missing home

I MISS HOME SO BADLY
I MISS MESSAGING YOU SO BADLY
I MISS TALKING TO EVERYONE AROUND ME

I MISS MY OLD LIFESTLYE!!

gosh why am I so negative.

I just need someone to talk to
I just need someone to listen

And basically

I just want to go home...

lonely :(

I REALLY WANT TO COME HOME NOW!! LIKE REALLY REALLY!!

I never felt so lonely in such a large crowd. And it's not because I'm not making the effort. I'm really really trying to start conversations and stuff, but no one seems to want to reply. And it's getting so tough. I really want to come home. Back to Singapore, where even staring at my bedroom walls is entertaining.

I miss all my family and friends so badly.

It hasn't even been a week and I'm already struggling to survive....

Oh and btw, if you want my mobile, landline number (which will only start working this sat) and my address, just email me. Yeah

MONICA IS IN MELBOURNE!

WARNING! BELOW IS A RATHER LONG POST. READ AT YOUR OWN RISK.
And people, please tag.

Ok, I’ve finally got internet connection! YAY!! Ok but it’s technically not mine. So it doesn’t really make much of a difference. But at least I get to blog all these up. (oh like that seems to be the most important thing on my mind right now. HAHA)

Friday – the time of tears
All right, I know many of you have heard something about the Monica’s leaving drama. And I also know that most of you don’t even know the full details. So yes, here goes.

As you can see from my previous posts, my flight was supposed to have been at 9am. So I was at the airport at about 6am. Friends and family were all there, expecting me to be leaving soon.

But…


It so happens that Qantas were looking for people to willingly give up their flight. The catch was that they would give me a direct flight (no I didn’t have a direct flight before that) and that they would give us US$400 per person. I mean, which such a good deal, I have no reason to object right. I was in NO hurry to leave Singapore anyway.

So yes, that’s how I ended up flying later. So yes, Monica is officially SUPER SPECIAL/COOL/GREAT, that even her farewell lasted the whole day. Ok. THANK YOU ALL THOSE WHO WERE WITH ME! AND THANK YOU FOR ALL THOSE WHO WERE THERE TO SEND ME OFF, WHETHER MORNING, NIGHT OR BOTH!

Friday/Saturday – Plane ride
Ok I managed to sleep the whole ride and was only awaken during meals. AND SADLY, I woke up just before the plane started descending.

Since my nose was blocked, my ears were hurting like crazy. On top of that, my teeth started hurting! WAHH!!! It was so painful that I started screaming into my pillow. Poor me I know.

Saturday
Skipping the boring details…

I spent the day, mainly getting my phone card. HAHA! Ok wait, DON’T YOU ALL DARE LAUGH! IF NOT I WOULD NEVER CALL YOU! HMPH!!

Oh ya, and I met up with Pam and her friend Jixiang. Ok, this guy knows a lot about FMC, and the people in there too.

Sunday
I went to the church that Uncle Tai Kok attends. It was rather fine I guess. But I was SO TIRED, that I kept dosing off, especially during the long, long prayers. Honestly, I doubt that I would like go back to that church. That’s kinda sad, as the people there were rather friendly.

I spent the rest of the day exploring the city. I went to St Kilda’s beach. (Ok seriously, I seem to be on some sort of holiday. Fine, technically, in a way, I am. But still…)

Then we went to source out a place to treat Mummy’s friends, who so nicely allowed us to stay with them. We ended up eating at the same place where these same friends treated us the last time we were here. And then blah blah blah…

Monday
I checked into my hostel.

WOAHHH! I THOUGHT I WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE MY OWN TOILET! So it’s like a few common toilets around the level. And I feel SO SUA GU (but I shall not say why here. If you want to know, just ask me online.) Ok but the good thing is, that my room is close to TWO toilets. So I’m more or less fine.

And the room was SO WHITE when I entered it. The walls are white, the bed post is white, the table is white, the shelves are white, the two cupboards are white. White, white, white. It was actually blinding. So my dad and I spent the afternoon doing it. Ok, he did most of it. I actually fell asleep half way and my clothes are sort of in a mess. Haha.

I got my student meal card and the way the guy took my photo was SO WEIRD. Like half my forehead is chopped off. Who takes photos like that? Weirdo. Haha. But I must say, they are really nice la. So not so weird anymore. haha.

