Flotsam & Jetsam

Updating time again!

Long time since I touched my blog… really sorry about that. Hahaha…. Anyway, it has been 2 months already. Tonnes had happened during this period of time.

Firstly, I did some travelling with my housemates and friends to Sydney and Perth. Sydney was really fun, everyday was productive and we did lotsa things. Really busy and crowded city, with lotsa people. Almost like Singapore.  We walked around all over the city, due to the high transportation fees that deterred us from actually using them. Visited Darling Habour, took pictures with Habour bridge and Sydney Opera House, watched Phantom of the Opera there.  We lead tai-tai life there, eating, sight seeing, afternoon tea (all except for the tonnes of walking done). We even went for KTV session in Sydney and sang till 3 am in the morning. Thank goodness our hostel was within walking distance. Hahaa… we ate a lot there, spent lotsa $$ on food! The fish market was fantastic… we ate salmon, tuna and kingfish sashimi, baked oysters, fresh oysters, king prawns (which are really huge!), lobsters, even tried abalone sashimi (which was rather disappointing! Sian.) We even went back to the market a second time! Hahha… I also managed to catch up with my JC friend in Sydney, as she was on holidays to Sydney with her bf’s family. Hahha… Poor girl. Anyway, I really enjoyed my visit there. The phantom was great. It wasn’t sang by the main leading actor, but not as if I can tell the difference in the singing if it was him. Hahha… the ending was kind of too abrupt for me though…  How could he just leave her… I wanted it to be a happy ending for him at least. Anyway, it’s over. Really loved the music and songs sung.

Perth on the other hand was slightly different… The city was extremely small…. The people were laid back and very relaxed. Slow slow country-like place. Not my favourite type of city. I’m prefer to live in the place where I can easily access things, with late night shopping, places hang out with friends and nice places with nice food for supper… hahha…. Having swollen gums during the entire holidays to Perth didn’t make things any better. Can’t eat properly, can’t enjoy the food. As you people all know, eating happens to my all-time favourite pastime, that really ruin things!  But anyhow, I really enjoyed meeting up with my poly friends… Staying with them in their apartment (did I mention “illegally”) was kind of scary and nerve wreaking. We had to try to be invisible to one of their problematic housemate, who thinks that she is always right just because she is older than us. CMI… Really CMI lor. Not as if this is her country, India or Sri Lanka… whichever that is. Hahha… Oh…. We also went for 4 wheel drive in Perth, taking thrilling rides up and down sand dunes in the 4 wheel drive…  Really fun! Did sandboarding too. I tried all styles, sitting, lying down, standing, and even together with my friends on the same sandboard, which actually got us tumbling down the slope. Hahhah… It was really fun though! It’s a must do in Perth I think. We also went for horse riding in Perth… almost forgot about that. Managed to try trotting on the horse. I really enjoyed it, even though I was rewarded with some bruises on my feet and a slightly sore bum. Some of my friends were really traumatised by trotting as they were caught unaware when the horse attempted that. One actually fell off the horse. Thank goodness, she wasn’t hurted. Hahha…. Sandboarding and horse riding were the highlights of the trip!

After reaching back in Melbourne, I had been busy packing and moving house (2^nd day after I came back from Perth). The new house is really really nice and clean. With a landlord, who cherish all her properties very much. She tries to save in every possible way, as much as she can… sometimes it feels a bit daunting living with her. Hahhah… But at least, this is better than staying with untidy, disgusting, dirty, smelly housemates…. It’s only the 3 of us in the house, not like 11 people in the same house. But it feels really weird living with the landlord who is so clean. U never know what u do that she might be displeased with…. Faced with the possibility of chased out of the house. Not that she is unreasonable at all…. Hahha… dun worry. I wouldn’t be without a place to live. Magdalen offered me a bed if that actually happens. Thank goodness for that. Anyway, as usual, she is damn damn busy. She was supposed to bring me for din sum this week… but seems like she can’t find a suitable time. Hahha….

Lastly, all my previous housemates are all happily back and safe in singapore, near their family and friends…. Sigh… and I am still stuck here… hahha… but I think I really gotten used to living here… enjoying my slacking days… think this will be the slackiest period of my life! Should try to learn to appreciate it. Hahha… anyway, I was quite sad when charmaine left for Singapore (which happens to be my last housemate to leave for home). Who ask her to write me a note and even give me her left over whitening masks… that made me wanna cry and laugh at the same time. Hahha….

Anyway, I will be back in about 4 plus months’ time. Time flies and I will be back with my family and with my friends to sing KTV! Hahha… Have to keep telling myself that! Hahha…. That should be more than enough update. If u wanna know about anything, pls tell me so that I will know what to blog. Hahhah…

Take care people!
