hello from melbourne!

hello everyone!

haven't left a note here in quite a while. though i still read it occasionally.
it's really nice hearing all the celebrations u guys have there...National day, teachers day, mid autumn festival. well, it's pretty different here. coz national day for example, though there are heaps of singaporeans in melbourne, it's jsut different. like you don't get constantly reminded that it's national day coz people don't put up the flags on the balcony and stuff. in fact i only remembered it was national day like halfway through the 9th! haha yeah...and moon cake festival here is kinda depressing. coz mooncakes are SUPER EXPENSIVE! like one mooncake is $10 aussie..which is abt 13 sing dollars i think! yeah. and to buy them we have to go to the suburbs to the chinese grocers to get it. i told my mummy and she said she'll send some over for me! so yay! haha. anyway, happy teacher's day mr lim!

well, i'm already in the middle of my semester. which is really fast. coz in two and a half months time i'll be back home!!! i'm quite settled here already! so yeah...life is good. definitely not as stressful as in singapore. i've got mid semester exams the next two weeks. but it's nothing like Singapore! it's just like 20 mcqs and all. yup and following that i've got two weeks of holidays! looking forward to all that!

foodwise, i'm eating ALOT here! definitely put on weight already. there's jsut so much variety ehre. and do my own grocery shopping that i buy whatever junk i wanna eat! i do miss asian snacks though. cooked chicken rice that day and i must say it was pretty good! the wonders of the bottled chicken rie paste! haha.

everyone has started uni already yeah?have fun u guys!
meanwhile, all of you enjoy the flavours of singapore!
