Was in the plane for 6.5 hours from Singapore to Adelaide.My butt was so painful and because I couldn't sleep,I was really tired.But when the plane landed in Adelaide airport,excitement just exploded in me.


It was real advanture for me as I settled here alone(I flew alone,not even with any friends)


My hostel



My room


The stairs up to my room....



The path to my room...




Those 2 pics are scenaries from my window....

Adelaide city
Went to a lot of places....Even visited my own uni,uni South Australia and uni Adelaide....


The bus stop outside my hostel...




Look!!Piggy in the city!!.....ahhh....it's just a statue...=P



There are many stalls in the city that sells fresh salad,yogurt and fruits....they are very cheap there as the locals eat a lot of these....they sell yogurt like selling ice creams.....choose your flavor and they'll scoop it in a cup for u.....

My yogurt....it's 3.50$.....well....I ask for a small 1 but it's quite alot....yummy...


My Uni

Exam hall!!Scary....



Look carefully.....spotted anything?no?



Allowed to bring drinks and snacks into the exam hall during exams!!!(This is the 1st time in my life that I heard of this kind of exam rules)



U see these paintings hanging in the uni wall.....






I won't be blogging so often from now on as I'm starting uni tmr onwards and internet connection here is horrible.....So.....yeap...that's about it.Cheers.

All set for a new advanture!!!

People have been asking me how's my year so far and I always reply them that I haven't begin year 2009.That's because for the past 3 months,I've been doing absolutely nothing.....except for being busy with uni stuff.Apart from that,it was paradise all the way.(If you have read my previous blog,u'll know)


I'm about to kick start my year.Tomorrow,I'll be leaving my beloved family,friends and Penang for Adelaide.It's gonna be a real new advanture for me,going to a new place,new environment.To be honest, I kinda miss studying now.....I can't wait!


I know going there will not be easy.Father said I need to work part time to help reduce the financial burden on him because in 2 years time,my brother will be going to uni too.I don't know how am I gonna do it,whether I can cope with my studies or not is another question.I'm really out of my comfort zone when I'm there.


I'm excited.I'm nervous.I can't wait to go there yet,I don't wanna be out of my comfort zone so soon.I'm having mix feelings and emotions at the moment.


I'll definitely miss:
  1. My family
  2. My friends
  3. My electric guitar
  4. My bed
  5. My room
  6. My dog(Jo Jo)
  7. 412 Unlimited
  8. My live football matches
  9. All sorts of malaysian chinese,malay and indian food
  10. My beloved Penang

For those who wants to keep me in prayer,these are my prayer request:
  1. Have a safe journey there
  2. I'll be able to adjust to my new surroundings
  3. Good friends that will keep my fire burning for God
  4. A good church
  5. Most importantly,that my walk with God will be even closer than ever so that I will not fall into temptations and do things that will disappoint Him!

I'll upload any pics asap when I'm there.So....stay tune!

Packing is SCARY

I'm not supposed to blog now......but I'm doing it.I'm supposed to pack now.......but I'm not doing it.


It's already tuesday,I'm leaving this saturday.....Why am I not packing yet?


I realised that packing for travelling and packing for overseas study are completely 2 different things.


Packing to go overseas study is SCARY.....Imagine if you forget to bring something important,THAT'S IT!......until the next time you come back home.(most likely next year)


When I opened my travelling luggage,I feel completely lost.I don't know where to start,how to start.So many things to bring,so little space.


My room is in a mess.




Mother is still the best person on earth!She has offered to help me....yay=)


I MUST start packing today.I have only 4 days left.
