Unbelievable

Perth's hailstorm on 23rd March 2010...

then...

Adelaide's 3.8 earthquake measured 3.8 on the Richter scale at 11.27pm on 16th April 2010..

Me myself felt the tremor when I was using my lappie..

The tremor only lasts for few secs..some felt it some did not..

Isnt this cool? Not the year and the month..It's Adelaide's view..
Mr V linked this to me..

Perth and Adelaide experienced these catastrophe..

Not hoping to know who's up next...

Completion..

2010-04-08T16:08:00.002+09:30

Finally received my cert on completion of the diploma course after three semesters..

Should I say that it is VERY generous of the school to send it in

with *2* copies of transcripts..

or to say that the school wants to remind me how UNWELL my results were..

How I wish I can turn these diploma certs into bachelor degree certs..

Another 2 1/2 years to go..*sigh*

Anyways, I am glad to receive them..

I am officially on 2 weeks break after my 50 minutes lecture tomorrow..

Am absolutely looking forward to this 2 weeks off..

Hopefully can utilized this break well enough..

Off to work..;)

Hi all..I am back with my first 2010 post..

Really cant believe that I left my blog dead for months..
*I don't think I am a qualified blogger yet*..ahakz

Well, let's start off with January 2010..

January has been slacked for me..

All I have done was just working 3 days per week and attending 2 days class..

In short, I wasted my time here..should have taken 2 semesters instead of 3..

I submitted my final assignments for the course right on the day i left for Malaysia..

as usual..I am a lazy bump..doing things at very last minute..

Thanks Mr J for the pick up from the airport and the dinner treat..
Thanks for the wonderful gifts!!

Appreciate it..
Sorry to those I did not contact during my transit in KL..at least I called to say HI??

February 2010 - *Brief Highlights*

1. Home Sweet Home for 17 days

2. Spent most of the time with family and friends

3. Chinese New Year was awesome

4.I met Mr E 3 times a week

5. Juliana's Graduation in Perth

6. My first night out to Metros with Denise, Jhuan, KetVui & Cousins

March 2010

March has not been well settled till now..

I had problems with Uni transfer and stuff..

FYI, I have got the offer to transfer to Curtin with the same course
but the school fees are way too much for me personally

My current uni charged me $41,875 for 3 years course..but Curtin wanted $90,300
YES!! $90,300...is a two fold??

Did not take up the offer due to the cost and would love to settle here in Adelaide..
UniSA did not fix my time table till week 3 and had problem with my tutor..

Catch up with Mr G with something personal of his..Happy for you!
Congratulations and keep it going! Keep me updated kak!

Miss J complaint that I do not care about her anymore..I do care ok?
Regarding the hailstorm in Perth..Didnt know was that serious..
UWA library's got flooded...
The Chai sisters' car's windscreen got smashed with the ice cubes..
I hope things are alright now..The world is changing..
Weird weathers..catastrophe..

On the 25th was the graduation ceremony for my completion of Diploma of Health Sciences
I did not attend but hopefully the school is going to send my certificate over..

What did I do on the 27th March?

Sent a text msg to my buddie..Miss V (B)..It s her big day..
She's 21 this year officially! Bet good friends were around to celebrate! Hope she had fun..

Back to the old days, we were close..perhaps things changed..
No matter that's a ME thing U thing or a WE thing..
Hope we can catch up when we see each other next time..

I would love to wish you, V, all the best in the years ahead..still love U!

I did not participate for the EARTH HOUR event..
Friend of mine had a post birthday party in the hostel..
They said wasn't a good idea to do so..

365th day of 2009

2010-01-06T18:26:00.024+10:30

I hope 2010 has started well for everyone out there. .
Nothing much happened here lately...
Sorry for the late update!
The internet connection was so unstable here in the residence..
so does the 3 mobile broadband..even worst!! arghhh...

How I spent my new year s eve??
I spent it here right in Adelaide for the very first time and..
I spent it with special companies..
Unexpected ones i should say..=X

Went down to the city around 5 p.m. ..
It was 41 degrees out there..burning hot..
Climbed up stairs to reach here..
Wonder why there is no lift access
I know i know..
I shall not complain but i really cannot stand the heat out there..

