Life in Sydney

ok, it's time to update (after being reprimanded by quite a few of people). well, the reason why i was not updating my blog is that i m very LAZY~~and yah, the whole new life in sydney and UNSW is killing me, in a way that i am so dreadful in adapting to this new environment. ok well, it's 5pm now, the weather is nice, windy, a little cold but yah, i prefer cold weather than torridity. i gota finish this post in the shortest time possible, since i wana be studious and back to my revision. (wow, chia voon sien, u are studious?is something wrong with you?well, this series of questions won't be the obstructions for me).

i arrived at sydney on 14th february, which i celebrated my precious valentine's day with my housemate, since her boyfriend is not here, i became the back-up, for both of us 's sake. Once i reached sydney, the first sentence popped up from the bottom of my heart was "cheh, it's just a normal city, nothing special what!", mind my words, "reached sydney" means that i was still in the airport, and it has been the first time that i realised how important mobile phones are to human beings, or at least for me, since i had to use public phone to call my dad's friend's daughter which was then became my housemate-she is katherine by the way. ok, nothing is wrong with using public phone, HOWEVER, i inserted 20 cents and was planning to call up katherine, but once she picked up the phone, the line engaged, i repeated thrice and gave up. so it's only after i met up with her in the city that i realised the public phone in sydney despise 20 cents, and despise poor people as well, u must at least insert 40 cents to make a call. wth, in malaysia 10 cents is enough to start a call (erm, i think so, it was 7 years ago that i last used public phone, can someone pls tell me if i am wrong). ok next, i stepped into my room, the place i will spend the night with for a couple of months before moving out to elsewhere, i was shocked, and admired the beauty of my room, it's gorgeous, in some ways at least, but now i am started to hate it(for some reason i will tell later).

this is little tiny room, yah i know it's very messy, since i didn't have any hangers and whatsoever utensils when i took this pic. sth i can assure, it's now very tidy and neat. do trust me!!!
this is the view i can see from my bedroom, damn nice, sydney tower is just right in front of me. take a look at the second pic, u can see the seaview there, ok, it's not so obvious through pic, but i can see it clearly.

the next thing i had done was signing up for a mobile number, a prepaid number since i knew perfectly well the fact that i couldn't live without phone. everything is so inconvenient when you actually cannot make a call or textmessaging at any place any time. so, yah, i signed up for one, while thinking of signing up for a post-paid number is actually far more better. HOWEVER, i need my student ID, my passport, bank statement and prove of address and so on and so forth which is a very annoying procedure that i decided to use prepaid for the time being. after two weeks of frequent and constant visits to the shop (since there must be something that they needed but i didn't have everytime i went there), i finally got my postpaid number. everyone please mark down or update your phone book if u are still saving down my previous prepaid number. save down my number if you intend to tell me how much you miss me or u want me to tell you how much i miss you otherwise. here it is
+61433036582

next, the food in sydney are served in XL size, or i should say it's L size now since they actually expanded my stomach capacity within these three weeks time. if you are not a great eater (i am considered as a small eater, so u know which category you are in), you can order a serving and take it as lunch and dinner, since it's in a very large portion. it's not exaggerated, it's TRUE!!! Anyway, the food here is nice, seriously, it's damn nice, there is only one thing that i am not happy with--no roti canai and nasi lemak~~~~~so, someone there, please send me nasi lemak and roti canai~~~~oh, i have left out something, Chinese New Year!!!! ok, i am not going to talk about CNY here, i will talk about it only if i have celebrated it!!!!!

Speaking of univeristy life, it sucks, earlier before and also now, i don't like it. i am stressed out and finding it hard to cope with. but anyway, i like my phys lecturer, he is damn funny and hilarious, dun worry, i will talk more about him next time. petroleum engineering is not an easy course, something that i have to tell you. i have to take geology, and undergo industrial training during my third year for 3 months, which sounds pretty much a tough job. ok, lack of info now, i will share again when i know more better.

I MISS MY PARENTS AND FRIENDS!!!!!!!!! how nice if everyone of you is here!!!
