Third week is just starting...

It's been another week.... I feel like i've been here long enough and it's time to go back home....
But... it's only the end of second week and the third week is just about to start. Just thinking about the loonnnnggg school term makes me sad... I miss home so much. Now i know what it feels like to be home sick. I'm not a very patriotic person, but somehow, i miss Singapore. Now i know how people really feel when they say 'Singapore is my home'. I still feel pretty foreign in Brisbane. Like, i don't belong here at all. The house still doesn't feel like home. It only feels like a place for me to stay and study for the next 4 months.


Anyways, Yan xia was asking me about my calcium intake about 2 days ago. Because i'm kind of lactose intolerant, she was wondering where i'm getting my calcium from. I was.... speechless. I did not think of that at all. I only know that if i drink milk - i'll go straight to toilet 2 hours later. Well, that got me thinking and the next day, i went to get multi-vitamin and mineral pills. Lol. At least now i'm taking some calcium, iron and vitamins. I was actually thinking of getting those chewable vitamin C pills as well. But since i got the multi-vitamins, it's more than enough. I think. Plus, i'm eating fruits everyday. = ) But the fruits here are really expensive. It cost 3x as much as singapore. Apples are like $4 per kg on average. So if there's discounted prices of fruits like $3 per kg in supermarts, we girls normally buy more and stock up. Cuz the discounted prices usually last about 2 days.

I know, our behaviours very auntie-like, but we have no choice. Fridge is very very well stocked. We have almost everything from chinese herbs to biscuits to different types of meat, vege, noodles to canned soups. And miso paste for soups and even salted fish! Haaaa....

Plussss, we invested in getting a weighing scale and muffin tray for our baking needs! Haha... Yan xia and i couldn't take it anymore. We have to bake. Gotta ask mummy for choc chip recipe later. Hehheh.. = )


Oh well, assignments are piling up. Gonna have my first practical this week. Wonder how it will go...

And somehow, the weather is getting weird... It's getting colder again. It was 6 degrees last night and somehow, we girls just have to choose last night to go out to the balcony and watch stars and have hot chocolate. By the time we settled down with our hot chocolate, it was lukewarm and cold the next minute. Yan xia did not join us - cuz it's just too damn cold. So Alicia and i wore quite thick clothes and braved the cold. It was alright after a while. The stars are really beautiful. Our backyard is very very dark, therefore the stars were dazzling and the moon was very bright. God's work is really amazing. Wish Kare was here. I know he would loveeeee to see that.


Kor's birthday is coming up. Sigh.. I'll miss the birthday dinner. Oh well, hopefully i can get 1 when i get back. Hurhur...= )


I'm gonna continue on my assignment now. Lots of literature reviews to do...
