Well, friday finally came. My timetable is quite slack actually. I come home early on mondays and fridays. And on Wednesdays and Thursdays, i have a 4 hour lunch break in between which i'll be coming home to rest and cook lunch. Only tuesdays i have to pack my lunch. But for wednesday, thursday and friday, school starts at 8am. I'm still majoring in 2 fields of study - microbiology and biomedical science. The thing is, i found out there's a degree in biomedical science and somehow, Alicia said we can actually change our degree next semester from bachelor of science to bachelor of biomedical science. Not sure about that- will try to find out more.
Anyway, school wasn't that bad. I didn't have to crank up my old rusty brain much. Just needed some recalling of facts. Most of the lectures are things i have studied before in year 2 and yr 3 in poly. So it's alright for me. I have no idea why the lab coat here is sooooo expensive. 3x the cost in Singapore. I dunno why the idea of bringing my lab coat and goggles to brisbane did not pop up in my mind at all. And now, i have to pay (or rather pa have to pay) for the consequence for being forgetful. Hurhur. The lab coat cost $33 aussie dollars... That's like $40 sing! Wah.... I got mine in Ngee ann for like $10? I can buy 4 back at home. The lab coat really cost a bomb....Plus there's like no UQ embroidered at the pocket or something. Just a plain white coat. But of cuz, the material is quite thick compared to my ngee ann one. = ) But it's like.....still damn expensive. Scary.
Oh ya. Always always remember to return your library books on time in UQ. Yan Xia got an expensive crash course on that. She borrowed a book without checking the due date (or rather due time), since the book was only allowed to be borrowed for 2 hrs. So she happily brought it home and received an email from the library late at night saying she has to return the book. And when she returned it the next day and wanted to borrow another book, she can't. She then realised she has a $20 fine! $20 aussie! For a book which is less than 24hrs due. Can you imagine how much the library earns by the amount of fines the students in UQ pay?! Now you know why the libraries in UQ are soooo nice and soooo many spare computers for the students to use. Plus i found out that there is 1 whole level of MAC computers in the science block for the students to use! MAC leh....Apple leh...not cheeaaaapp.....
Hmm.... Practicals are not fun at all. I feel like i'm in secondary school doing practicals. The 1st practical i attended was like for students who had never seen a pipette before and was actually teaching us how to use one. So we were like showing the teacher how we pipette water into the tube. And i see the year 2 uni students figuring out how to use the micropipettes. I'm like wondering why they have NOT seen or USE one before! They're already year 2s! Don't they have practicals in year 1 or during high school??? I dunno man... it's really weird. Well, like what Alicia said, we poly students are really well prepared for practical work. I love poly... really taught me alot... and taught me relevant stuff. Really glad that papa and mummy sent me to poly. Or more like i chose to go poly.... and pa and mummy just paid for it. Hurhur. But i'm really glad that i went poly. Now i dun have to struggle with doing poster or final year project, literature reviews, journals to read, final year reports... Cuz i've done them before and gone through much pain doing it (alone)... now it's like.... nothing. I can handle it. = ) *i hope.
Anyway, heard that NP guys team are champions again. What's new? The girls lost. Badly. Very badly in my opinion. Lucky i've graduated. I' proudly say that i'm in the 2005 and 2006 team. Lol. Oh well, the girls are not taking the sport or the competition seriously. That's my opinion. But what difference does that make? It's none of my business now. And i've stopped playing tennis since it's like so damn expensive to play in UQ. International students are auto-UQsports member. It's about $60 per year for domestic students. But we still have to pay for the facilities we use. Like the tennis courts, swimming pool and even the running track. Can you imagine?! To run on the running track, you have to pay for it. Crazy. I rather just run around my neighbourhood since it's like so hilly. Everyday walking up and down hills is tedious enough. My legs are quite muscular now. Lol. My calf muscles are quite strong. Haha.... But my arms are going to be flabby if i don't tone them with exercises soon. Hurhur... Haven't started the jogging plan yet. Cuz we think it's enough exercise walking to and fro from our house to Toowong once a week with groceries. It's about 45 mins walk to Toowong and another 45 mins back. Anyway, it's $9.50 for courts before 5pm and $14.50 for courts after 5pm. Now i won't complain the courts in Kallang are expensive. Lol.
Well, tomorrow i'm going West bank to check out the wet market there. Heard food is cheaper over there. Have to take a ferry across the brisbane river. And i've to wake up at 7am tomorrow to meet yan xia's seniors at 8am at the ferry terminal. It's crazy... It's like damn early to wake up on a saturday morning.
Adios... have to sleep soon. Cuz i have to wake up early tomorrow....

