i guess i should write a bit more about life now, since you pple are probably dying to know. haha! my ego, forgive me. anyways, i met up with some singaporean vet science classmates and seniors for dinner last night, and i have to mention this cos it's really memorable. they're really fun people and i had tons of fun with them at dinner. i sent off my family in the afternoon so i was really down, luckily they were fun enough to make me feel better. i should really introduce you to them sometime, maybe when we're back in singapore for winter recess in july, haha! anyways i say they're nice bcos back in college things are abit diff. my collegemates are nice yeah, but nothing beats going out with a bunch of authentic singaporeans in an unfamiliar environment. and two of my vet sc classmates even walked me back to college at night, cos it's kinda unsafe. and they were friendly throughout the entire LOOONG, windy and freezing cold, walk (about 25 mins).
so anyways, melbourne so far is really enjoyable. i like the place a lot. although cost of living is high, it's really wonderful walking around seeing new things and breathing new air. there are so much more things to see walking around melbourne than anywhere you can find in singapore. the people are really REALLY multi-cultural. if you thought singapore was multi-cultural, THINK AGAIN. melb has singaporeans, thais, vietnamese, malaysians, hong-kongers, taiwanese, mainland chinese, japanese, koreans, italians, nigerians, americans, and all these in generous proportions! singapore just has them in very small proportions, lol! i haven't really been into any shops or malls, not much time to. but just walking on the streets is enjoyable! weather's chilly but with enough layers, the walk will be fairly pleasant! only bad thing is having to carry an umbrella, sunblock lotion and a jacket all at the same time cos you never know what might happen. also it's hard wearing shorts/skirts cos you never know when the weather might change and how far away you'll be from your wardrobe to get a clothing change.
rightio, i'm supposed to be playing games at college orientation now, but i kinda ponned it. (SHHHH!) i can hear some shouting and sirens blaring intermittently while i'm here typing and uploading pics, slogging away so that YOU can have something to read/view. by the way, i've met another rg-rj girl, one year my senior, she looked familiar cos i think i see her around school sometimes. and there's another rj guy in vetsc, but he's old! cos he's here after ns. quite a few vet sc peeps are older than me!
right anyway, i'm gonna try slip a nap in before dinner, dinners here are too early!! they start at 6 i think...sigh. it's 5.18pm now, and.....i'm feeling cold! haha randomness.
P.S.: to my dear cousins, this blog used to be mainly for my friends in school la, so a lot of my posts are about the gluttons (my friends in school) etc, but now i formally invite you to my humble blog. haha, i don't think you guys will be here often, cos glo has A levels, yt is like a computer-noob and fio just doesn't use the computer! but anyways, check it out whenever you can then.
