just some random thoughts
8:05 AM
Wedding after wedding, it dawned to me that my time might be coming. I keep thinking that, all these times, i grew up thinking that after finish studying, i would marry the man of my dreams. have kids and grow old. living happily ever after.
but as i age, i realised that things were never that simple. it's a procedure for what happen after. but, truthfully speaking, will every thing end happily ever after?
come to think of it, everything happened so quickly. time flew. and now, i wonder, is the life ahead of me, mine. or is it there becuz it's there. now that i am alone out here, it makes me want to be stronger. but at the same time, i am still seeking comfort from my aunt.
life have never been kind to me. it's what i made life out to be. it's me who can choose what happen. i will always rmber the pastor saying. In times of need, we seek help from God, hoping that He will come to us, even if we abandon him in times of prosperity. God never abandon His children, but the catch is, He will only show you your paths ahead of you. let you choose one of the many paths He have lit up for you. but which of the path will you go down, it's up to you.
Everytime I am at a crossroad, i seek help from Him, wishing that He will tell me what i can do, what i should do, but ultimately, it is me that have to make the decision. To choose the path I want to go down with.
I wish life is this simple. Grow up, study, have fun, get married, have kids, grow old with your partner. But another part of me, hopes that life would be bigger. life would be about getting that one big carrer, getting that big office in the building, making tons and tons of hi-bye friends, coming back home in your huge apartment, hanging around with my pet dog, (and kids if there is any). Lying in the arms of the man i love.
Now, all i can think about is to do well for my studies over here. Get it done with a big bang. Then, i can start living my dreams. not just dreaming about them.
i want to succeed. i know i can do it. but please, let the paths infront of me lit up, so that i can see clearly what i want for myself.

walked the dog!!
6:39 PM
this is the first time i actually walked the dog. which was actually a really fun thing to do. and despite the cold weather, i really enjoyed it. i wanted to walk chloe today, but i missed the timing by napping.
i always see people walk their dog, but walking a dog in this cold weather is a fantastic feeling that i could have! all the more i want to get a puppy of my own. And pamper it the way i want it. let it sleep on my bed with me. accompany me while i am watching tv.
every morning i wake up, chloe will be there waiting for me at the stairs (if the bunny gate is up). or she will be at the door, wagging it's tail. looking so happy while waiting for you. I love it. brush my teeth and the usual, then i pat her. so cute so cute. It has been a rountine everyday. waiting for me to wake up.
every morning, i have been waking up earlier than usual. i hope it gets better, since i have not been using the alarm clock. the next thing on my checklist is to get the phone with my mobile connection. Chances are i won't get the car to travel. so.. i gotta travel to school like 1.5hr to school. BAH. that's a biatch~
then i really really have to study study study!!!!

Rouse Hill Town Center
10:01 PM
Today, i went to Rouse Hill town center. It looks really lovely over there. Found my electric blanket and sweatpants etc over there. We were gone for 2 hours plus and i came back just in time for my chatting session with dexter. ;)
I wished i remember to take some photos while i was there. hahaha. but i guess it slipped my mind. or rather i would be like tourist if i did that. furthermore, i didn't see anyone with a camera on hand. lols. unlike in S'pore, everyone is clicking away. hahaha
i went to Coles, Target and Big W. even though i have not get used to the direction of the places, i just follow as i went along. the most impt thing i was doing there was to open a bank account for myself. :) lovely isn't. haha. i am really looking forward to starting sch. apprenhensive, but i guess i will get used to it.
New environment always makes people nervous, doesn't it? ;) Tomorrow, my bed will be here. I will have some rearranging to do. And i finally packed my room, from those stuffs i bought at Ikea. Also, with the new hangers I've gotten for myself, there's no clothes or jeans lying around on the floor anymore.
I really want a bolster sia, even though i can replace it with a pillow. It is just not the same. I finally web cam with dexter today. It went well and I didn't cry. I just feel happy to be able to see him i guess. It was a really lovely feeling to be able to see him again.
I guess it's time for me to hit the sack and I will try to post as and when i am able to.
Reminder to self: take pictures of this lovely lovely place!

My first 3 days in Sydney
6:09 PM
I am finally here. Didn't know what to expect. just thought that sydney would be similar to singapore in some ways. and that I would be able to adapt to this city just as i adapted to living without mommy.

after i took this captivating view on the plane, i believe that this part of the world can't be all that bad... let me turn back time abit and tell you that i almost missed the plane bound to sydney from perth.
i reached Perth international airport at around 3pm. However, because there were 2 planes that arrived at the same time, the airport and baggage claim took awhile. By the time i got out, i missed the 3pm shuttle. So i waited for the 330 pm one, and guess what.. my boarding was 355pm and the trip down to the domestic airport is like 20mins.
Finally i reached. after all of that, the plane was delayed, and thus, i was able to get onto the plane! :) i reached Sydney at 10pm and Uncle Nic was there to pick me up. The ride home took 2hours due to the traffic jam in the city.
well, after 2 days here. i am still getting used to the cold. but i love nathan, chole and luey and uncle & aunty.
i am missing the warm warm weather..

Ko2 Jo's Wedding
12:09 PM

Last sunday, Koko grand's elaborate wedding @ grand ballroom at Pakuwon Golf & Resort was really floral. It was filled with fresh flower like tulips all around the ballroom. It was a standing party, which meant majority of the guests would have to stand around and miggle.
Before the bride & groom walked into the room, the crowd covered the whole of the ballroom. Soon after the food 'stalls' were being opened for the guests to get their food, almost half of the guests were gone.
============== NO PHOTOS UNTIL I RECEIVED ==============
I heard they were going over to Bali for their honeymoon. :) Best wishes for them.
Psst: They have like a 5 tier cake.