SkyCity, Adelaide's casino for buffet dinner..
A weird place to dine?
Was last minutes decision as most of the places were fully booked
FYI, this is the most expensive meal I have ever paid for..
AUD$55 for the first round of the night
Second round costs AUD$90 per person which goes over till midnight ..
Ngek ngek ngek..That s what we called New Year Eve's dinner..

We were seated on table #23..Lucky number??? Who we????

CoCo & Benson

Mr Bo & Grace

Evana

The dining area itself..Love the balloons..

We have the salad bar

Hot food

Desserts

Biggest fish served I have ever seen
You must be wondering why we have to pay AUD$55 for this buffet...
* Jeng jeng *
Because we have..
-
-

The oysters

The prawns

and crabs... There goes my $55..

The crowd started to fill in the seats
My first serve

Benson & Mr Bo were trying very hard to communicate with each other Cantonese vs Mandarin

Grace and myself Chit chat and ate non stop..
Since it s too early to countdown.. We went for 3 hours Karaoke session

Me..Me..Me..
After the session, we made our way down to Elder Park for the countdown session..
The crowd there really gave me a shock..
Heaps of them..Uncountable...
Cool bands were singing on stage..
We visited stalls selling glow sticks, snacks and etc
just to kill the time while waiting for the fire works..

Overheard the conversation below....

*******************************************************************

A: Sir, would you like to get a rose for your girlfriend??

B: Sorry mate, I would love to but I got no cash with me..

A: Not even a dollar??

B: I've got them in my credit card...

A walked away..annoyed..

*********************************************************************

Pity the guy who had to walk around the whole park selling roses on NYE..

Anyways..the countdown as usual came along with fire works..
which lasts for 15-20 minutes..cool huh??

No photos for that..
Camera went out of battery..
plus the camera took blurry pictures at night..
arghhh..Sony oh Sony..

Anyways, here are some of the highlights of year 2009...

1. I 'm away from home for about 10 months to pursue my tertiary studies here in Adelaide

2. I've not seen my parents through pictures or webcam for the past 10 months

3. I've experienced summer, winter, autumn and fall for the very first time

4. I survived the hottest day, 43 degrees and coolest day, 5 degrees

5. I've got myself a part time job that supports my current expenses

6. I've not played badminton for more than 10 times

7. I celebrated my 20th birthday here in Adelaide

8. I've got new scars...

9. I've started blogging..not very active tho.. and the list goes on..

I must say that 2009 has been one of the greatest years

BUT

I know 2010 is definitely gonna be better ..

Looking forward for the new start coming after my trip back from Malaysia

I'm counting down officially..

^^

He's Back!!!!

2009-12-29T22:38:00.007+10:30

It's another 2 days to the end of year 2009..

What am I doing and where am I now?

I have my hands on my assignment and I am still stuck in Adelaide..sad huh??

I have to get them done a.s.a.p..

I wanted to enjoy my first new year celebration here in Adelaide...

Back to the topic..Who's back???

If you know me well..Bet u know I heart JJ Lin a lot..

He's BACK..with his 7th album released on the 18th Dec 2009 ..

*100 Days*

If you are a big fan of JJ as well.. You must have heard that

He suffered from vocal cord injuries ..

He lost his voice and couldnt make a sound in front of 30,000 fans

in his concert at Beijing's Worker Sports Complex..

"At the time, I felt it was the end of the world and thought I could never sing again. I was in complete despair. That night felt 100 days long."
And thus the title of this album 100 days.

I believe there is always ups and downs for every singer not just him..

Glad that He can recover in short period of time and

I hope his album is good enough to win his fans heart back..

I am not back in Malaysia yet so I cannot support him OFFICIALLY..

yet I downloaded FEW of them cuz I cant wait till I get back..

I would love to get a copy of his album as a New Year present

if anyone of you are generous enough..!! =X

Track list

Have been constructing the list what should I get..
Had fun shopping with them..
2 nods as an approval to get the stuff I wanted to get..

To and fro for 3 times..
As if telling them..'The swings are ours..'
ROLF..

Stuck-ed

2009-11-10T15:26:00.004+10:30

Hi all!! I left my blog dead again for the past month..
I am stucked with a lot of stuff..

First of all, FRIENDSHIP...then academic stuff..then myself..

Past month has been very tough for me..
A lot of things happened yet not enough time for me to share it here tho..
Involves a bit of this n that n personal matters too..

The latest issue I am concerned about is my academic..I am not pretty sure whether you guys out there did know I did not do well in my A-Level..
it s just FYI..
n I ended up in SAIBT, Adelaide doing Diploma of Health Science..

