha. Can you believe that hayden's never eaten cup noodles before. We had to teach him how to cook it. He's a scholar know. It's cup noodles larh! Goodness me. Oh! I cooked my own dinner today! From scratch! Are you proud of me..???? *beams* I made pasta. Hee hee hee. It was yummy and it was edible. I deserve some credit. Haha. But i had to wash alot of stuff after that. I'm not sure it's worth it.
Hmmm..... there were fireworks today. It was just directly outside my window. I've never seen fireworks so close before. It was amazing. So pretty. But it also made me think of Mr Big. We always seem to be together when there are fireworks. Oh well. Lets just leave it as that.
Ok.... i think i need to sleep now. I'm sleepy and hot and itchy and bothered. I'll catch you guys again! Come on MSN earlier ok..???? I sleep early here. Tired and bored. So yeh! catch you aain k..? Night.
So how's everyone back home..? I miss everyone so so much. I miss my family, my russell, linda, my clique, my ching chong chu friends, the food, home in general.
I think i'm adapting pretty alright up till now. As in i haven't been crying under my blanket. Not yet anyway. I just hope i'm up to the challenges that await me.
The weather in perth has been pretty erratic. It was kinda cool the past few days, then today, it was so hot! It was 36 degrees outside. I had to walk to school in the sweltering heat. I was so tempted just to wear my bikini to school, but of course i can't do that cause i'm too fat. It's going to be worse tomorrow, the weather reports said that it's going to be 39 degrees tomorrow. I have a full day orientation tomorrow!! ARGH! I'm going to be hot and sweaty and icky! I hate it. I'm just thanking God that it's not humid.
I'm bored most of the time here. It doesn't really help that i don't have MSN. I can't even log on the the Web messenger. The Uni firewall blocked it. Therefore i'm feeling quite miserable. It's about 8pm now and i'm feeling so ready to go to sleep. I don't know if it's the weather or the environment or the atmosphere, but i feel so lethargic all of the time. I know that i was lazy back home. But now i just feel so lack of energy, it's not so much laziness. I make my bed, i have breakfast, i wash my dishes, so i'm not that lazy. Just feel so sleepy all the time! It's annoying.
I just read my lil mei's blog. She sounds so much like me it's freaking me out. Boy do i miss my mei. I miss my jie too.I wouldn't be so good and settled if she wasn't here. Thanks jie. I love you and i really appreciate it. My pa was so nice and supportive too. He made my room as homey and as comfortable as he could. I'm so blessed. I really shouldn't be complaining.
The funny thing is, i've been dreaming about Mr Big. I kinda really miss him. Maybe it's because i'm alone here and i'm bored. But when i was out shopping with my dad and sis , I keep thinking, "he'd look so good in this", "oooh. They have slippers in his size", "Man, i should bring him to eat this, he'd love it." Things like that. Then, i'd hit myself in the head and tell myself that we're so over, we need a new word for over. I'm just alittle off my bearings cause i'm away from home. I'm sure i'll be alright and he's still my friend. So yeh. Nothing wrong with missing him.
Anway. I should tell you all about my flat mates. There are 6 of us in total. 2 Boys (they really are boys, they're 17, and they're aussie), one's Hayden, he's on scholarship, doing forensic sciences, and Brad's doing Chemical engineering. Then there's this american girl, Kelly, who's doing her masters in International Relations. She's speaks and writes mandrin, i think even better than me. There's also this sweet aussie girl, Alicia. She's 18, really bubbly and pretty. Sunita's the one i share the toilet with, she's from singapore too, she's also doing OT, but she's in her third year. Then of course, there's me. We don't talk to each other much cause we mostly stay in our own room, minding our own business. The occassional "hey" occurs when we bump into each other in the kitchen or along the corridoor, but that's about it. Sad eh.
So yeh. I think that's about it. OH oh oh!! I have to mention this. You know that Singapore Idol guy, Chistopher something..? He's in Curtin too! I saw him in my lecture, so he might be in my course, or else in Physiotherapy or nursing. Hmm. Will update. Haha. Alrighty. i don't really have to go, but desperate housewives is on now. So yeh. Even here, i'm a sad shit. People, it's time for a vacation for all of you, how does perth sound..????
Internet's up and running now. But my uni blocked msn and other messenger stuff. So i'll ask dennis to help me get round it. So EVERYONE! Update your blogs!! And i'll update mine as soon as i can.
As they say down under... See ya Later! Miss me!
I am in a considerable amount of pain right now. I just had another of my wisdom teeth extracted and the jaw s really really really sore and painful now. For those people who really hate me, now would be a really good time to kill me cause i can't really protest. All you have to do is bring me out and eat my favourite food infront of me like right now and i'll drop dead. OWWWWWWWWW.........
