11:31 AM ♥
officially, school has started for me and today marks the beginning of the third week i'm here! in these two weeks, i've explored quite abit, thus, i have tons of pictures to show. just some impt info first. :] i have gotten my aussie number, if u want it, email me at my sch's email and i'll tell u. u can always sms me at my sg number without any extra cost incurred to u or me. and i'll reply with my aussie number. i'm super bored here, so i'll most prob reply u when i read the msg :]
let's date back a while shall we?
believe it or not, this is the name of my plan's company. i actually think their logo is nice :]
and they do recycle their phones. not only those old models but models like n95, etcetc.
there's a taiwanese shop in the back alley of the city. it's seriously a back alley. this place sells bubble tea. but at a ridiculous price! 3.50AUD for one simple cup of milk tea that we can easily get for 1.20SGD or 1.50SGD. but i really like it there cos they keep playing mtv. so it just reminds me of the times i have with my friends in kbox.
their city seems small. or maybe it's cos i have not explore everything. but city back home means a huge place. here, it just refers to queen st mall. hmms..
anyway, we went to my friend's colleges to explore a little.
this is one of their toilet. it's shared with god knows how many girls. and more imptly, it cant be locked.
jean, huiqi, suzen and me at the great court!
on saturday, the four of us decided to go out and stretch our legs.. :]
we took the city cat! as the name goes, the boat is shaped like a cat!!
okay, those who believe that sentence can go jump off the building already. anyway, we went to goldcoast!!
how beautiful right? and i'm just kidding. this is southbank. with their fakebeach and all :] they even have lifeguard there :]
the four of us amidst the weekend market.
at some part of southbank.
and that's me.
eating churros :]
anyone wants a ride?
after that, we went to the city and toowong. and it was time for us to head back to the hostel.
what a beautiful sunset right?
but the night didn't end there. i went with some towermates to eat indian food in a restaurant called "one night in india". stop laughing :] then we head on to david's house to watch tv. it happened to be showing batman begins.
ann louise! all curled up in the sofa at david's place. u know what, she has a very nice room with a queen size bed and more closet space and she pays the same rent as me. how lucky! anyway, she's really nice person to talk to and she just turn nineteen on july 11! happy birthday AL! :]
all of us at david's place :]
can u see anything? this is how dark it is here. from 6 onwards.. how sad right? that's why the students here watch alot of tv, dramas and movies! and with that, there's this file sharing prob in school which i used that got me TONS of movies, dramas and what not. so my nights here will be occupied somehow!
on sunday, i got a visitor from sg!!
AUNTIE IS IN BRISBANE!! :]
we're at her hotel! the bed is HUGE!
i brought her around the city but next time, i aim to bring her to the direct factory outlet! are u excited auntie? i hope u come again soon! i miss all of u!
this is just a small part of officeworks. it's has every known office supplies.'
including..
POST IT NOTES!
this is a western meet eastern dinner farewell for one of my friend's family. i cooked none of the above. :]
this is how they show their tents. cute right?
and this is how their cinema looks like before the show begin. it's almost like a theatre, so even u sit in front, it wont strain that much as compare to back home. the interesting part is, it's free seating! so u have to go early to get good seats! and of course, i watched the dark knight.
i went to this church! i think it's the oldest catholic church in queensland or something. it's very pretty!
the interior. look at the organ pipes! it actually works!
and this is the organ!
one of the pretty windows.
have u seen police on bikes?! hahaha :] it's really cool how their police actually patrol around the city often.
finally took their train. look so movie like right?
the tracks and what not.
and the trains dun actually go fast often unlike mrt. short distances, they go slow.
what a beautiful day! sadly, i got lost!! this is the result being new. they have to change train here and there and it's all so complicated. shall attempt it again soon.
it takes skill to drink from such a short ht.
when we're back at the city, i finally found the crumpler shop!!!!
i always tot in sg, there was only a pathetic few shops. here. there's only one.
crumpler brand apples.
i like the way they put their bags. those are actually chairs.
i was trying to imitate the crumpler logo.
doesn't this look nice? well, it made my stomach churn for hours after eating. :(
i didn't pay so much to become a burden but yet, i feel that when i'm with certain ppl. i need to find my own space here. a space where i fit in, where i dun feel left out, where i feel at ease and more imptly, away from u. i dun deserve this kinda attitude from u esp when i helped u out quite abit. u just made me appreciate my true friend back home even more.. that's all for now.. i have to go prepare my notes for tml's lecture! :] drop a comment!