I am expected to be graduating from Diploma of Health Science Feb 2010..then direct entry into year 2 in Bachelor of Health Science..
Yet there is something that makes me think..whether a degree in Health Science is good enough to secure me a job in the health industry later on..

Talked a lot to friends, academic director and even my lecturers..
They reckon me to go for Nursing which can take me further..

I know..i know..What are you guys thinking out there..Nursing??
I am sure u guys are yelling big 'NOs'..
Close friends out there know that i bumped into this situation before..
Now again..a year after..

I am always indecisive..Indecisive about my future..what I like to do..what is good for me ..and so on..It s very hard for me to make decisions..this is a really BIG decision which affects a lot of things..n I believe this is the last chance for me to decide my future career..
I listed out the pros and cons of each degree..
Yet left undecided...

2 offers in my hand now..A YES or a NO..

Arghhh..Running out of time..i need advice..i need guidance..

Someone please tell me what to do??

Woke up 8.30 a.m. this morning ..Early huh?

Wanted to train myself to wake up as early as possible because afraid of not able to do so when the semester begins again..

Weather was so so nice..Blue sky plus a bit windy..

Went to city today around 12 plus..
Met up with MiMi for Japanese food at Adelaide Arcade..
We ordered ourselves Egg Plant set lunch..$9.50 each..
My first try..It was not bad..but a bit oily...~~
**Too busy eating..No photos were taken..**

Walked around the city for the whole afternoon..
Went to the student accommodation office with MiMi..
To pay $20 for the after hours services charges..My oh My..
Proceed to Uni to get my official receipt for the tuition fees..
Went to the computer pool to check on the student portal..
SO SO SO happy with my statistics exam results..woohoo..=)

Went for window shopping somewhere at Myer and David Jones..
End up at CIBO, Rundle Street..
Met Chris and Christine..the doctor couple..
Gonna graduate in 6 weeks time and start working officially as a doctor very soon in Melb if I am not wrong..Same hospital..Cool huh..
MiMi ordered herself a cappucino..Chit chat session lasted for an hour..

Walked to Woolworths..MiMi wanted to get some groceries..
Claimed that she has been a very good to her Italian boy fren..
Made him dinner for almost a week..Envy the boy fren pls..
Surprised me that the Italian boy fren loves Chinese food..Will not get sick of it..

Good day ended up with Korean food at Han Kuk Kwan with Pi Give and Pi Bok..
Had dinner especially to catch up with Pi Bok who moved to uni lodge one week back..
Claimed that he is very lonely without company..
Only gets his mouth opened every night 9.00pm sharp talking on skype with his gf..
Poor Pi Bok..
Enjoyed the chit chat session and the nice food tho..=)

Highlight of the day:
Pi Give and I ran 2 streets just to catch the bus heading back home..

BBQ cum Rock 'n' Roll

2009-10-05T13:10:00.011+10:30

Had last minute planned BBQ at Civic Park yesterday..TVIR style..

Thai bros and sisters went to the market early morning around 10a.m...I didint join as I need my sleep..Lazy..plus buying BBQ stuff do not need 9 people to go ryte..
*to make myself feel better*..

Gathered at 4th floor while waiting for the others to come..Friends' friends.. Everyone was quite uncertain whether we can use the BBQ area at the park as Pi toey saw lots of people in the park when they went out earlier on..

We walked to Civic Park around 3.30p.m...saw a huge crowd and bumped into this..
Display Courtesy of..
Wanderers
Rock n Roll Car Club..
www.wanderers.org.au
Very excited with these classic cars..except the big Hyundai in the front.. I think there's around 100 of them..and owned by the crowd ..

But before that, have to set up everything at the BBQ site.. not the BBQ we used to have in Malaysia tho..

Emily

Sausages..prawns..yum yum..

Chef of the day..Nong Mac and Pi Give..

Pi Aom

Samantha and friends

Group photo

After the filling lunnier..lunch+ dinner..we went to have a look at the cars and the booths..

Do car lovers like them also? or just the modern oneS? These classic ones has their own value in the market i guess..They are well taken care of..n the engines are still in good condition..
I think the owners used a lot of money to maintain the car..inside out..

*Photos uploaded are just part of it..You can view my facebook for more pictures*..

Here comes the best part of the whole evening..