General
Ok generally I'm fine. The weather is rather siao though. Like really siao. I'll elaborate another time. OH AND I HAVE A CURFEW! ok la. Not say it's bad, because it's at 11. But I thought like, no more curfews. Haha. Ok, not say I'll be out that late anyway. hahaha.

And yeah, I THINK I'm adjusting fine. haha.

Yeah I'll update another time. Photos will come up another time. yeah

Till then :)
MISS YOU ALL SO SO BADLY!!
:)

what's up?

HEY ALL!!

Yeah firstly, PRAISE THE LORD ALL THE RESULTS TODAY!! Haha, ok even though I wish I had done better, but I must say I'm rather glad. For many reasons that I don't want to share right now. Haha.

And secondly, yeah for those who STILL don't know, I'm leaving for Melbourne, to study at Taylors College, in about 6 and a half hours time. Or rather, I'm leaving for the airport then. My flight is at 9am. I'm taking Qantas Airline and will be at the airport at 6am. And if you would be SO NICE as to send me off, I'll be at Terminal 1. Ok I don't know which row number, so you can call me if you need to. Yeah.

And I don't know when I'll have internet access. So ya. You can continue checking my blog for updates on how I am and stuff. Or you can email me. But I cannot promise very regular updates and all, because like, I don't know what kind of internet I'm going to get.

Once I get my address and phone number, I'll like inform you and you can email me for such details. I don't think I want to post such details on such a public site. haha.

Yeah, that's all for now. I'm really going to miss you all A LOT!

Why isn't it sinking in that I'm leaving? Why am I still in denial?!

tomorrow's the big day!! for you

Tomorrow is going to be the big big day for so many. The moment of truth, the slip of paper which would affect your future. Sigh, O levels results will be out tomorrow.

To think that all the studying and all that blah blah, boils down to this moment.

I know you all are like worried because of this, but yeah. RELAX PEOPLE!! I know it's not easy to just sit down there and relax and stuff, but ya, have more faith in yourself. Believe that you can do it!

Remember, that no matter what you get - good or bad, that you should rejoice in the Lord.

BA GUA

MY MUMMY BOUGHT FOR ME BA GUA!! (sp?)

Anyway, you may be thinking like, so what?

Well firstly, my mummy usually doesn't buy such stuff. Like the only time we get to eat it is at my grandparents' places during chinese new year. And secondly, the reason why she bought it, is because she knows I won't be around during chinese new year to eat it.

awwww. I feel so touched. Later when I eat it, I bet it's going to be the best ba gua I ever ate!

Basically, I really touched by what you all are doing for me. And I'm really grateful for all you guys. And so ya, thank you! Just for being there :)

mann

Don't you seem to have those moments when you've so much to say but you just cant talk about it because of so many personal reasons of which some might just sound so absurd?

There've been so many times when I just remain silent but a million thoughts race through my head which really sends me into this whole reflection mood. Sigh.

I have so much to say, really, you have no idea. So much more..

nonsense me

I realised that ever since this Australia thing came about in my life, that I've been super sensitive to everything.

Sigh, nonsense me.

New year resolutions

Ok here are my new year resolutions and goals for the years.
  1. To read the whole bible this year - I failed miserably last year.
  2. To be more sensible and independent - so that my parents won't worry so much
  3. To get a good part time job and save a lot of money (I'll come up with the value another time)
  4. To be hardworking and consistent in my school work - I need/want to do well and never regret

I guess that's all for now. I'll edit this when I think of more..

new year new beginnings

2008 is finally here! WOW!!

So ya, a new year with new beginnings. With 10 years of mg behind me now, I've to embark on the new phase of my life. Honestly, this is kinda scary, and it feels so weird to not be going back to mg. I seriously miss mg.

Ok, and I've an announcement for everyone. Yes, I'll be going to Australia, Melbourne, to study. I'll be attending Taylor's College and will most probably be leaving at the end of the month. I'm going to stay in a hostel because of safety reasons. And I guess that's all the details?

Hmm. Ok, as for now, I don't really have my new year's resolutions ready. But oh well, I'll come up with it soon. I'M SO HAPPY THAT I MANAGED TO SAVE AT LEAST $500 THIS YEAR! haha. And so, this year I shall aim to save more and at a faster rate, so that I can buy tickets to fly back to singapore if necessary or if I can. Yeah.

And to all out there. I'm really going to miss you all like crazy. Sigh. Can't believe this is happening so so fast..

till I decide to edit this..
