Day 26

What’s with Australians smoking? Everywhere I go I’ll see one smoking.. that means I’ll have to breathe in the stinking smoke as well.. Haiz.. there was a lady in her young 20’s smoking at the first bus stop I had to wait to take the bus to school. What’s gross was she took out her bread to eat after flicking the cigarette onto the floor and extinguishing the smoke with her shoes! The bus took a wrong turn today.. Lucky I wasn’t late for the lecture ah.. Met my friends there and we went for the lesson together.

Did I tell ya I meet someone new everyday? Well.. today’s not an exception. I thought I wouldn’t be able to make new friends. Cos’ normally you’ll not have the urge to talk to anyone new when you already have friends around you.. One of Caren’s friends joined us for lunch at the café. A guy.. The 1st guy I got to know from curtin actually.. haha.. He’s also from m’sia. Chang Xun I think.. Cool.. he’s 19 too.. But he looks older oops! LOL.. I still beat him in age though.. He asked me which month was my birthday on. And I said march. He gave me the surprised face so I knew instantly that he was also born in march. Dio! I was correct. Haha.. After that he asked whether I’m older than him. And I said deifinitely.. He was puzzled and asked how I knew.. I’m born on 1st march dude.. Haha! Funny guy.. he also asks me if I played maplesea.. Like huh? Who in the world will ask such a question, especially when u hardly know her? Apparently, he’s still playing the game. When I said he was childish, he said, “ No la.. I met a guy in maplesea and he’s 40 yrs old!” Another thing.. When he found out i was a PR and i only needed to pay A$3708 for the semester instead of A$9000 plus for international students, he went like, "Don't go near her.. she's different from us. She's a PR." Whallau.. i feel like smacking him man.. haha! just joking..

Lunch was eeuuwww.. ordered food from the asian stall. Thought the tomato rice would be worth trying.. But NOOOOO... i made the wrong choice. Guess the asian food here can't be compared to back home.. I'm gonna have a food spree when i get back. Hey..i remembered ming wei and wei bin said they'd bring me around to eat the best food around s'pore. Mmm..didn't get the opportunity to.. We must do that when i come home ok?? =)

I didn't know 2 hrs would be THAT long. We had like 1 hr to spare after lunch, with no idea what to do.. Lecture was draggy.. I had a 1 hr lecture followed by another one which was 2 hrs long.. I couldn't even count the number of times i yawned cos' it was uncountable.

Waited for my sister for 1/2 hr in the cold at the curtin bus stop. She owes me man.. It gets pitch-black at 6.10.. No kidding.. You can't even see the houses properly when the bus passes by them. Sure to miss your stop if you don't concentrate! Lucky i stayed awake..she didn't even know we had reached our destination. Aiz..hopeless girl.. We were later than usual cos' we were stuck at the traffic light. Seems like there were problems with the car in front of us so we couldn't advance. LOL..i counted the number of green lights we missed . 4 in total! Somemore.. it was a cross junction with traffic at all 4 corners. So it takes a while before the traffic light at your lane flashes.. Oh.. did you know you can still cross when the traffic light shows a red man? Haha.. green man means start crossing.. "flashing red man" means walk faster.. and "still" red man means you gotta get off the road if not say BYE BYE! Hehe.. i evil right?
