Last weekend we had a long weekend, thanks to ANZAC DAY.
Apparently it is a commemoration day to pay respects to soldiers who gave their lives to the war. I’m not too sure about this but it’s somewhere along those lines.

Didn’t go over to cicik’s house cos she was working throughout the weekend. So I stayed home and tried to catch up on school work.
Since nisa’s housemates were gone for the weekend, I would keep her company and study together or just watch tv together.
Btw nisa is a frd made in aussie, she’s a fellow Singaporean whom was introduced to me by Ferdinand, my agent.
So now we’re staying abt 2mins walk away. That explains the ease of going to her house to hang out with her. She also turned out to be nadia’s sec sch frd.

Ahahhahha what a small world!

So yeah, we went out grocery shopping and then had nando’s for dinner.
Then we just hung out and watched movies at her place.
Other than hanging out during the weekends, she would visit us whenever she’s feeling bored or when she needs to print stuff, and it will always lead to late night sessions of talking of how to cope with inevitable crappy feelings that we might be having.
We would also discuss abt sch work since we are all in the health science faculty.
We also held cooking sessions, so far we’ve had lemak ayam cili padi, ayam masak merah, tom yam (coming up soon) and etc.

we’re also thinking of cooking fish and chips next. She and nadia has this habit of feeding people, they are always afraid that I will starve to death.
I mean don’t get me wrong, I love that they are feeding me, but u get the point where they literally LOVE feeding people. hahahhaha

These small things are what make living away from home bearable. We’re lucky to have each other.



banana smoothies!


pizza!


lemak ayam cili padi!






check out the photos i've pasted, there's more!
stay tuned!

*no matter how hard it is, I will be fine without you.
it will all get better in time. I hope.

Hey
I have been feeling ‘shitty’ for a couple of weeks now. I don’t know why.
But I reckon it’s cos of me missing home and the workload of uni being impossibly heavy!
ANYWAYS! I got so restless then I decided to do smth to my room.
And then I realized that my current room does not have any pictures pasted on the walls!
Ps: I had some pictures pasted up in my room last year.
So I figured maybe I was feeling shitty cos there are no vibrant, cheerful pictures that I can look at to make me wanna persevere and look forward to coming home at the end of the year.
So in the middle of studying, I figured I should paste up the pictures and not wait till another time.
So there, in the middle of studying the brain (anatomy), I dug out photos and stuck blutack on it and was pasting!
It’s not that many now, I was thinking of printing recent photos to put up.

Anyways, I’ve got my FIRST AID CERT! weehoo..Now have to fax it in to the sports trainer centre and they will give me the sports trainer cert as well! =P

I will print new photos the next time I go to a shopping centre,maybe I will print some for cicik as well.
Her house no pictures except the one at ramen ten, tu pun she’s not in the picture.. HAHAHAH

anyways i'll post the pictures up next time ah, gotta study for my test ln the brain now.. which is abt 5hrs later.
crappy chapter btw..
bye!

Staying abroad really changes a person.
Being in that position now, I’d have to agree.
Be it change towards the better or in some cases, to worse.

More often than not, there will be a balance between the change towards the better and the worst.
People could change to be more introverted/extroverted
Some would actually turn out to be more independent. But there are some who don’t, as they tend to rely on the very people who are there around them.
I’m not saying that it’s bad, because I get it that it’s just human nature to some people to just not have a care in the whole wide world.
The list goes on and on.
As for me, I’ve become to be slightly introverted, be more independent and to not take anything for granted.

But I have to say, I have to thank Him and my parents for giving me the opportunity to study and live abroad on my own, to find my path and to improve myself as a person, in character and in faith.

Sone of you might wonder why I seem to be in a very “low” mood.
I’m actually fine, it’s just one of those days where u wish u could be home and be surrounded by familiarity,because that’s so many things here that are so unfamiliar and needs a lot of getting used to.
I miss home.

But other than that, I’m fine. =)

Okie, so mak dek came over to Melbourne.
And I was having normal uni days while cicik took leave throughout the time that they are here.
First weekend was kinda hectic as I had a first aid course and then a sports trainer course before finally being able to head down to cicik’s place to meet THE TOURISTS.
Heheh..
The day before the first aid course I just felt horrible cos I was gonna go through a 10am-5.30pm day without any breaks in btwn. Not even a 30mins break.
The weather’s been very cold. So it adds on to the mood of being so restless.
I didn’t even get any studying done that night. BUCK UP ALYAA!

So the next weekend, half of them had already left, but I still had the half of first aid course to be done.I scored FULL MARKS for my first aid test!! WHEE!
Yeah but they had a typo on mky cert so couldn’t get the cert on that day itself. So have to wait for it to be posted to me.

Anyways the next weekend was deidre’s birthday and it was all good and did more shopping at queen Victoria market.
They went crazy! And it was also the weekend when I got the flu bug.
Whole body is just so smashed and couldn’t do anything productive. Cicik was forcing the pills down my throat.
Hahahha

Did u even notice me there?! I bet u didn’t!

You, do you remember me?
Like I remember you?
Do you spend your life
Going back in your mind to that time?
Because I, I walk the streets alone
I hate being on my own
And everyone can see that I refell
And I'm going through hell
Thinking about you were somebody else

Somebody wants you
Somebody needs you
Somebody dreams about you every single night
Somebody can't breath without you, it's lonely
Somebody hopes someday you will see
That Somebody's Me

How, How could we go wrong
It was so good and now it's gone
And I pray at night that our paths will soon cross
And what we had isn't lost
Cause you're always right here in my thoughts

Somebody wants you
Somebody needs you
Somebody dreams about you every single night
Somebody can't breath without you, it's lonely
Somebody hopes someday you will see
That Somebody's Me

You'll always be in my life
Even if I'm not in your life
Because you're in my memory
You, will you remember me
And before you set me free
Oh listen please

Somebody wants you
Somebody needs you
Somebody dreams about you every single night
Somebody can't breath without you, it's lonely
Somebody hopes someday you will see
That Somebody's Me