Jeng Jeng ...

The band..singing 70s songs..Heart the atmosphere..

People at the dance floor..They can dance very well =)

Bet the parents gonna love it..hahahhaa

Our makan session ends around 6.30p.m. yet the sky is still bright..

Thanks to the weather for such nice Sunday..

Busyness..

2009-09-15T19:31:00.012+09:30

Hey people! It s been a while since my last post..So sorry for the late updates! Been very very busy with uni life.. A quick update for the last 10 days..
Let's start with my recent part time job..I am currently a ....

so called Match Maker for Mr Ivan and Miss Pearl..
If you read my previous posts before..I am pretty sure you guys know who are they..
Anyways, Ivan is my floor mate whereas Pearl is my *bestie* ..
Been meeting them up for few times and today is the first time both of them going out together without me..aka..the BULB..They are still having dinner now i guess..somewhere at China Town..Hope that Ivan will perform good enough to impress Pearl..=X..Mr L called the other day..unexpected call i should say.. and I talked to him about my current part time job..He said that I cari pasal..True also ..He got his point but I have already have one leg stepped in..So i do not mind having my another leg in..Ho Ho Ho..
Confused huh? Alryte..Enough of love story..

Went to the annual Adelaide Royale Show last Wednesday with my course mates..All Hong Kies..So cantonese continues again..I was in a very tight budget throughout the month as I over spent for shopping purposes..that s why I only played one of the machine game and was the bag carrier most of the time..I was trying my luck to win myself a HUGE Husky..unfortunately unable to so..Anyways we had fun at the show! =D

Had an appointment with Studio2*** for the FREE photo shoot that i've won last Thursday..I checked that out until I found out that is not that I've won..but it s a tactic that the studio used to earn money..Few of my friends got them too..They gave you the free photo shoot..Free make up and stylist .. Made an appointment and let u see the results of touched photos..They want customers to buy the package but it costs from $200 - $5000..FYI..A 3R photo costs u $200..Anyways i did show up at the photo shoot..and got myself photographed..Now i knew that Modeling is NOT an easy job..The posing part especially..HARD ! Going for the coming appointment to see the photos on this Thursday ..
But that will be a SUPER BIG NO ... for me to buy the photos!

The rest of the weekend was just alright.. Had my so called part time job and busy with the poster presentation stuff..

I got back my assignments yesterday..Was satisfied with them..
Done with Prostate Diseases presentation and scored 20/30..
The group with the highest score is 22.25..WTH is that with 0.25? Stingy huh the lecturer..
Finally, I am officially done with 11 weeks of 8 hours lecture straight on Monday..
Congrats me pls! Ho Ho Ho..

Hands back to work now..
Have to prepare for the poster presentation that worth 30% of Human Physiology 2..
Good luck mates!
Good luck to me also! =D

Saturday afternoon..Ivan drove me to pick up Pearl from her place to this Vietnamese restaurant for beef noodles..My first time to try out Ivan's driving skills..

Increased!!

2009-08-27T16:24:00.008+09:30

It's thursday! And I am done with week 9 which means I am one week closer to the exam week..Have been revising but I cannot get anything into my head..and I feel like traveling..Perth, Melb, Bris or maybe Sydney?
But I do not have sufficient money with me..Aihh..

Last July, the bus tickets price have increased..The peak time tickets (red)..increased from $13.80 to $14.40 whereas the inter-peak time tickets (black) increased from $7.30 to $7.60..10 trips per ticket..One ticket only lasts me for one and a half week..EXPENSIVE?!

Yesterday, I received this....

Letter from the reception stating that the room rental is going to increase coming JAN 2010..again INCREASE!! This really makes me feel like moving out..But should I ? Should not? DILEMMA !!!

PROS staying at TVIR

1. $135 (current) includes electricity, water, gas and papers

2. Friends for the past 6 months

3. Tea Tree Plaza right opposite the residence

CONS staying at TVIR

1. Traveling takes me 50 minutes EVERYDAY!

2. Shared bathrooms with the other 35 residents (eWwW..)

3. Does not make me feel homey..

3 VS 3..Someone tell me what to do? PLS?

Currently..I am ...

memorizing these two double sided papers of MENU and PRICE LIST..I am off for training at this outlet in the food court tmr..If i passed the training tmr..I am in..HURAAYS..Part time work..I wonder how much I am paid for this..Does not really matter as long as I am earning!!
Wish me luck people!! =D

Continues with Korean Drama..Coffee Prince
An old one i guess..I have no idea..
Just wanna have something that keep me at home instead of going out..