Happy Gal...
Yay!! I finally got the internet working. Took me 3 hrs to get it fixed. I have no idea how. But i still managed it. Was actually quite frustrated yesterday morning when i left the house, cuz i spent $7 using my prepaid card to call Telstra so that they can call Australian post to find out where our internet kit was. But i got fed up cuz i was alwys put on hold. Went to school 1/2 an hr early to use the internet to contact Telstra instead. Scolded the consultant on their ineffiency and went for class (in a bad mood). How a great way to start my 1st day of school. Haha... Went back home after school about 2 and guess what.... Australian post came and left a calling card indicating i have a parcel waiting for me at Toowong. Jumped for joy around the house. Ate lunch and quickly walked to Toowong Post Office - which took us about 45 mins to walk from our house. Came back after grocery shopping and started using my lappi to install the modem and all.
Somehow, the wireless sercurity thing keeps failing to work. I have no idea how, i just started NOT following the auto setup, did the manual set up, register the modem and somehow, managed to do have wireless network after 2 and 1/2hr try. But somhow!!!! I don't have connection! The lappi shows i'm connected but i can't surf the net - i have no idea why. My other 3 roommates can surf the net freely!! Imagine how i feel?! I'm the one who set up the internet, but i can't surf it - but others can. What the heck is going on?! In the end, i have to use direct cable and now, the whole modem is in my room. Lucky my room is near the cable, if not...i 'll just cry.
Oh well... spent the whole night talking to my parents, kare and my friends online. Hurhur. Like finally... And now, we all have something to do in the house. Not as bored as last week....= )
Quite disappointed with the pol-ite results. Lucky i'm not in the team anymore. IF not, i have no idea where to put my face.
Miss kare lots.

ARGH!!
My web cam doesn't work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can't talk to my parents, neither to my Kare.... What the heck!? I can see myself, but not the other side... My web cam has no problems... Its the network itself. Argh!! Frustrating. *Pray hard that the house internet can work.
Come Monday, I hope the internet will be settled by then. There's already one assignment posted up in elearning. It's a Lit review!! After my final year project, i have a phobia on doing lit reviews. *Freaking out!
Oh well, went for service this morning at a nearby church. It's called Chinese Christian Church Brisbane, CCCB for short. It's not bad, not as strict as LifeBP. There's drums, guitar, bass, organ and piano to go with the songs. Quite casual. Plus the people who holds the service are all quite young. Probably students or PRs living here in Brisbane. It's not bad, just that they use the new english version of the bible and i use the king james version. So i was abit lost, when they were reading the scriptures. Hopefully i can check out the churches kare is gonna send me later.
Oh well, going grocery shopping now...

