Day 18 in Australia: Missing Malaysian Food

Howdy, how's everyone doing on this relaxing Saturday evening? It's freezing cold here, the strong wind could actually make your body feel numb. As usual, nothing special happened in the pass few days, keep on repeating the same routines everyday like sleeping, cooking, schooling, watching drama...

I was wanted to upload some photos but somehow forgotten to resize them before I come here >.<" What a dummy!~ Last night, all in a sudden I feel like eating "Leng Chi Kang", "Ais Kacang", and other "Tong Shui" I used 2 have in Malaysia. I feel like going back to Penang *sob sob*

*slap* I shouldn't mention or even think about it!!! It was my dream coming over here to study, now it has come true and I should appreciate it instead of complaining =x Hehe, I understand that every single beginning is hard 所谓，“万事起头难 ” ~ Keep holding on, just stay strong... ~ Gambateh to myself and see u guys around!

How sad could that be?! I haven't visit anyone's blog ever since the day I left Malaysia (10th of July) or probably longer. I'm totally out-dated!!! The last movie I watched was Die Heart 4.0, I've been watching Heroes Season 1 and 高朋满座(a HK drama series which have 6 seasons with 3 disc for each season). That's boring, right?

I went for shopping at Grand Central in Toowoomba City yesterday, had a very nice foot long Sweet Onion Teriyaki Chicken sandwich in Subway with my boi and we've bought quite a lot of groceries. Here, I need to cook for almost every meals daily. It's gonna cost us a lot to eat outside. Plus, the food here ain't really nice at all >.<"

The Asian spices here are expensive, some don't really taste like those we had back in Malaysia. So even if I try to cook something similar which I used to have, still there's something missing in somewhere. I'm talking about the flavor!!!

Alright, it's time to get off now. See you guys later!

Day 13 in Australia: Recovering...

It's still cold in Toowoomba but not that cold compared 2 the first few days when we just arrived here. My skin's condition is getting better, at least it's not so itchy now. According to one of the international students here, the winter will end in this coming September (means still have 1 month to go from now).

These few days, we're all busy with subject enrollment issue. The new rules for International Student Visa has changed starts from 1st of July this year. Unfortunately, we're the first batch of new students who have to enroll at least 4 subjects during our first semester here.

Alright, it's time 2 have lunch now. Get back 2 y'all soon! Have a nice day!

Day 10 in Australia: Not So Cold but Still Cold

A very warm bear hug to everyone who's missing me and whom I'm missing right now especially my family. I think I'll get to update my blog more often in the coming days cause my boi will apply for broadband service soon. He bought a wireless router last night at AUD 135 from a PC workshop in front of Student Village, the owner and the seller of this shop both come from M'sia but they didn't really give us any discounts even though we've asked for it, how cruel >.<"

It was so cold and windy yesterday especially night time where you can't even get to feel your face, your fingers and your toes when you step outha your house. Luckily the weather gets better today, we woke up quite early to deal with our enrollment issues with USQ Student Services but still we can't find any solution and we're required to come back on the next coming Monday at 11 a.m.

I gotta make a move to refectory (aka cafeteria or canteen) now, cause my boi wanna have a check on his banking account. I wonder why they call it refectory instead of cafeteria or others LoL. Alrighty, will catch up with y'all soon. Take care & miss ya! *Muackz*

Day 7 in Australia: Serious Skin Problems

Hi everybody, sorry that I can't get to online for the pass whole week, there's no internet connection provided in the place I stay which is Student Village. I'm currently sharing a 5 rooms house with my boi, one of my coursemates, and another 2 Indian guys from India. At first I thought that it was just a 3 rooms villa but then everything changed when we get here.

Everything here is very expensive compared to Malaysian products, if you keep on comparing the prices with the exchange rates, you couldn't even buy a single thing here. The first few days was tough for me, even until today. The weather is extremely cold, about 5 degrees and it's very cold at night and in the morn, you will hate it when u go outha your room or even hate it when you wanna take bath.

I got quite serious skin problems here since last Saturday, my skin is very dry and causes itching, now whole body is very itchy and full with red dots cause I scratched it too much until I've hurt myself. My noise is pain, lips are dry, my body doesn't feel right at all but don't worry about my condition cause I've seen doctor this morn and she gave me some advises on how to deal with my current condition. I'm advised to consume 2-3 litres of water a day in such cold weather! That will really keep me busy walking to the washroom every 10 minutes.

Aww, how I miss Malaysia... the food, the weather, cinema, my family and every other things there. The first day I reached here, I just ate 2 pieces of bread, now everyday also eating so little until I've lose quite some weight. The room I stay doesn't really have ceiling fan, air-con or heater, so for the pass few days we've spent our time walking for 4-5 km in the cold and wind days to buy our daily goods, sounds pity ain't it? I don't think I'll get internet access for the coming few days as I'm still going under orientation for this week but I'll try my best to keep all of you updated. Take Care & love y'all!
