so far, thank God the weather is not as hot (but nevertheless its still extremely humid!)... its been very rainy, adding to the humidity... its been rainning almost the whole time since i woke up in the afternoon today... and due to me taking one day break from cleaning up my long unused room, i perspired least today.. hot hot hot!!

while my skin allergies are still in control for now, and my respiratory problems are getting in control wif the help of asthma inhalers, and my nose allergies improving wif the excellence of nasal spray... my eye allergy is killing me!! its very itchy most of the time, makes my eyes teary and dry and feels swollen too (although it does not really look swollen)...

the shortness of our country's people and traffic light poles still amuse me.. :P Not that i'm too, but its funny how everything's so short... our green and red man are short and fat too! Very amusing too, the size of our coins! so small!! SG 50 cents must be the size of AU 20 cents i think... talk about adapting back to life here...

my appetite has ironically shrunken... but tat's not stopping me from gorging myself... slice fish bee hoon at my local coffee shop has increased 30 cents in price!! argh... bubble tea seems to be more popularly $1.50, not $1... :( How amazing that $20 can buy sambal stingray, carrot cake, fried oster and 4 bbq chicken wing at Bedok 85... Take away sushis come wif FREE wasabi and soy sauce!! well but all the sashimi tat im eating here makes me wonder if worms will grow in my stomach - now that i've tasted the super duper fresh salmon sashimi in new zealand's Mt Cook Salmon Farm, i know what is and what isn't GOOD... oh.. my mt cook salmon......................

my most appreciated part back here - the next train after the missed train is 3 or 6mins... not 30 or 60 mins anymore! internet usage is really unlimited now! although now i gotta keep hearing mum rattle on about wasting electricity wif the computer... well well...

all my frens are working (i think)! arghhh... i shld get a job too... gotta start supporting my family too... which is also what i want... moving out of my comfortable and familiar zone is very daunting... im tempted to go back to market research, but my heart wants to try something new and more relevant to my degree...! time to think about ideals and goals... and those other popular interview questions... i wanna answer truthfully and impressively... although my truths are not always impressive...

Im back!! After my convocation ceremony, an awesome new zealand holiday, and my massive running-ard-and-packing-my-stuff saturday.. I'm back!! yeah!!

didnt haf a good flight, the qantas ticket i bought put me on board a british airways aircraft... :s I could only haf chicken for lunch becos their lamb dish had ran out... :s :s The in-flight tv screen was extremely bad quality and the stupid kind where movies are set to play at certain times only... :s :s :S Not to mention, the unfeeling qantas staff who charged me 4 kg excess baggage (totaling to AUD$96 leh)!! ARGH!!!!

hmm... but anyway, my baggage were super duper over the limit.. haa... it's kinda long and embarrassing story but in short, billy and i sneaked ard a little... kekeke... the qantas staff tot i had 4 kg excess only, but in fact i think i haf at least 20-30kg excess!! haa...!! the day before our flight, saturday, which is also the day we landed back in brisbane after NZ, billy and i rushed like mad to the bank and post office... we really ran to the post office, but only to find out that it had closed half an early ago already.. :s :S Yeah, so u see, i didnt wanna bring everything, i had wanted to mail some stuff over, but the post office closed on me... :(

but its still great to be back...!! great to heard the customs officer talking very warmly in singlish... haa... im so proud of the lights we haf in singapore! it's so dark in aussie and even NZ... when our plane was approaching singapore, i could see that even our sky is brighter higher! haa... and i can't wait to shake away the terrible public transport in brisbane and get back to my excellent SBS and SMRT... kekeke...! No more post offices closing at 12pm for me and no more banks closing at 4pm!! and hello to my big house, big room, and good comfy hard bed!!

Oh but im going to miss most dearly, the weather and air in australia!! haa... which is of cos, so good... ;) Going miss my big and powerful shower water-flow.. my slack lifestyle!! my massive eating junk food in front of tv... my unhealty stocked up coke supply.. KRISPTY KREME DONUTS!! Ohhhh....

but still... its great to be home! i cant wait to buy my SG$1 bubble tea tmr!!

life as a slacker is wonderful...!! haa... everything my day starts at 3pm, and i'll chat online, waste my life away on facebook until like 3am... hmm, come to think of it, im sleeping 12 hrs a day! wow....... and while im awake, i'll go out, meet people, etc... i love my life now.. haa...! ok ok, i'll admit, this cant last for more than 3 months, but it's been great so far! muahahahhaaa!!

my things are being well sold off, looks like my IMC tactic works... 1st of all there's traditional print advertising, where i pinned up an advertisement on QUT's library and Z blk notice boards and include a link to my debleavesbrisbane blog site... den i occasionally go take some photos of the things i dun want anymore and blog it with a price... and then there's personal selling where i tell people by word of mouth that im selling stuff... see, print, online plus personal selling and WOM makes good enuff IMC.. i've successfully sold stuff to some friends and 2 strangers... :D and for da jie's information, i placed an ad on QUT student guild website before i did this IMC thingy, haa... which didnt work at all... :s

anyways, yea, i think i really lost my $150 book voucher... :( im thinking i might have accidentally threw it away... argh!! i hope no one wants to buy it now.. haa.. it's still being listed as an item to buy currently... haa.. im a hopeful person - i hope i can find it and i hope someone buys it!

right now is 29 more hours before i see billy again! its been 6 months man... its the longest time we've spent apart... everyday i wake up at 3pm and count down to saturday... HEE..!