Introducing Pearl.. She can sing really well. .喜帖街?

Me..EHEH.. Singing..

Another one ..

Met up with MiMi to go to her friend's Henna exhibition.. I was excited about the exhibition although i am not a big fan of art but i did one henna tattoo on my leg before. .It's a lizard and it was awesome. .That was in Perth when i went to the Fremantle Sunday Market 6 months back. .We were waiting for bus to get to Unley in front of the AFL store. .Pearl managed to get herself 2 + 1 sushi before the bus came..

Henna Arts by Humna Mustafa. .She's a pretty married lady..
She was too busy talking to her friends who attended and i did not managed to take her photo.. Most of her friends were the models of the day with very
nice Henna tattoo on their hands..Even the guys had it.. Envy!

Pearl and MiMi served with champagne..

Candle holder with Henna art were all over the backyard..me like..

One of the most expensive Henna art in the exhibition..costs around AUD$1500..

Henna bowls for sale! AUD$30 each..

Cards..AUD$10..

I'm not sure whether this is for sale..but this is gorgeous!

MiMi..

Huge crowd..

Me and Pearl..almost got suffocated because of the small place with huge crowd..

Pearl looking at the bus time table.. We took the bus back to city around 7 p.m..

Pearl and Me while waiting for the bus..

MiMi claimed that she was hungry and would
like to have chips at the Nando's..

My first visit to the Nando's
*Portugese Flame-grilled Chicken*

The menu..

Pearl talking to MiMi. Both of them were paying attention to the guys next table. Macho guys of course. After minutes of 'listening' to the guys' conversation, they came to a conclusion that those guys are Brazilian. In fact, Pearl and MiMi cannot understand a single word they said..
Cool huh?

Serviettes..

Peri-Peri Sauce..

After Nando's, we walked around Rundle Mall and Pearl got her FCUK tee which costs her AUD$29.95 featuring 4 words on the tee..
No FCUK ing worries..hahaha..=X!

Me like the bag..=D

Pearl decided to go home and left MiMi and I at Rundle Street. .Thus, MiMi and I went to CIBO at Rundle Street for second round to kill the time while waiting for her boyfriend to get her to go to Daniel's mini concert.. Pearl came back to join us instead because she missed the bus. .I did not intend to order anything but was not able to resist myself from..

My Mango + Coffee Ice cream..

MiMi's cappuccino..

Pearl with her Chocolate ice cream..

Hang out with them till 9.40p.m. and left for home instead of going to Daniel's mini concert..
Heard from Pearl that Daniel who is only 20..not only looks good but very talented in playing musical instruments..Pearl *drooled*..Ngek! Wish I was there to see how good he is!

INSOMNIA?

2009-08-20T03:28:00.003+09:30

It's already 3.35 a.m. and I am still here sitting in front of my laptop blogging. I am having difficulties staying asleep for the past 5 days. . I am so frustrated when I couldn't fall asleep. .I have been forcing myself to get on bed very early but this has the reverse effect. .I can stay up rolling on the bed till the next morning. . Tell me that I'm alright? Someone? I have this feeling that my brain doesn't wanna stop working but in fact there is nothing much to be worried about. .Things were going on alright for the past days..What is bothering me so much? I really have no idea and me myself can't explain why am I getting through this. .Phew..HARD days..! INSOMNIA..please go away.. you can take your MC..n stop bothering me..please?! Arghh...Trying to get some rest now..

Signing off. No yawns.

Postponed Outing

2009-08-20T00:12:00.001+09:30

I was trying to get this posted in Uni because the line is way too good compared to my 3 Mobile Broadband thingy at home. Only then i realized i cannot do anything with the photos as in arranging them in orders. Why?
I WAS thrilled one moment.. upset then..Anyways, here it goes!

It's been a while since I hang out with my floor mates at my residence besides the poker and drink night. We mentioned times about going out together but we never make it due to our own business. We decided to go for dinner then singing session last Saturday night. We took the bus from the city to this Chinese Hot Pot Restaurant (forgot what's the name) in Hindley Street.

