sEttLing dOwn~

the past few days seemed like a blur to me. everyday has been hectic. hectic. hectic. sometimes coming back home (Arrow on Swanstons) with bags after bags of stuffs, i thought that everything is going to be all fine then. but the next day, i will find that i have many things missing and i will be carrying another bags and bags of stuffs again. and the following days too. man! melbourne is a nice place to shop. too nice to not shop at all! get what i mean? such a waste of resources. haha! =)
my first day in Trinity was filled with laughter and i met many interesting friends from all over the country. China, Indonesia (yeah!), Malaysia, India, Taiwan, etc. the girls here are pretty. the guys here are not so handsome. haha! well, they're okay actually. i've got 2 giants in my class. a boy and a girl. they both originally come from China. amazing! all of them had different range of interest in our studies. some aspire to be a journalist, chemical engineering, doctor, dentist, commerce, bla bla bla. we are all 'on the high call' ye?
the teachers are all super super friendly and funny here. each lesson just makes you laugh and laugh. but of course, they know how to be serious at the right time always. so don't think that i am having only fun here aye. i am suffering here as well. i still feel lonely most of the times. i miss my friends back home a lot a lot! and it's not easy making new friends here either. i have to know each and every one of them here afresh. find out more about their family background. their interests. talents. hobbies. you know that kind of thing. and so most of the time, when i feel tired and sad, i can't really turn to them just yet. because they are my acquintance. we have not yet made any strong connections so far. well, but i believe we will soon~ (trying to be super optimistic here.)
the weather here is getting colder and colder everyday. i guess it's because of the upcoming winter season. well, that's gonna be a challenge to me. i'm only warm-blooded. i like the sunshine. i enjoy being under the sun, basking all day long. however here, even with the sun shining brightly in the sky, it is still chilly. brr! brr! brr!
last but not least, dad and mum are flying back to singapore tomorrow afternoon. SO SAD! i will miss them a lot! i can't imagine what my life will be like here w/o any of them here. i have been depending on them so much on my everyday life. so how i can survive the future is a mystery. really. i actually really hope that mum could stay for the weekend. (because friday will be a Good Friday holiday and next Monday will be Easter holiday) my roommate will be out of town with her friends (she will have a week of holiday for Uni) for the weekend. so will i be all alone for the weekend? who will cook and eat with me? who will talk to me? who will...? so worried for my future! =X
mum brought me to BIC (Bethany International Church) last Sunday and she's persuading me to bring my Indo friends to there again this weekend. hmm...should i? well, i don't know.
teachers are giving me us homework after homework already on the first lesson! they reasoned because we are now on the Accelerated programme so all the processes are accelerated as well. -.- lovely, aren't they?
tried doing laundry yesterday with mum and dad. midnight! and i had so many clothes to be washed!!! all the clothes i wore over at the hotel. i didn't know the launfry took so much time. 1 hour in total. so eventually, i slept at 1am in the morning. and was almost late for my class today! luckily my alarm was pretty loud and mum made the wake-up call for me. (= took a bath after that, and rushed down to meet Tahnee (China friend staying at Arrow too) and Valerie (Indonesian doing medicine too!). sorry to say but i was late today.
went to eat at Subway with Aza (Malaysian girl my age), Tahnee, Valerie and Jesica (Indonesian doing commerce). their meal size was so large that i am overwhelmed by the quantity of it all. i am always FULL everyday i tell you. (except for this morning when i had to rush off to school without breakfast- my stomach was grumbling throughout the morning lessons)
okay i shall update again soon. ASAP! i promise.
i miss my friends back in singapore a lot! sometimes you guys asked me (in MSN or SMS) how i am, i just said i'm okay when i'm actually feeling really sad and empty here (insignificant)- just so that you guys won't have to worry about me. well, i'm trying very hard to have fun here. and definitely without my parents, it's going to be way way TOUGHER than i am expecting. i know. arghh~
i will just depend on God from now onwards. He is the one i can always turn to anytime, anywhere and anyhow. i will just have to put my trust in Him and for all His Promises.
