Moving to new house...

Yesterday is a 2pid and tiring day...

Woke up early and quickly packed my luggage and stuffs before going down to the shell station near toowong. The plan is to rent a Ute and pick up Charissa and Kenneth before starting to shift our stuffs to the new place. I've picked up the keys on Saturday from the house agent so everything is planned and ready to go. Charissa ended church around the time I was going off to rent the Ute so we met up and went together...Kenneth have book out of his motel and is waiting for us outside the motel.

Usually there's always a lot of Ute that's available for rent even on weekends. We saw only one left when we reached there so we tried tried to rent it, only to find out its already booked by someone and would be picking it up in 1hr+ time...Luckily the guy told us that there will be a Ute available by 5pm so we booked that instead. In the meanwhile, Charissa and I went down to meet up with Kenneth. Then we went down to toowong shopping centre to buy some bedroom stuffs for both of them. The car rental agent then called me to say we could pick up the Ute earlier, thus after leaving the purchases in our new house, we went down to pick up the Ute again...
Cute ducklings we saw on the road to rent the Ute...=)


After trying out the Ute...its really OMG!!!
I thought I could drive a manual car, but didn't realised the Ute is totally different from what I've drove before in the past. Its like a sports car! The clutch is uber tall, car body is so high, power so strong...I just simply dunno how to drive it! Luckily Charissa manage to ask one of her friends to come down and help driving it...=X

The process of shifting the house is freaking tiring and back-aching...We had to get my stuffs from 3 places, Nikki's garage, Luke's house and my ex-housemate's friend's garage. Charissa's stuffs from Kim's place and some from Nikki's garage too. We have sooooo muchhhh stuffs (esp all the kitchen stuffs i have=X) that a Ute alone can't carry everything in a go! Luckily we still had Charissa's friend's car which we managed to fold my SPRING MATTRESS and SQUEEZE it into the car. We shifted everything till evening time, where we then went down to Mayfair to have dinner - Crispy Chicken with fried rice! They cook really nice food there=) After that, we continue to shift things till about 11+pm...finally return the Ute!

Next thing is to clean up the house!!! OMG...imagine, the stuffs we've put into the house! In the end, we didn't manage to clean up much before deciding to take a rest...(carrying the dining table through the narrow staircase up the car park and up to our house is a nightmare!)

Today I've went to sch and had to take a cab back at around 10+am to open the gate for Ikea furniture movers to come in...=.=" (They said betw. 12 ~3pm!) In the afternoon, Charissa and I went to Toowong to get more necessities and we saw a good 4 piece sofa set with a table in Kmart for clearance sale! After some discussion at night, we've decided to return the couch to Ikea and get this 4 piece set instead=) Anyway, the entire day is another cleaning day for me...T.T

Last day at Luke's house

Today is the last day before I move to my new house at Toowong. Kinda happy that I've finally got a place of my own soon. Kinda sad too, that I'm leaving St Lucia area where I had so much happy and sad memories. I definitely will miss St Lucia, especially my first house here...

Waking up near 9am this morning, as usual after a late night sleep and feeling more lively than usual since I'm going down to Ikea for some furniture shopping in the afternoon=) Washed up, check mails (plus etc...) and suddenly it started to drizzle...sianz x100!
Luckily by the time I left my place to meet my housemates in Toowong, the drizzle has stopped. Thanks again to Beng (Charissa's friend) for driving us there even though he just touch down from his flight from Sg.

Shopping in Ikea is fun and headache! So many good stuffs around but dun have the budget to buy them! In the end, I made up my mind and got myself a nice study desk, a comfortable chair and a shelf=) In the end, I still spend a lot of money there. Charissa and Kenneth got themselves each a queen size mattress, a study desk and a comfort chair. Really nice mattresses they've got there, really comfortable! After choosing the stuffs to buy, we still have to go search for the items and carry them to the counter!!! Freaking tiring thing to do! We have so many items! The worst thing is that we shopped till they closed, left for our car, then we realised that the receipt is wrong! We've got 3 chairs with 1 cheaper one, but they charged us all at the same price! Not only that, we also found out that we've took the wrong legs for our study desk! Which cost us almost $480 because of that! Even cost more than our total price of 3 desks! So after long and tiring talking, changing, and explaining, we finally settled the problem with $400+ lesser on our bills...=.=!!!

Then Charissa's friend drive us to our new place, where we took our keys and toured around it. Amazing to see that u need a key to leave the place through the back door o_O". The house is nice, but I find my room a bit stuffy...thus i decided to.......take out the window!!!! Probably have to change the light bulb to white one too! I don't like yellow light in my room! Tomorrow will be the day...the new beginning...(hopefully i will get internet connections asap!...sob sob...no internet again)

CNY day in Brissy...

Its a blue blue day today for me.
Most people that I know would be celebrating chinese new year in singapore with friends and relatives...anyway, today's plan was to stay at luke's house and "nuaiiiii" till afternoon time. Last night was suppose to have reunion dinner with family...I had it with my friend, Kalai. (Thx alot man!)

Meeting Kalai again today in the afternoon, where we went to watch Valentine's day in Myer's centre and then had dinner at "Wa's" in city...Alright friends, u all having feasts in Singapore for CNY, I'm not too bad also ok! I have Korean steamboat! Look at the food below...that's what I had for CNY dinner...





After the dinner, we had a walk to southbank and strolled around there. Its Valentine's day and couples can be seen everywhere...(give me a chalk, a wall and a corner to myself...)
We strolled till about 9+pm before we decided to go back home...

First day in school...

Blue blue blue...feeling so blue.
Y am I back so early!!??
Answer: Cause I've got orientation on 1st feb and proj outline to submit on the 12th feb...=.="

The orientation is "a bit" useful for the honours year, at least I'm now clearer on my objectives for this year. So sianz when I heard that I have to attend 15 seminars and write diaries on them...Saw some classmates from last semester's classes during the orientation too

In the afternoon, I went to meet up with my supervisor and got myself some notes and previous lit reviews to go through. I'm also shown around the area where I'll be working in and my own office (shared of course!)...

hope this year everything goes on smoothly...

Primary Sch Gathering!

Its so sad...have to be back in Australia so soon! Finally back in St Lucia, at my friend luke's place now
Met up with my primary sch friends yesterday 12pm at lakeside! Waited till near 2pm when we finally start to walk over to our picnic site. We took some photos outside our old primary sch on the way there=) Nice food prepared by our good friends! So many stories to listen to!
Its really nice to meet up with them. Too bad I've to leave early to get ready to return to Australia :/



At evening time, 2nd Uncle drove me to the airport. Thanks uncle!
