I am in love with Brisbane now. Many of my peers ranted how boring and lifeless this place is, in fact, I really love the slow pace and peaceful life that I can enjoy right now. I feel like I am on really long holiday despite the school stress. I love taking slow walks to school. I love shopping at IGA. Hawken Village is like a small and quaint town and I feel like it is the heart of this suburb and I am close and knitted to it. Bishan was big and there wasn't this "friendliness" and "quaintness", it felt so modernize, technical and cold.
School is stressful. Is not easy studying overseas at all. I feel that the stress I experience is comparable to university students in Singapore, or maybe more since students like me, will tend to want to get the maximum score since they paid so much school fees.
The period where I had a lot of test was very very unbearable, I felt like a walking zombie everyday, I was very lifeless whenever I studied, I kept studying and studying, day and night, literally non stop!!! Now I decided to study everyday, take it easy, and procrastinate a little, instead of rushing through my work when exams are coming.
Initially, I thought I will be some lonerkid95, but I actually met some really good people and I can even click with them!!! Happy!!! So this was like the first "significant" event I attended in Brisbane a few weeks when i arrived here. Ekka Day was spectacular, the carnival vibe was something that USS can never match up too. Even though it was just a week's event, the set-up was fantastic. I enjoyed the atmosphere a lot. At first I was quite awkward with aud and wq, but now we are soooo comfortable with one another :) YAY!
So i thought this strawberry ice-cream from Ekka was overrated but it was super good!!!! There were even strawberry bits inside the ice cream. It was milky, soft and strawberry concentrated!!!! (5 bucks)
And then there was mount coota after an amazing sleepover at 11 wells lane with aud, wenqi, ks, milly and c1. Never ever climb up mount coota if one is not in proper attire. It was so steep and tiring!!! Did not have much nice peektures alone at Mount Coota so have to do with this.. meh…
Good morning! Greetings from jolyn, wenqi, flat da bian and webbit. We had drinks and some really interesting games too!
There is even 5 dollar pizzas at Dominos! It was a great ketchup with larrymunches and again, had to do with a picture with c1 because there were no nice solo ones :/
And we successfully surprised aud for her 21 birthday. It was really sweet to see how wq and aud were such close friends and the effort wq put for aud's birthday. Really miss my singapore friends cuz I know they will be the ones who are doing such things for me :(
Mount Coota (Very impromptu) with them!! YAY! FINALLY without c1…. like gosh….
And then there was like my birthday where larrymunches and rachel surprised me at midnight!!! Was really touched and shocked to see them! especially larrymunches, we weren't really close but she really put in her effort to made me happy. Initially I thought we can't clique and all because she was outspoken and super friendly type, but she was really thoughtful and sweet!!!!
And ofc, not forgetting aud and wenqi!!! They brought my crave for chao da ji paiii!!! Xiao touch too <3
And i had a lovely and romantic dinner at wells lane!!!! I love it <3!! It was really memorable!! My 20th had got to be one of the most memorable birthday ever <3
And ofc, it was rachel's burfday and we surprised her and had a barbie marathon after that!!!
And then it was mid autumn festival. The event was super boring though, and I felt so awkward initially because hillary was with her grace college friends, but thank god for zanda and joanne, they made mid autumn more memorable and interesting!!!!
After my gold coast trip, I had the yummiest fried chicken wing i ever tasted for so many months at funny funny!!! It was delicious, we had some soju ish alcohol which tasted so horrible. I hate itt!!!
TATA. i can't wait for my farm work :( hopefully it will be successful.
