you're a mystery yourself
&the beauty.
internet connection is finally set up here.
ok. an update about how my past 2 weeks have been.
airport sendoff
im really thankful and glad to have such supportive friends and my wonderful family and relatives.
u guys made going away easier than i thought it to be.
thanks for being there. =)
arrival in melbourne
touched down at tullamarine airport early in the morning.
uncle pat came to pick us up to my apartment.
he's sucha nice uncle.
he got everything set up and bought a lot of stuff to furnish my apartment.
he's really sucha great help.
from renting my apartment for me to furnishing it to driving us around to get things done.
so yep. i was kinda zombified upon arrival since i didnt really sleep on board the plane.
the weekend was spent with him going for lunches and dinners and shopping for home appliances.
i needed a heater desperately.
the one in the apartment wasnt enough.
he also kinda oriented us to melb.
orientation
parents went with me for enrolment in the morning.
they left after awhile.
i went about the enrolment stuff on my own.
got my id card, internet account set up, went for some talks and made friends =)
the rest of the week was preddie much just info sessions and welcome lunch as well as addresses by the principal.
all went quite ok but it wasnt like orientation back home.
here we had much more leeway. =p
there are only a few caucasians in my cohort.
guess i will only see more of them in the Uni. haha
oh wellz. people are quite nice.i have to be really independent here.
everything's up to me and really a lot of freedom is permitted.
this 8 months is gonna be a whirlwind.
really. time passes exceptionally quick.
met auntie tanfen and her preddie daughter susannah for dinner on sunday night.
she's really model material and i couldnt tell she's only 15.
oh wellz. nice company and nice hosting at her place. =)
super sat was river cruise down yarra river.
was kinda boring but the after shopping was not bad. =)

all lectures on thurs.

tuts have started and all.

gonna get back in study mode asap.hee
got to made more friends and stuff.
but there were alot of ppl who alr had friends and arent too friendly.
oh wellz.
anyhows. parents left on wed afternoon.
they had excess baggage.
all thanks to the wine and liquers they brought back.
its damn cheap here compared to spore.

world cup fever has sorta gotten to me.
staying up to watch quite a no. of matches alr.
-

man. im gonna miss all of u !! 
-
2 more days left.
gonna get down to serious packing by tonight.
hope to be able to pack everything up by tmr.
orientation sounds quite ok after reading the pamphlet on what's gonna happen.
i really hope i do make friends over there.
or else i would be some sad loner going thru winter with a depressed life. =/
haha.
i hope not.
&the beauty.
ytd night's supper out was nicee. =D
met up with the guys-in-army (daryl, kaden, leo, robin, bjorn and sara) and yin, chel and fel. =)) its always nice hanging out together, catching up and updating each other abt stuff in our lives.
but wells. its gonna be a long while till i can meet them up and just hang out and chill.
sadness is getting to me as the day of departure draws nearer and nearer.
i dunno y.
but im seriously predicting im gonna have an emo breakdown there now and then as i reminisce about the times spent here and my family and friends over here in singapore. =/
it makes leaving here harder too as i think of these times.good or bad..
the reluctance and unwillingness to go is starting to settle in me as i think its ONLY a mere week away.
everything's surreal still but i know emo prep is really necessary.!
this is my future its my life.
all i have is myself to blame for not doing well in the As.
i know this is so gonna be a new and probably exciting yet daunting experience of a lifetime.
but it REALLY helps if i had company though.
i really am so grateful and thankful for all the support-be it emotional or mental- from my family and friends that i get to enjoy here.
there, its a whole new start of making friends, building relationships all over again. =/
much as i dont like change, i have to adapt to survive.
been trying to convince myself things wont be THAAT bad but i still cant help but worry as i prepare myself.
oh wells....
-
just went to collect my A level cert from school.
the school building still has this cold hard look and it doesnt give that so cosy and accessible feeling that the SA @ malanroad had. =P
good times shared are best treasured as memories.
assurance....
&the beauty.
yesterday
town-ing with fel.
was trying to find stuff in the GSS.
but sales were not good as i said.
didnt really manage to get anything. =/
but it was great meeting up. =)
today
just got back not long ago from holland v.
it was nice hanging out and chilling with gladys and kenneth.
great knowing gladys.
we've been in the same sch but nv really talked.
now, at least i will have some company when im over there =)
today was major slacking and sorta sorting session at home.
i desperately need to get my stuff packed up asap.
it almost seems surreal that ive only gotten slightly more than a week left in good ol' singapore.
saddd. =/
i will definitely miss y'all here.!
hrm. its mixed feelings as usual.
half excited half scared.
im really hoping to find friends there.
or not loneliness will only get the better of me. =(
god bless me.!
my room now is really piled up with all the stuff i need to bring over there.
there are loads to be packed.
hopefully it wont be overloaded and i have to pay for excess baggage.
tt's gonna cost a whole lot more. =/
i still have alot of things to settle and all.
and thinking that i have to handle everything alone when dad and mum leaves, its worrying me a hell lot.
oh well. tt's how im gonna gain independence yea.
anyhows. i will adapt and survive there. =D
im sure.!
&the beauty.
ive got everything finalised and settled.
eVISA approved.
accommodation settled.
school fees paid for the 1st sem.
air tickets bought.
international license permitted.
yep. that's about all i had to settle before i leave.
im glad everything's gone smoothly.
now its just mental and emotional prep before i go.
man. tt's slightly gonna be tougher.
i myself CANT imagine its a MERE 2 weeks away.
i havent gotten enuff of here. =/
im so gonna miss a hell lot of things.
oh wells....
-
ytd i met up kenneth for dinner.
we had dinner at fish&co. his treat =)
thanks yea.!
walked around and basically caught up.
man. he got me quite hyped up about life there.
haha. im sure its gonna be fun.
but the homesickness part is not gonna go away.
-
i cant wait for mondayy.
its shopping spree with fel!! =)
although i would say the GSS aint tt a big deal.
prices arent slashed that much.
its still pretty much the same since they have sorta staggered the sales.
but well. there are quite a no. of stuff i need to get anyway.
and yes. i havent seen tt girlie of mine for quite awhile. =)
major catch up time too.
hee. =P
till then.~
