nothing is better than HOME
Hey peeps!A big thank you to those who came and sent me off :DD
I'm awfully sorry you had to see a really pissed off face cause the aussie immigration didn't update my visa with my new passport photo though they said it was done. And that I didn't have time to chat with you guys either. I actually could have stayed longer like 5 mins or so since the gate wasn't as far as what the guys said. haha. But I didn't want to stay longer either beacause I knew that if I did, it'll be much harder to say goodbye. I couldn't look at anyone straight into the eye because if I did, I'd probably start bawling and look totally unglam. HAHA.
I was feeling relieved when I got on the plane and just settled myself, not able to think of anything else until the plane started to take off. Looking out of the window, it just hit me really hard how many people and things I'll be leaving behind. Though starting a new chapterof my life in another place would be really exciting, I just didn't like how I'll be so far from home. I never got homesick during camps or holidays since I knew I'll be back after a few days. Tears just kept falling as the plane lifted into the air as if gravity was making them gush out nonstop. It was slightly embarassing since the lady beside the aisle was taking glances at me. I had the urge to run to the toilet to bawl but the plane was stabalizing so I forced myself to stop but it started again when I read Joyce and Liting's letters.
The first night at Luddy's place wasn't very good. We went to the mall to grab lunch and everything seemed so strange. Everywhere I turned was blonde hair and tall. I was slightly scared that I had to stay in this place for 2 years and 8 mths alone without my family and friends. I got uncomfortable and didn't eat well for 2 days. Plus I fell sick due to the weater.
Well I did get better and settled down more. Not very homesick now but I still think of home now and then. Oh man. I really miss everything back home.
That aside, my room's just nice. Will post up pictures of it soon.

how do i park!?
I just came back from a drive and the driver was none other than yours truly! HAHA.My dad wanted to collect his Caltex points and I got to drive (:
Driving out was fine. It was slightly scary though because it was night time. But the other drivers were really nice. Most gave way to me when I changed lanes.
Also the U-turn near the Caltex at Brinjai Park was slightly dangerous cause Bukit Timah is a straight road with not much traffic lights so the cars drive at high speeds. The U-turn is also slightly hidden. I was a little afraid to move my car. HAHA. I was so afraid that a car will come speeding by and crash into me :x
Then when I got home, I didn't know how to park!
At BBDC, you have the 4 poles as guide. Now that I've graduated I have no poles to guide me (instructors say that they will give you 4 poles once you graduate. they lie. HAHA). My dad said "Just reverse." and I was like "THEN WHEN DO I TURN!" while my brother was in the backseat laughing at me. Now that I had manage to get the car into the lot nicely, it's actually quite easy. Mostly based on gut feeling and checking of mirrors.
Well, if you ever bang into the cars beside you, just adjust your car. And be ready to pay the car owners. HAHA.

If you haven't been helping me to settle anything for Australia, then I don't think you have any right to criticise me.From the University to airticket to accommodation, I've been doing everything myself.
I'm stressed enough with no where to stay. I don't need someone to tell me I haven't been trying.
If you've not going to help me then maybe you should just keep quiet.
And thanks for telling me I haven't been doing anything or you in the past 10 months in your company. That makes my 10 months working for you so much more meaningful.
