Back with a breath of fresh Perth air (sorry no pics just full on description)

heloooooo...haha yeah its been ages! had to live without FB for a week over. hahaha not too bad except it was pretty frustrating trying to reach yall back home. Im using Optus which is sorta like Digi and the first few days sengsara wanna send messages and call. But its all good now!

So hrmmm...lets see where do I start? Well..I got a warm welcome at Perth International Airport with the sweeet face of my darling pumpkin chuppa cakes. Hahaha ewwwwwwwwwwww tats what ur thinking. Ive never been happier to see him and that he kept to his word (his hair was kept long. hahaha I had a dream of having his hair long and shaggy like a garage rock star. ahahaha he looks really good with long sexy hair! Like the guy frm Coyote Ugly). Or maybe not. He found his hair disgusting so he cut it at the hair salon in uni Fringe Benefits. Yeps. I hear you. A salon on campus?? wtf?

"Oh I feel like a makeover shall we go for some supa stylin after accounting tute?"

Hahaha..I couldnt help but laugh (with joy) at how complete this place is. Bank? Yep theres one nearby the Curtin Business School. Clinic? Got it. Impressive. But the thing Imma need the most at the moment is the Student's Guild Noticeboard for part-time jobs. Yeps..Ive just only took a quick glance at the jobs available and like ya there were over 100 part time jobs to take up! But not too sure of the location though.

So why do I badly want to work here? Higher pay of course yeah thats one but its really about paying higher here! The very day I got here I already let my bad retail habits dominate my already sedated self and bought some stuff from MNG. Plus the change in fashion here tempted me to "blend in" (excuse mo baju baru je hehehe) and I bought some other clothes here. Haiya Vicky yeah thats what I thought to myself as well. Baru brapa hari dah splurge here and there.

Looks like Ill have to cut coupons for cheap meals off the receipts of Coles supermarket to survive. Hence, the job would fit nicely in my "budget". Hahaha how shallow of me. Bt hey, I dont want to feel guilty everytime I cash in. Its nice to know that when you've spent some I've saved some money in my lil piggy stash up here on my shelf.

Anyways..Getting back on track..Well The first few days was just going around Perth City a.k.a Malls and we went to eat the best seafood at Fremantle's Cicerellos. Check out the pics in my FB (too tired and impatient to upload here prolly edit after this post and add pics hehe). We had OYSTERS BAKED WITH CHEESE AND BACON , BIG ASS BATTERED SCALLOPS (MY FAV!) AND SOME OTHER STUFF (THE USUAL BATTERED FISH WHICH WAS ALSO DELISHHh!).

Then I decided to walk around and as Bev says "buang tabiat". Hahaha it was just too much a waste to not take pictures of the place while we were there. So mom agreed to take some photos which were out of her "norm". (again see FB).

But the real deal, the moment of truth, the event that was the most crucial and my being ready was a combination of mental fear and lots of "potential" scene rehearsals was the one when I was going to meet THE PARENTS. Hahaha I guess you could say I was shaking like a polaroid picture (Heyyyyyyyy yaaaaaa shake it shake shake shake shake it like a polaroid picture hahaha I just had to do that) and was repeating to myself,

"Dont screw up! Dont Screw up! Dont choke on the beef. Dont over eat!"

And as a result I ate too slow and felt left out when everyone had finished and were drinking wine. But his parents were awesome. And his brother too. And his cat (Tiger so fluffyy!) and their dog (Candy). His mom is sooooooo sweet and nice and pretty and she's always happy happy happy. Hahaha (hyperventilating). Im still quite nervous now (bah baru brapa hari) but silly me. I dont like it when I turn all quiet and awkward and laugh like a nerd as David puts it (which Ive done on several occasions with Tim's friends..yup I caught myself snorting lightly but dont think they heard me). Lucky I can laugh "controlled" sikit when Im with his family.

Then I've met my Aunty B who's settled in Perth and her family. Nice to have some close family here! She has the cutest dog ever! Rosco! Hahaha I uploaded his pic as Im a little biased towards animals. Hehehe.

And after all the long briefings (Housing Fire Safety Briefing was the worst! Two hours of 90% common sense. I mean who puts the hot pan straight from the stove on a carpet??) I finally moved into my room in good ol Vickery House. It was so hot that afternoon and it put me in a foul mood while I was unpacking and poor ol Tim was lying on the bed while I was doing it and seeing him lepak lepak there made me more angry. Hahaha though it wouldnt be wise he did anything coz only I knew where I wanted my things. But at nights it gets so cold here (at least by my reptilian standards) I had to wear socks and sweat pants to sleep.

My housemates? Multiracial home we have here emm let me see:

2 of us from Malaysia (at least got someone two speak our M;sian BI mah oh?)

3 Australian girls

1 American and 1 Canadian

expected 1 more from China but not sure if she is moving in.

So thats us in our little home. Apparently high security home (Curtin Housing spent over a million dollars on our lock system). Yeps, we use our student ID to enter our front doors and rooms and laundry rooms. So must bring it wherever! and if we leave the front door open for more than 2 minutes it will ring the alarm. So when its those heavy shopping days itll get a bit inconvenient. But other than that this place is nice.

So I think Ive put almost everything in a nutshell. Im getting tired now and my butterfly sheets are calling me though it would be hard to sleep with all the partying outside (or at least the makings of one, booze and laughing). Yeah our accomodation allows parties but with limitations of course. Hah! Yeshh..righhttt...like when would lil ol me organize one such Van Wilderesque communion. Oh well Ill come up with that later now my pretty lil brain needs some sleep (I perasan otak sia jak cantik ya) will be using it tomoro for some study.

Hahaha how geeky. Nah, after a dissapointing semester in Miri with downgrading and heartaches I dont want to let myself get caught up in peoples problems and my own petty thoughts. I decided to start now so that I will slowly make it back to where I was. A tad bit interested in what I was learning and motivated to get the best out of myself. I will not accept anything less than the most I can give. I owe myself that much. God help me. Goodnight.
