FOOD is alwaes on my mind. Just right after this Melbourne trip, I think I cant stop eating.
And Melbourne is so much better than Adelaide. Much more life, at least I see more people. Their city seems livelier. Maybe I shld have chose to be attached in Melbourne instead. But come to think of it, maybe becos there’s someone looking after me, that’s y I feel so much better in Melbourne.

All thanks to poh loo’s sister’s friend, mei hui, who made this trip so much enjoyable. Actually she was like a tour guide who brought us along. At least we did not need to worry about transport, her small mini car, although small but very comfy. We also did not have to think bout what to eat cos she brings us to places with delicious food. Simply in short words, excellent trip, but too short. We shld extended our stay.

First day: sand sculpture. Beautiful and amazing. They don’t look like sculptures made of sand. Then a long ride to Philips island… saw some blow holes, wow the waves they create was magnificent. Then we saw the penguin parade. OMG! The penguins are so tiny. So much smaller than the normal ones. N they are practically very cute. We see them emerge from the sea (mother ones) in groups and slowly walk back to their homes where their baby is waiting for their mother to feed them. Sometimes it’s really sad to see one baby penguin who waited so long for their mother but they did not turn up, maybe becos small big fishes ate them.

2nd day: shopping at DFO, smith street and bridge road. It was all shopping and shopping but we didn buy anything. Haha. But the dinner was fantastic. We had lobster noodles, and some other stuffs. The lobster was a big whole fresh one, which we cant finish. Haha. It was delicious man. Then we went to red box, which was their KBOX. Hahaha. It was like very last min. we sang from 10pm to 3 am. Haha. It was crazy, and it was like singing with meihui’s friends, who are practically strangers. It was kinda weird, but then after a while, it got better. Haha.

3rd day: wanted to look for edmund they all... but since it was too rush, we forgo that. heh! we had dim sum! LOL! Chao shao bao, egg tart, xiu mai.. n more… wahahaha! Food n more food. Then we went to Chinatown. It was a quick shop. Our flight’s at 4pm. We shld really have extended our stay. Im regretting it now… then we bought krispy crème at the airport. Buy 1 get 1 free. Wahahaha! Wanted to buy more, but I think we cant finish them bah. They taste very sweet. I think if we eat more sure will kena diabetes.

Hmm.. actually after that short stay in Melbourne n some brain wash from meihui. It tempts me to migrate to Melbourne when I grow older. It jus seems that their life there is much better, not very stressful and they get good pay. Maybe maybe… but maybe when im left alone in a foreign place, I will wan to return to s’pore.

ok... heat wave has striked adelaide. it is jus so damn hot. but the temp will seem to drop next wed. hopefully...

aniwae im jus so emo this morning. but then i jus got better in the afternoon. but it was kinda wierd. sometimes i just feel that some things does change, esp friendship... dunno in the morning gt alot of gan chu to blog e... but now nvm... no worries. =)

last sun we went to hadndorf famn barn. it was quite nice but the place stinks. saw alot of animals. i love this the most. An aparka, a kind of camel. it is jus so cute and handsome!!!! maybe that's the word to describe it. and i finally saw kangaroos. all were male. so no kangaroos with pouch. we fed them too. their teeth jus scratches against my hand. and i gt scratched. but they are cute too!!! we bottle fed sheeps too. they jus like suck the bottles so vigourously, like some hungry ghost. it was like... cant u wait? then there is this parrot who onli said hello to pohloo, maybe this parrot was like love in first sight with her? haha.

then we went to the strawberry farm too. we hand picked strawberries! they were kinda sweet. nth special though. bought jams... hmmm. nice... i want to visit their chocolate factory! make my own choc, maybe pick some coco then add mint into it, it would become my delicious choc!!! haha!

actualli im kinda slowly in love with the life in aus. dunno why... jus have this feel, i feel much carefree here. but there are times when i feel like returning to s'pore. i gt a dream. when i grow old, i want to travel around the world with my husband. to drive in a caravan and tour around. it would be so nice and freeee... but that would mean hard work now to earn that much, unless i find a rich guy. haha! maybe i cant jus stay put in a place, i need to move around. that's me. n i cant be in trios. i hate trios. i tried accepting trios but it is always hard. maybe that's me.... =)

finally im done with the report. craig wanted 2 pages but i did 5. it was hard to squeeze into 2. he will be back tml. =) he realli have those mo li. jus like last week, i was not realli in a good mood in the morning, but i had to look for him. so i was like waiting for him in his office, n i laid on the cupboard. when his done, he told me to wake up when im not sleeping. then he asked if i was sleepy, i said no. then he gave me a puzzled look. then he asked me strange qns which he normally doesnt ask.