why why why
Damn it. The internet package did not come and it's already saturday. Went to Helensvale yesterday for some factory outlet shopping. Took us 1 1/2hr to get there by train and bus. Consession fee is about $8.40. Not bad, as we needed to travel all the way to zone 12 to get to habourtown in Helensvale. Not really fanstatic though. The things there are quite expensive actually (compared to USA's factory outlets). Only managed to buy 2 tee shirt that's of reasonable price only. Maybe next time get candies there. Maybe because now it's winter season, most shops were selling cold wear like jackets, track suits. No bikinis or sundresses. Will try again once i finish my exams. Will pop there again during the summer season.
Shopped there till 4pm and it started getting dark. Went to Queen St to settle the internet thing and the guy told me Australian post lost our internet package kit. Will have to call them on Monday morning so that they will call Australian Post to check. ARGH! This internet thing is getting on my nerves. It's not that i need the internet to surf net or what... i want to talk to my parents, kare and all.... ARgh. It's been 2 weeks plus since i talk to anyone of them. And actually looking at them. =` (
Weather here has been crazy. It was 4 degrees for the past few nights. There was this guy who told Alicia that Brisbane has never experienced such cold winter. Haiz. Must it always be me to experience such things? I don't like cold. I always prefer hot than cold. Sweaty than freezing to death. At least i won't be shivering. I rather burn in hell than freeze in hell. Argh. It's crazy! Alicia's parents brought all of us plus Melissa out for dinner at Sunnybanks on Thursday night and the cold was terrible! That was when i miss Kare's hugz..... Haiz. No choice. I forced Yx to hug me. Making us look like lesbians while wating for our buses. The food there was not bad though. The Singapore restaurant was very packed so we had to eat at another Cantonese Restaurant. Seems like the Singapore restaurant there is very popular. It's called Singapura Lah something like that. Selling curry, hokkien mee and things like that. By the time the bus dropped us at our house's bus stop i was practically jogging/running/jumping home but at the same time admiring the billions of stars. Once we were home, we switched on the heater on full blast. Lol. It was that bad. But now that i have experienced the colder cold. It's much better now when the temperature goes up in the day. I think my pores can only tighten that much. It would take me awhile to get use to Singapore's humid and hot weather when i get back.
Oh well, going to school later to use the internet. I need to print my notes and all...

Bored
Something weird happened yesterday. Everyone realised that everyone is very bored after dinner. Somehow, the girls gathered in Yx's room and after while, everyone including roy camped in my room talking about....everything and nonsensical stuff. The girls stayed to watch Tokyo drift till about 12 plus. Hope they slept well after that. Lol.
Internet package did not come yesterday, Which was the main reason why everybody was so bored at home. All of us then realised that we were kind of cut off or as roy said, disconnected from the world for about 1 1/2 weeks. But we seem to be handling it quite well. The main things to do everyday is plan for lunch and dinner, wash laundry and wait for internet package to arrive. Lol.

1st email sent by papa to me. It's so hilarious. Can't believe that pa can actually write such stuff to me. Lol. I was laughing to myself in the library. So embarrassing. But i had a warm fuzzy feeling when i read it. It's kinda weird. We're like a typical chinese/asian family. No hugging or saying 'love you' such stuff. But somehow, not long ago, probably just after i graduate, i feel that i've become closer to my parents. Not in the sense of distance, since i'm in Brisbane now, but in terms of relationship. I'm closer to my dad now than ever. I'm very glad about that. Now, i feel that our family has a western feel to it. I dunno, maybe because i'm going to be gone for like 4 years now.... So... I dunno.
Oh ya, i said 4 years instead of 6 because....HAHA! I have good news!! Went for orientation today and guess what the Dean said!! He says that we have direct entry to do PhD after doing Honours! Isn't that great?!? That means after 1 degree, 1 year honours project, i can go directly for my PhD! I save another 2 years!! Woohoo!!! Even for Uni of Melbourne, it's the same. Woohoo!! So happy! I save 6 years compared to doing my studies in Singapore. Isn't that a really good piece of news?! Yay!! I gotta tell Kare soon. = D I hope he'll be glad. = )
Hopefully my internet package comes in tomorrowwwwww..... *Prays. I'm gradually getting used to the weather/temperature here now. AT least i can walk around in the house with just shorts on and not feel like my toes are dropping off any moment. But it's getting colder everyday. When i first arrive here, it's about 9degrees at night. Now it's about 6degrees at night. But bathing is still a torture though. When i wake up in the morning, it's still a struggle to climb out of my warm nest. Oh well, i managed to catch the last episode of Desperate Housewives just now. Haha.... Somehow, it's my lucky day. Hope it's Kare's lucky day too. Haiz. Miss Kare lots.
I made/decorated my bed with lots of personal touches. I'm sleeping with my 'handmade lovingly by my mummy' blanket, kare's perfumed jacket, duvet and duvet cover, pillow and pillow case bought and chosen by daddy, my dogs (mudpie-shared with kor). Such a warm nest. How to get out of bed every morning?!
Oh well, nitey...

