do i like it here or not?

so i realied i've nv blogged about it. wot made me write abt this was a fren who commented that i dun seem to like melb a lot. which really made me think. do i??

ok, i wanted to come here so bad becuz i hated e teaching system in singapore. after going thru so much in jc, i thot i had enough. but e main reason y i came was becuz i wanted to get away from everything. i wanted to start anew. i wanted to come to a foreign place where basically almost no one knew me. i wanted to experience e feeling of being thrown into e deep sea n to find my way back on my own.
so i came to melb with my dad who only stayed with me for abt 5 days. n after tt i was all alone. it was scary at e beginning. cuz i had no frenz, so wot am i going to do during e weekends or my free time? i cried for a week. it was terrible. i scolded my brother on e phone who thot it was so easy. further more, it was winter i was freezing like hell. life was bad. i had to cook on my own. i missed e times when i could juz slack ard in my room n wait for my grandma to call me down for meals. but cooking was fun. since i could experiment around n cook wotever i wanted. i refrained from instant noodles, unless i was real busy. but i ate LOTS. i could eat 1 whole big piece of dory fish fillet, a bunch of veggies n 2 cups of rice. of cuz i piled on weight.
then i met zixin at e orientation. boy was i glad. she was a v bubbly, cheerful girl n we could really chat abt almost everything. i really thanked God for that. so we did everything together. marketing, went shopping, pigging out, juz everything.
next came along bowon, whom i met in one of my lectures n we were told by e lecturer to introduce urself to e person beside u. she seemed aloof at first. but maybe she was juz shy. i introduced her to zixin n bam! we became 3 of e best frenz. almost inseparable.
so where did e guys come to e picture?
i was in bio lab n there was this guy sitting opposite me who looked so much like singaporean. so i took e initiative n talked to him. he was zichao.really friendly n hardworking guy.i spent a lot of time with him since he was so hardworking, he could help me out n stuff. n everything else juz happened when he introduced us to jonathan, ben n tuan.
then bam! again. friendships blossom n couples form n i shan't go into e details.
the seven of us roam around together melbourne, tour around e suburbs, discover nice places to eat n yeah it was fun.

so now back to y my fren commented that i didn't seem to like e place. well cuz i can very safely say here that in melbourne, asians n caucasians hardly mix. it is fine in gold coast, we even frenz with some caucasian over there n she was e one who told us that, so that's e reason y thou she's staying in melbourne, she's moving over to gold coast.
so wots e problem? my fren was saying probably i wasn't sociable enough? no i dun tink so. it doesn't only happen to me. but yeah actually e caucasian girls are alrite, i can really talk to them,but if it comes to hanging out i guess not. do not talk abt caucasian guys cuz most of them juz do not bother about you. i'm not saying all, i've met some nice ones in lab n all that. but yeah u juz cannot take it to e next level.
so juz basing on this statement tt i told my fren tt asians n caucasians dun mix, he thinks tt i'm not hving fun here. which is so wrong. i love my frenz, they mean e world to me. with no family here with u, they are e ones u depend on most. sometimes yeah i do mix being served n my family n all tt, but i've gotten used to it.
i seriously love e freedom. best thing over here.i can sleep at wotever time i want, sleep as much as i want, go out as late as i want n there's no one to care. besides i get to eat a wide variety of good food, pig out at Brunetti's where they sell fabulous cakes, or get all choked up with choc at Koko black.....hmmm nice.

basically, i do like it over here. i build up even more confidence, i expose myself to more cultures, i find out that i can do things that i've never thot i could ever do, am more independent, love my frens to bits...
my only complaints...bloody weather is so freaking unpredictable, i dun get served anymore haha, i hate to do laundry(i even hand wash these days), its too nice to sleep over here i become really lazy, stuff r a tad bit expensive thou only at Direct Factory Outlets are e stuff really cheap.

i used to thing it is really cool to study overseas. n i still think so. and it makes me realise how important my family is to me. i love them, but i love them even more now with all my heart. my daddy n i were never that close, but since i've been over here, i can feel e love so strong it makes me so happy. juz a phone call n it'll make me so happy. i like this feeling.

anyways thing of e day! afternoon tea at brunetti's........

me n my choc n strawberry jam filled cake. yummy!

almost + krispy kremes...

i was this close to getting hit by a car today. scary.
i dunno wot i was thinking abt but i was deep in thots, standing at e junction, with my mp3 player in hand. n i heard e green man signal go up. n i juz walked straight out on e road
without even looking. this girl cyclist suddenly rushed past me n said be careful! and e car was horning at me. seriously everything was a blur. i realised after that that e green man signal was on for e other side of e road. dangerous.
i guess i juz hv to be more careful~

on another note, more krispy kremes arrvied...my fave doughnuts..been gorging so much down the past few months think i'm gonna be fat.

but i juz love krispy kremes.....yum yum...
jealous not?? haha....

e death of steve irwin has been a great loss. my heart really goes out to his family.
reading e newspaper today in school about his wonderful relationship with bindi was so touching
i was seriously gonna tear. he is such a great dad, no matter how busy he would get,
he would always spend so much time with her.
it is sad he had to die in a freak accident.
he's contribution to wildlife has been amazing.
watching e tribute to steve irwin on tv made my heart ache so much.
he was so kind, so real, i couldn't help but tear.
i regret not going to e Australian Zoo when i was in gold coast.
yes, its too late.
