I want to go to bed without having to worry about anything everytime. I wanna sleep soundly always. It so hard to get a good night's rest these days.

I woke up yesterday morning with HUGE eyebags. had the shock of my life. I look so horrible nowadays.
It was all because of work the day b4. Had to serve customers nonstop for 3 hrs. I think I made close to a hundred hotdogs! You should see the way angmohs eat. Its as if their stomach was hollow. Moreover, there were 88,000 ppl at the Melbourne Cricket Ground watching the footy match on Sun. They just cant stop eating and drinking!
So the whole 3 hrs all I got was: 'Hey, any more chips? ; Are there anymore meatpies? Get me a hotdog pls. etc''. And its not like the food was great. One hotdog for $5 is ridiculous. Oh well, thats how they earn money.
My legs were wobbly by the time my shift ended. But the thought of the money earned makes it alot better (yes, I need the money!) I wish I could work longer though. Too bad the food was all sold out after 3 hrs. This further emphasizes my point that the ppl here have huge appetites.
I'm starting to understand that life ain't so easy after all. I spent 18 yrs living under my Dad's roof (I still am actually), and realised that my life back in Singapore was rather sheltered. Down here, students start working when they are 15/16 and indepedence is very much emphasized. I'm glad I'm starting to learn to do things, starting to learn to be more independent. Every morning I wake up thinking about what I have to do, what I have to settle today etc. Back home it was: what shd I wear to go shopping today, what shd I buy and so on. Studying overseas really builds character.
Happy birthday Dad! He's so cute. He's gonna buy a cake and celebrate his bdae over the webcam with me and sis tonight. And i 'forced' him to include willow as well. I miss him. I miss the fruit juice that he makes for us every wkend morn, I miss our family outings, I miss just being in his room with him. I miss his presence and the sense of security I feel whenever he's near. The other day he was telling us that one of his old friends left the world suddenly coz of a heart attack, leaving behind his wife and 2 kids. Life is so unfair, but thats the way it is. My world would crumble without my dad and my family.
I'll be able to see everyone I miss back home in 3months time. I really cant wait. I sure hope these 3 months will pass by quickly.

It was a busy wkend. It was the usual fri night dinner with sis and our little gp here.
then kiki, esther liz and I had dinner and then a few drinks on sat night. It'll be a looong while b4 kiki and I touch a 151 again.
Me and sis went to this spanish cafe called san churros on sun, and we had the loveliest spanish donuts dipped in hot melted dark choc together with spanish-styled drinks. it was simply heaven! all that sugar just put us in a gd mood instantly. And dinner that night was soooo delicious. we made our own curry and devoured our meal while watching Australian Idol simultaneously.
Damn Chelsea for getting that penalty which wasn't supposed to be a penalty. we were supposed to win! It felt great watching our guys play again. I miss those wkends spent lazing on the couch
with sis, nick and dad, watching ESPN/starsports and screaming at the TV. I'm returning to that in 3 months time! no more laggy online streamings.
and I got a job! :)

We celebrated National Day in Melbourne as well! it was an event organized by the Singapore Student's Society where there was supposed to be a live screening of NDP. (which unfortunately didn't play for more than 30seconds at one time.) The party wasn't that gd, but thank god for friends there. Look how patriotic kiki and I are. we were dressed in national colours!

Cherlyn dear I miss u loads. and bee, hy, izzie, wh, jh, xinyi, wee, evey, everyone! the guys too.
Have been real busy lately. esp this wk, where I have all 3 pracs and full curriculum time. I seem to be busier this sem. prob coz of how my timetable is structured, and coz i'm desperately looking for a job. So I haven't been online and havent talked to sooo many ppl for sooo long.
what gets me thru the day:
The thought that its one day closer to seeing my family, kcc and my willow.
Oh and coffee. definitely coffee. It kind of dictates my mood for the day.
No coffee = grumpy and sleepy. and feeling like time passes so slowly. But i so need to stay awake during lects so I dun have to spend so much time revising at home. I wished I had like 50 hrs a day. ok, thats too greedy. 48 then, 48.