Day by day
Kare sounded very upset when i picked up his call at 2pm. I knew then that something was wrong. Maybe i did something wrongly. Then he asked why didn't i pick up his call when he called 2 hrs ago. Hmm...Cuz i was busy cooking lunch for 6 people? And ididn't hear my phone ring. So sorry. But it took me 1hr to cook and 15 mins for them to wallop everything up. Cooked chicken noodle soup for everyone. Not an easy task. Lol. IT was an experience cooking for so many people.
But it was good to hear Kare's voice. Very good actually. Was very happy the whole day. = D Thanx sweetie. For calling and all. How i wish the internet package would arrive soon. Listening to one of your favourite ( not what i like) song from Robbie Williams. Even though i don't like it, the song is still kinda special to me. Cuz we'll always argue abt Robbie Williams right?? Right Kare? I still don't really like him. I don't know why. He is not handsome or hot. AT ALL. Don't understand why the girls go for him. Dunno why.
Went to school today to use internet. Somehow my emails get lost too. Smses don't work. No wonder Kare sounded upset. But it's not my fault if i dun receive it!! I don't know why also.... But i will msg every night ok. I try.
Yanxia said there's a factory outlet at gold coast and she's gonna bring us there on Thursday. Hopefully there are things that i want there. Things i wanted to get US but couldn't. = ) Before school even start, i'm already spending money.... Damn. Have to scrimp and save this week. And maybe the next. Living expenses in Aussie is quite expensive. Food is not cheap, even when you cook at home. Of course it's cheaper than eating outside, but still, it's much higher than in Singapore. Even home grown fruits or meat here is more expensive. Eg. Pork. didn't we have airpork in Singapore? Pork is about 20% more expensive than Singapore. Even apples, oranges... it's 3x the price in Singapore. I have no idea why. Is the labour here more expensive than the shipping cost to singapore? That's weird. Pork here is more expensive than beef or chicken. Chicken fillet is more expensive than chicken drumsticks. Works different entirely in Singapore. 12 drumsticks cost A$6.50. 2 chicken fillets cost A$13. In singapore chicken rice stall, the drumstick is the best part and the most expensive! It's weird here.
Kare is damnnnn cute. Juz called me. Spoke like there's no tomorrow. Lol. 30 words in 5secs flat. He makes me laugh. Love him lots. Kare, i love you lots. Good that you've found a new job. Hope you'll do well in it. = ) Coach people until they turn pro k! When i come back, make sure u coach me till i turn pro too. = ) *hUgz* Haiz... Love it when i hear his voice. Miss you lots.....
Miss my family too. Miss singapore's weather. Here in brisbane, everything you so like eating, sleeping, bathing also cold. Can't appreciate the cold. But i muz try to embrace it. Get used to it.
I know Kare will keep me warm....

Sunday
Yx came back and i felt much better. At least there was some familarity. Finally.
Went to town with her and her sis. Her sis took us around and taught us how to use the public transport without spending too much money on it. Alicia's gonna come back tomorrow and hopefully, get some grocery shopping done in the afternoon.
I still can't get my dates and days right. Keep thinking it's much later than usual cuz the days are so short. It's very dark after 5 and it feels like 8pm. But the stars are still like crazy. Still clear sky after so many days. I hope it rains some day. But hopefully it doesn't get any cooler. It's the most terrible after a bath. Cold till you shiver like crazy. Plus when the warm water hits your hands and feet, it has the burning feeling cuz it was too cold. It takes awhile for the hands and feet to get warm.
Still homesick like crazy. My emotions are like in high motion or something. If anyone mentions family, singapore or anything to do with back home, my emotions would go crazy.
Prayed to God. Asked Him to give me strength. Felt better after that. Thankfully.

