I've Been Cheated

I've been waiting so long for that sunrise which failed to appear. This is the first time in Melb that I actually sit by the window since 6, excluding the times I was getting ready.

And no sunrise.

I've been cheated!! Ok more updates on Melb later. I better leave before I miss my train. Now that won't be very pleasant. Haha. Toodles.

Time Check

17 more hours till my flight.
And I can't sleep right now.
Part of me is experiencing my pre-flight jitters
Another part is super excited
And finally, another part of me don't really want to leave

I honestly don't find this flying up and down easy
Travelling to a different country for education can be very weary, emotionally
Don't get me wrong, I think I'm really blessed to be able to study in Australia

Oh well. I should attempt to go and sleep
I'll really miss my family (especially my grandparents and my immediate family)
And all my friends.

This is when 2009 really begins

If there's anything that I've learned from last year, is that life isn't as dull as we make it out to be. Life, to me, is somewhat like an adventure. True, there are going to be setbacks that I may not like, but ultimately, things work out. I may face struggles and obstacles along the way, and at the end of the day, God provides a way out of it, and I come out learning something new.

2 more days left in Singapore.

That is when the real adventure begins. A whole year of learning new things, learning how to overcome certain 'difficulties' and a whole year of freedom!

I am OH SO EXCITED!!!

And I want to thank You for always providing for me. Though I get impatient when things aren't happening the way I want it to be, and I think all is over (yes I can be a drama queen). But ultimately, You still provide a way. So ya, thank You Lord.

For those who want to know

They Are Just Mean, Disgusting, Loud, Scary...

It's 6.30am in the morning and I am up. Ridiculous. You all are most probably going to be pure evil and laugh over it, but whatever. I'm going to type it and hopefully staring at the computer screen will make my eyes tired enough for me to get back to bed.

I was awoken by this stupid bird chirping (it's not even like nice chirping. It was mean and disgusting and annoying and I HATE BIRDS!) on my window still. And it was so darn loud I thought it was in my room. And I heard joey (my dog) scratching my door, which confirmed that the bird wasn't part of my dream. It was really that close. And I was thinking, crap, my windows are opened so wide, the bird could be in my room for all I knew. So like a little kid scared of ghost, I hid under my blanket, away from that nasty bird and I was desperately trying to find my phone. I was planning on calling the house to get someone to open my door and let Joey scare the bird and to make sure the bird wasn't in my room, while I hide. But apparently I left my phone outside. -.- Of all days. So as the bird got louder, I got more scared and eventually I opened my door and jumped out of bed and let Joey scare the bird away. And it was kinda bright outside so I thought maybe it was about 7 (how would I know that these silly birds were up so early) I had to go outside and get my mum and brothers to check my room and make sure that bird didn't come in.

And now, I can't sleep. But I know if I don't sleep now, I'll get cranky at work later, due to lack of sleep. Then again, maybe I should just stay up and watch tv. Nahh. Ok, going to have another attempt in falling back asleep.

Please no more birds. I hope they all just die.

..

11 more days and I'm having such mixed feelings. I remember how when I first came back to Singapore how I couldn't wait to go back to Melbourne. Now I kinda don't really want to go back, but at the same time, I'm kinda excited to start uni. I really don't know how people do it all the time. This whole flying up and down thing is not easy, physically and emotionally, and even mentally.

Today my dad was telling me that I should be prepared for a point in my life whereby most of my friends would have moved on, and talking to them wouldn't be as easy as it is now. And it kinda scared me. And I really wonder, 10 years down the road, who will I still be catching up with? Who are the friends that I'll totally lose contact with? Man. I so don't want that day to come. Like never ever.

Ok that's all I have for now.

I Just Want To Be A Kid Again

Growing up is not easy. Now with the added responsibilities and stuff, it's really not easy. I'm stressed. My emotions have been on a rollarcoaster. So many decisions to be made. Life is really not as simple as it used to be.

Everything is just so trying for me. A test of faith, patience, self control... It never ends.

Kids. Carefree. Having that awesome child-like faith. No need to worry about anything.

How I wish I could be a kid again.

I was lazy to scan in another photo, so I just used the one from my friendster. I know, I'm so adorable.

OMG

I was doing my routine check on theage.com.au regarding the weather. And OMG, it hit 46.4 degree Celsius today in Melbourne.

Oh the horror!

And sadly, quite a number of people have died because of the bush fires and stuff like that. Oh please let the weather start to cool down now.

Ok I'm too lazy to find the other links of the other articles that I've been reading. But the point is, OMG!!! And I heard that we have to undergo water rationing.

Oh the horror!!

This Is My New Reality

When I was younger, I always thought that I would stay in Dairy Farm till the day I get married. I imagined my parents staying here like forever, and I would bring my kids back here. And as they run through the corridors, I would share with them the precious memories this condo held for me. I would go, 'Yes, this was mummy's room.'

That was all once upon a time.

Things are going to be so different. Ever since 2007, my brothers and I got the idea that the chances of this place being our home forever was really slim. Well, unless we become millionaires at this very moment. Now with the Australian PR, and people viewing the house (which I tell you, is not very pleasant, but sadly, has to be done), our days left here are like numbered. And me being sentimental, well, can't believe that after all my life (so not counting the time I was in TOAB), that we have to leave this place.

And as much as my sentimental side is wishing so hard that we would never have to sell this place, my 'matured' side has to step in and constantly remind myself that this is for the better.

Sigh, hope I don't have to say goodbye soon. I remembered being utterly destroyed when my parents were going to sell the first car. Soon it's going to be the house.

I so won't mind being a millionaire now.

New Countdown

Before this gets too out of hand, my dad changed my flight. So my flight has now been postponed. I am now flying off on the 21st of Feb, Sat.

So new countdown.

I have 19 more days till I fly off.

Countdown

I just really feel like blogging, and I really have nothing to blog about. And hence I'll do Delicia's favourite past time. Counting down till I leave.

I have 10 more days.

Must spend it wisely.
