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...