Papa Left
Papa left at 11am. Teary goodbye. Not exactly goodbye cuz i couldn't say it. Was choking in my tears. So i just waved. Goodbye sounds bad, cuz it's never a good bye. It's a bad bye. I hate saying goodbye. Sounds like i'll nv see him or anybody i've said goodbye to.
Once papa left, i felt so lonely. I'm all alone in Aussie. Though i have friends here, it's not like my family is here. When pa came with me, it didn't feel so bad. But now that pa has left, i couldn't take the loneliness. How i wish Alicia and Yx would come back from their trip soon. Roy and his parents have gone out. All alone in the house.
Cooked lunch. Miserable meal. The whole house was so quiet, have to play some music to create some noise, hoping it'll help to take away some loneliness. It didn't help. Was crying through mid-meal. Thinking about alot of stuff. Why did i choose to live in a foreign land all by myself, making myself so miserable. I can't take cold. Most people know that by now, and it's like freezing cold here all the time. KARE! WHERE ARE YOU!? But at the same time, i know i must learn to be independent, not to rely on my parents all the time.
I know i have been very sheltered all my life. Even now, i consider myself to be quite sheltered by my loving parents because they have sponsored me to be here. I know i have to pay them back as soon as possible. That is the only thing that drives me now. I must get a job as soon as i graduate and earn money so that i can pay back my parents for whatever they have invested in me and my education.
I appreciate everything much more now. My blanket, made lovingly by mummy, my bolster cover, also made with loving care by mummy. Kare's jacket, mug and nightmare b4 xmas lamp, Dr Lim's book, my photo albums made lovingly by my dear friends. I need all these to survive out here. Thank you so much everybody. I don't think i can make it without these stuff. Thanks pa, for everything. Thanks for thinking about my safety and wellbeing all these while. Thanks for accompanying me everywhere. Will definitely miss your naggings and advices.
The house is nice. Will post the pictures up soon. The drought is still on in Aussie. Therefore, water usage is very important. Each person is only allowed 140 litres a day. That means- 4mins shower per day, 3 flushes per day, small load of clothes to be washed by hand. There's no clouds in Brisbane. Zilch. Zero. Clear sky all day. The only good thing is you can see millions of stars at night. I'm serious. Millions. The sky seems to be dusted with stars. Really beautiful. Kare, you should really be here. You'll lvoe it here in Brisbane. Cool and dry weather, stars at night. The bad thing is there's no rain. It's been 6 years since Brisbane has seen rain. Therefore, the drought.
I must be strong. I will strive it out here myself. I must make it back in Singapore in November.
God, give me strength.

Cooked lunch. Miserable meal. The whole house was so quiet, have to play some music to create some noise, hoping it'll help to take away some loneliness. It didn't help. Was crying through mid-meal. Thinking about alot of stuff. Why did i choose to live in a foreign land all by myself, making myself so miserable. I can't take cold. Most people know that by now, and it's like freezing cold here all the time. KARE! WHERE ARE YOU!? But at the same time, i know i must learn to be independent, not to rely on my parents all the time.
I know i have been very sheltered all my life. Even now, i consider myself to be quite sheltered by my loving parents because they have sponsored me to be here. I know i have to pay them back as soon as possible. That is the only thing that drives me now. I must get a job as soon as i graduate and earn money so that i can pay back my parents for whatever they have invested in me and my education.
I appreciate everything much more now. My blanket, made lovingly by mummy, my bolster cover, also made with loving care by mummy. Kare's jacket, mug and nightmare b4 xmas lamp, Dr Lim's book, my photo albums made lovingly by my dear friends. I need all these to survive out here. Thank you so much everybody. I don't think i can make it without these stuff. Thanks pa, for everything. Thanks for thinking about my safety and wellbeing all these while. Thanks for accompanying me everywhere. Will definitely miss your naggings and advices.
The house is nice. Will post the pictures up soon. The drought is still on in Aussie. Therefore, water usage is very important. Each person is only allowed 140 litres a day. That means- 4mins shower per day, 3 flushes per day, small load of clothes to be washed by hand. There's no clouds in Brisbane. Zilch. Zero. Clear sky all day. The only good thing is you can see millions of stars at night. I'm serious. Millions. The sky seems to be dusted with stars. Really beautiful. Kare, you should really be here. You'll lvoe it here in Brisbane. Cool and dry weather, stars at night. The bad thing is there's no rain. It's been 6 years since Brisbane has seen rain. Therefore, the drought.
I must be strong. I will strive it out here myself. I must make it back in Singapore in November.
God, give me strength.
