First month blues

Okay, so i've been in this country for exactly a month now & i'm still feeling quite foreign. I mean, this place is okay now, i'm starting to get usd to the place & stuff, not much of a cultural shock for me at first anyways, except that instead of having asians all around, i'm surrounded by tall burly caucasians who don't give a shit. I feel like a lone stalk of wheat or barley stuck in the middle of a corn field sometimes....

Now everyday living's ok now that i'm more or less settled down. Forced myself to Really cook, i mean, instant noodles can only last that long & go that far on a fat boy's menu. We've gotta have variety. So today i stir-fried some veges (cauliflower, carrots, tomatos, cabbage, the only stuff you get here) & actually tried stir frying some calamari in tomato sauce & onions. It actually tasted quite good~~..... not that i'm praising myself or anything (ok maybe i am. I'm confident, so sue me.) One thing about my stove though, it's an electric stove (to save on Gasoline) so it takes like forever to heat up & stay warm enough. I mean seriously, it takes me roughly 10 FRGGIN' MINUTES to fry an egg. So cooking takes ages. On the other hand, i can like put something down to cook, take a shit, than bathe, than change, come back, & the food won't be burnt. Hell, sometimes it's not even cooked yet! The advantages of using a snail slow stove y'all. LoL. XD

Walking to school is also something that need's getting used to, 'specially in winter, which is coming soon (*choke* *gag*) the wind is damn cold. You'll have to really experience it to know what i'm whining about. I mean the wind can literally blow through my windbreaker, i'm always chilled to the bone. & the wind is damn strong too. Thinkyou've experienced what i'm talking about? think again. I think Joash mighthave some idea of the winds i'm talking about. He's experienced roughly the same sort at the Perth beach. The winds are so strong you're literally swept of your feet. One time, as i was exiting the Metro station, i thought it'll be a good idea to stretch my hands out & do the Titanic thing...
Big mistake.

I'm the king of the world~~~!!!
I was blown so hard i had to retreat a few steps just to avoid falling on my tush. Almost did too if my friend didn't stop me then. whew. Making a fool of myself just outside the Metro station. Sounds Dominic don't it?? haha

Really miss alot of things from my hometown. I mean First & Foremost::

Than of course there's my friends, miss you guys dearly... Miss waking up early for basketball, than going to the market for kuehchap *slurp* & ais kacang *slurpslurp* miss talking bird in class... Miss dishing off prefects & teachers that offended us one way or the other together (coz doing it alone is no fun) Miss Judo... Hell, even miss being thumped awake by joash when i nap in class. (=p)

Miss of course my dear..... *some text missing* NYAHAHAHA

LAST but not least, there's my dear family. Mum, Dad & sis... Miss you all very much... When i was celebrating Clarence's birthday, it got me thinking, this will be the 1st year i celebrate my birthday without my parents.... & this will also be the first year i won't clelebrate Their birthdays with them..... I mean, we don't really celebrate all out with a cake & all, but at least we eat somewhere special every year..... Sorry i won't be able to celebrate with you guys this year....

I used to really hate (well dislike... a little) being part of a large family, (aunties, uncles, cousins included i mean) coz anything & everything was spread around... Nothing could be kept secret... which cousin argued with their parents, which cousin got involved in a car accident, which cousin failed their examinations... the list goes on... but now i start to actually like belonging in such a "busybody" (i mean that in the nicest way possible) family. At least it shows that everyone cares... Lol

Oh n guys, call me pussy, I don't care. this is how i feel now. =p

will update some other time with pics of my room... haha
