The End of the Holidays 

Wow, its been so long since i actually published an entry. I have more than 5 drafts just taking up space in my account. There have been numerous attempts to type an entry but i always ended up wanting to finish it later, and then obviously forgot all about it.

The holiday is coming to a close and school is starting on Monday. This holiday seems so long, yet since i came back to Sydney, time seems to have flewwwww past. Im excited to start school again, meet new people, i will kind of miss my old friends even though i didnt get to know them until September last year. We went endured all the late nights together, the sleepless week working on the stupid eDVD shop, and the accounting assignment which paid off veryvery well. Those were pretty good times.

Im getting the keys to the apartment on Monday as well, & i will be officially moving out on Saturday. FINALLY! The place is almost literally across the street from Sydney City Myer, Pitt Street Mall all the other shopping. 5mins walk thats all. Im so excited! My timetable this semester is ok, not what i had planned out initially, but its so screwed up that alot of the classes were full even before i could enrol for them! At least now, i have a chance to go home for a nap or for lunch during long breaks.

I haven't even finished half of my packing. I had no idea how monstrous the amount of things i had bought in just 1 yr while in Sydney, esp in Jan 2006, until i started packing. And i actually have been depositing 1 tote bag full of stuff to Neh's house every week since the 3rd quarter of last year. I didn't realise moving was such a headache. At least now i dont have to suffer whenever i have class at 9am, neither would i have to walk the long walk to the train station, & AHH of course, i won't go through the 1hr train journey to & fro everyday. On top of that, because Pitt Street is almost my neighbour, i get to go to all the special invites which are always on Thursdays because of late night shopping! YAY! Since i am finally going to live in my own place, would anybody like to take a holiday to Sydney??? I promise free accomodation, i will also cook for you on some days so u can save some money cos food is not very fantastic compared to Sg, & its expensive!!! So, come pple come! Ill take pictures of my new place once i settle in!

We went Ikea to buy all the furniture today. I think we spent almost 4 hours there, i didn't realise we took that long. There was so much to buy and we couldnt decide which model to buy etc. Im looking forward to receiving all the furniture next Wednesday. I can't wait to do up the apartment. I love it! Its bright, airy, it has a balcony & it has a walk in wardrobe which although i will have to share with Neh, we bought another cupboard so HAHAHAH *evil laugh*. There was 1 day when Neh mentioned that he quite like the Moore Park area. And i suddenly realised why i never liked it, or any other suburbs. The reason is simple. Because there are no tall buildings at all! I mean, look at Singapore, every where u see tall buildings, HDB flats, office buildings & what have u. In the suburbs here, esp around the South Eastern suburbs, the tallest building would probably be 3 storeys at maximum. It was then that i realised i will always be a City girl. I will never grow to love the country sides of Australia, i will never like quiet suburban estates. Well to make 1 exception, i like Chatswood, but then again, Chatswood almost feels like a miniature version of Sydney City. So, i think i just made my own point. I will always be a City girl.

I have been really stressed out the past few days with all this things i have to do. Im exhausted, but tonight i can finally relax a little, get back to my hobby and sleep as much as i want tmr. & maybe i will walk to Westfield in the afternoon if i can wake up.

I miss Tomtom, mum says now she sleeps on MY bed in the afternoon. She literally sprawls out on my bed, damn shiok ah... We already gave her 1 room for herself, and she has a sofa, 2 beds, the study chair outside, the sofa in the living room and my sofa in my room to choose from, & now she made my bed her new bed!!! So naughty! Tomtom, Tomtom... Its only March & im beginning to cant wait to go back to Sg.

Oh 1 last thing, its the Mardi Gras next Saturday!!!!!!!!!!! YAYYYYYY im so excited! I wanna see the Mardi Gras parade, & i will get to see heaps of good looking gay men omggg hehehe.
