1st Week In Sydney

Finally can post something up. Took damn long to get internet lah haha.

First of all, a big THANK YOU to everyone who have come down to the airport on the 17th, and all those who have msged, and thanks for all the gifts I have received. For those who requested or expected gifts when I'm back, dun expect too much, coz things here are damn ex~!! And I'm on a tight budget. lol.

Could not slp in the plane, watched the departed and the heartbreak kid there, then it was hello Sydney! Macquarie University provides this airport reception thingy whereby there will be a driver picking me up frm the airport. And there were 3 other students that day. A swiss, a chilean, and an american. On the way, the chilean guy asked me how is Singapore like. Omg, I was stunned by the question, I did not know how to ans, No 1 has asked me this qn in my life lol. I was like "erm.. erm.. Singapore? ok, not bad. hot throughout the year.." wahahah wat kind of ans was that manz.

Reached my apartment in abt an hour. My flatmates were already there when I arrived. And all of them are Americans! omg, cham liao, proper english for the next 20 weeks, hope I can survive man lol. So far its still ok lah, though sometimes I can only understand like 70-80% of wat they saying, but jux nod my head and smile haha.

Well, that's the apartment I will be staying in for the next 20 weeks, not too bad, mostly carpeted, got bath tub, dishwasher, microwave, oven, stove, fridge etc etc, but sill think it's too ex lah. aud200 a WEEK is really ridiculous haha.

My first week in Sydney was quite boring. Was just hanging around the university and the shopping center nearby. And food here is super ex! 500ml coke cost AU$2.85!!!! kaoz. I think subway and burger king (they call it "hungry jack's" here, but i recognise the logo and the menu haha) will be my good fren for the bulk of my 20 weeks here, $6 (student meal for subway and triple cheese burger meal for bk).

Had an orientation and a small party at a bar on Thursday with all the exchange students. But most are ang mohs lah there, and there were so many of them! hard to integrate sia lol, must really brush up my ang moh and learn to slang a bit manz!! wahahaha. Ended up toking to a chinese frm Mexico, and she was telling me how her fren in mexico was recently kidnapped and killed. And the kidnapper was like a police or security guard at the workplace of that person! haha scary place.

Haven gone to the city or anywhere further, but will definitely do so this weekend! Ok, I'm lazy to type oready, and I think I have typed quite a bit. Going out soon. Will update again, hopefully with more pictures haha.