US!!..( Left side: Pi Toey, Bok, Ivan and Me)

( Right side: Pi Aom, Pi To, Pi Mon, Aemi and Cherry)

Most of them are Thais. FYI, why names with Pi?
( Pi= to address older bro/sis in Thai).
We also have Chinese and Japanese as well.

We ordered food once we settled down. We ticked whatever is in the list since it was a buffet hot pot and Pi Mon and Aemi have been claiming that they were hungry since before we came out. However, it takes us 45 minutes waiting. 30 minutes for the food and 15 minutes for the soup to come.

Stove without the hot pot..There's one waiter..NEW i guessed..So sloppy that he had the stove slipped from his hands and hit Pi Mon's head! I bet it was really painful..her eyes gone red with tears..The main thing is that He just stood there, stunned, and apologized after minutes!
Woo hoo..this is what we called service!

Ladies..

Guys..

Cherry and Pi Give..

Ivan..

Food..after waiting for half an hour!

Eating non stop after waiting for 45 minutes!!

Pi Mon!! Just got her Master degree few days back! Beautiful..isn't she?

Half way through..

Photo session while the guys were still eating..

Pi Aom..

We continued with singing session after the hot pot dinner. However, no photos were taken because my camera was out of battery right after this photo.. We sang for two hours but most of the time I was the song selector..Ngek! We paid $77 per hour..so so so expensive!
It was alright then because there were 12 of us..

The guys stayed back for the soccer match at one of the bars. Ivan was the only guy with the ladies. The ladies wanted to get Gelato before heading back home. I got myself green tea + mango. .Weird huh? Having ice cream midnight.. Took bus N3 and got off at Tea Tree Plaza.. Walked all the way back home..showered and had my good night sleep..!

bU Fashion Parade

2009-08-17T21:55:00.034+09:30

Last Friday afternoon, I went to the Chest Clinic right opposite

the Royal Adelaide Hospital to get my medication.
I already had them for the past 3 months everyday and I'm sick of it.
Now, i need to take them for the next 2 months!

My medication. One tablet from the left bottle and 3 tablets from the right bottle everyday.

Later in the evening, met up with Tiffany and we took a bus from the city to Paradise Community Church for

bU Fashion Parade 2009!

This fashion parade is the biggest fashion show ever in South Australia which features design collections from high up fashion stores and boutiques across South Australia. bU fashion parade showcased over 100 models showing upcoming spring collections of men's, women's and children's fashion. Tickets are on sale for $10 at the door. This event was advertised on TV almost daily for weeks!

We were told to get there early in order to get some nice seats as there will be a large crowd. In fact, we got there around 6.21p.m..We thought it would be too early but..

there's already a long queue outside the main hall! LADIES!!

Tiffany..while waiting..

After waiting for another half an hour, finally, the security opened the main entrance. All the ladies rushed into the hall and book themselves nice seats.
We did not know where to sit thus end up sitting at the left side of the runway.

Us...

Tiffany with the Wish List..

More and more people coming in..

Pastor Jane Evans..MC of the night..

Just at the beginning of the show, she has been giving out gift vouchers to the audience with conditions..Unfortunately we did not able to grab any of them..

The stage with stunning frames..

Models..

Fashion..Hair..Make up..

Sexy backs!

I like the runway!

CUTE!!! =D

Adorable children!!

Tiffany: SHOESSSS..!!

The fashion show ended with models walking down the stage to give out gift vouchers to the audience for the second round..It was 10p.m. by then..We left right after the show ended..It was so cold outside as we walked to the Paradise Interchange to get our own bus back home..
It was my first ever fashion show and we had fun that night!

The New Chapter

2009-08-16T18:21:00.000+09:30

Gidday Mate!! That's the first greeting i get almost everyday! This is my first time writing a blog and I decided to do so is because i would love to write about my away-from-home life in Adelaide, Australia. Currently, I am a Diploma of Health Science student in SAIBT, UniSA. This is my 6th month being away from home. This is totally different from my 1 and a half year A-Level course in Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia as I have no family members or relatives around me. This time i get to be independent and start everything from ZERO. Adelaide has been treating me good for the past 6 months and I found similarities between Adelaide and my hometown, Sandakan. It's quiet and it's like home. In other words, there is nothing much here and I think this is a good place for education. Ngek! That's all for now! Btw, it's only 10 degrees now and very windy!Winter makes me love and hate at the same time..but spring is coming soon!Toddles!

Cheers,

Evana