our conversation...

craig: how long have u been here?
me: 1 month
craig: oooooh, so long? so i've given u 3 grades?
me: no.... 2. pause... oh ya, im here almost to a month...

silence...

craig: u shld be bored with tea tree plaza. (a shopping mall near our hostel)
me: yes. (i was too moody to actualli talk to him. haha.)
craig: u shld have shopped all the shops there i think.
me: ya. (when i have not.)

then i think he sensed smth wasnt rite...

craig: feeling home sick?
me: ya. (actualli im not. so he was thinking im thinking of home when that was not the reason of me being moody.)
craig: how big is ur family?
me: huh?
craig: how mani siblings?
me: jus a younger brother.

haha... and i realli gt better after he talked to me! LOL! but todae since he wasnt around, my mood was not very good the whole morning. haha. but still there were times im afraid of him...

COOL~
im turning tanned. haha.

aniwae tml is a public holiday for adelaide! so it means OFF DAY!!! they have something called Adelaide Cup. i was thinking like that also gt holiday. then next tues and wed my supervisor will not be around!!! haha! he will be in Brisbane for some meeting. so it's like no one to supervise me but he gave me work to do. a short report no more than 2 pages. n the format he gave me seems like it requires more than 2 pages. OMG! OITP also need to do report, but he say this report is for me to organise my data....

aniwae i said we want to visit Craig's house but in the end we did not. his going to brisbane but he said next time. hope he means it. the shopping malls in adelaide almost all the same. i've gotten sick of them. last week we went to belair national park and gt ourselves lost in the park. n the park was like onli filled with botak trees. n they all looked the same. it was also scotching hot. we were both hungry and thirsty, it was like in a game of survivor. in the end pohloo n i went to knock on the door of an australian family to get directions and to get WATER! haha. they were kind enough to help us. =) this actualli made me change my mindset on them being racist against asians. i do have such thinking when i first stepped into adelaide. maybe it was only minority of them hu are...

tml we will be heading down the cleland wildlife park. the temp is damn high though. after many experiences, we will be bringing tonnes of food and water over. haha. =)

n maybe i was thinking it was still better if i did not go for OITP. it's not because of the work, but the way i had to socialise and live with people. maybe im jus not used to it... i dun actualli quite like 3 people going out or doing things together. it's like someone will bound to be left out. we can never split ourselves up to entertain everyone. even if we are in 3s, sometimes i jus feel like leave me out, let me be alone, cos i sometimes cant bear to see the other person being left out. maybe i've gone through alot of trios that made me sick of it... it would always be better to be in even numbers.... nvm... jus another month left...=)

im not used being in australia. i always tot im in an asian country until i see these ang mos walk past. i've nv tot of going to australia... shld have gone to shanghai instead. xiao zhu's going over like twice this month... always have no fate...

today was a terrible day.

maybe becos of monday blues? everything doesnt seem to be smooth...
work todae wasnt good either.
Craig was having a talk from 9 am to 5 pm and forgot to assign me with task, so i was slacking which was not a good thing. nothing to do... it's jus so bored.

onli until his lunch break he came to look for me... it was much better. we asked him a strange qn. haha! "can we visit ur house this sunday?" LOL! we want to see how an australian house look like. haha. n he was like shy? he said "see if WE have any plans on that day." that we... refering to his wife bah. haha. i hope he agrees to it, n i hope he dun forget we asked him this qn. his rather forgetful...

aniwae im not very happy with a group of ppl. i cant like directly say out what it is about, but i so wanna blog it out, so very contridicting.
i jus feel that we are jus being treated like a puppet. it's like we are being made use of. i hate this feeling n i want to stop it. i am going to end it next week. jus 1 more week n it's done. the final result might not be meaningful but i jus cant let myself suffer for the sake of others... i cant say much more...

i can jus say 8 characters dont match.
lalalalalala~ jus treat that im crapping...

my hp has SU8- 10 on it. OMG!
