Finally!!

It's a Sunday night down under and, as I promised, I'll update the blog. I realised today that keeping in touch and updating people is much much harder than I thought, cos sometimes you end up repeating yourself a minimum of 3 times(depending on how many good friends you have) and yet you feel bad if you do not reply individual emails because these people have put aside time for you. Plus as I've told many people, I have a sickening 400MB internet data quota, which in layman's terms is suckyly little and ngiao. I've decided to Skype people a maximum of once a week, and if I can afford it then more =) And I shall update the blog every weekend (cos that's the only time I reckon I'd have)

Pictures!!! The storage space in hostel is SUPERB (better than IKEA) and I so neat. I realised I need FBTs, I only brought 2 pairs sleeping shorts, 2 pairs of sleeping long pants. but now, since it's pretty hot, I GOT NOT ENOUGH SHORTS! Wah piang.


The first photo I took when I was there. I'm very slow with taking pictures and updating. My camera has taken less than 20 photos in the past 7 days in Brisbane. so sad.

See the picture I put up in the previous post? That's a picture of my desk before the printer came in. I just got a superb laser printer for $95, and they gave me half price of the toner! So I got it for $54!! SO cheap!! Can make the fella in Sydney juealous, muhaha) I'm having so much fun printing from my cute monster printer.

And my 2 most precious things!! Guitar+bolster=Bliss
(Yes that lump there is my baby bolster)
And what's my photo update without one of some -8 legged creature! Spider!!


And the hostel comm sneakily put up my namecard when I wasn't looking. Yes, ang mohs now officially know me as Diane. Long story behind the name. But the important/funny thing here is what's BeLow my name. It's damn funny. My mum's super paranoid, she's constantly reminding me to cover up that sticker with something as soon as I can!

Love you guys!! :D And I'm perfectly straight. =)

Suddenly...

I'm going to miss every one :(

Chiochio was such a chio today, talking cock (literally) with her pulled me out of my abyss of pissed-ful-ness. Seeing her kuku, I mean pretty face made me feel like slapping myself a little less.

I shall advertise the wonderful miraculous works of the Chio herself. Epitome of self-love, haha.

I can't possibly mention everyone I'm gonna miss here, it would be highly impossible and risky like MI4.

=( Pouts....

I miss our MRT system already!! Well I don't miss the sardine crowd, but our public transport is the ultimate (at least to me). I'm gonna miss the funky-smelling 106 which has been my staple bus of 2008. They should give me loyalty card.

I know I'm gonna miss our kopitiam's and food courts with cheap and good food. And miss the funny sights of table chope-ing tissue packets.

10 Days Till Lift Off!

These couple of days, I've been suddenly finding myself stressed and thinking: Holy crap, I'm about to fly off to a foreign land and start a whole new chapter of my life on my own. Holy Crap!! Wth was I thinking when I decided to do so?!

But then again I don't regret m decision one bit, well at least up to this point where I'm in the comfortable-est position of having m laundry done for me, dustbins being emptied and groceries being replenished. It's like having a genie around you without even realising until you suddenly find that you're on your own.

I suppose it won't be that bad, hopefully.

Anyways, in my pre-departure-shopping-excitement on Tuesday, I begged my mummy to buy me an alarm clock! It's freaking cute (and dangerously easy for me to squish and therefore oversleep all my classes)

But it's soooo mini and cute! But it ticks daaamn loudly, as f it were some grandfather's clock.I had 4 guitars in the house this morning!! ( And will continue to do so until the weekend) Meet the Stringless Classical, Piece of Metal Junk, Nat's brother's soon-to-be-wife, and My Baby. (From left to right)

SHOUTOUT: I'm selling the classical and electric because I don't want them to rot as I spend the next 4 years overseas, yes I'm finally parting with them. Anyone wants a spare guitar at home? Selling the classical for $30, the electric for $60. I'm seriously just trying to get rid of them before I leave or my mum will scream. So prices are negotiable. And yes, I'll be restringing the classical before I sell them.

So please PLEASE help me look around for any friends/family/animals who want to have a guitar around the house but aren't quite willing to spend more than 50 bucks. The classical is pretty good, much better than many chunks of wood you'd get for not less than 50. And the electric isn't that trashy either, it's an Aria, action a bit high but still pretty decent for beginners.

And I baked muffins today! The row of muffins with the funny symbols were a work of my sisters, she calls them vulgar muffins. Get it? Hahha...

Wah piang wey!!!

Looking at the magical pop-out-of-hat bunny helps me forget the fact that I just stupidly screwed the camera SD card upside down and have just lost the photos taken during the class bbq/dinner/whatever. (I'll post that video another time)

and I had the only copy of the group photo!

and it sucks that I feel like a complete bimbo complaining about digital shots lost to the world of technology, because, they are after all, just photos. But I was looking forward to FINALLY uploading pictures for people onto Facebook, especially when I'm probably not gonna see these people till June of the end of the year, I feel sooo bad because...

I've failed as a Facebook user. =(

Can't even upload pictures properly.shit man. I should get a geeky computer programmer boyfriend and a proper computer education.

13 days to departure! Holy crap!!!
