homeward bound.
i am so glad i chose to go back. was really reluctant initially even tho i really missed the ppl back home, because there's this job in marking exam scripts that someone introduced to me and it pays really well (AU$20/hr.. now i'm thinking i shld hav come here to work b4 starting uni, instead of slogging and getting menial pay in singapore.. to think i thought that S$8.50/hr paid well). that would mean earning about $1.6k after just 10 days of work. but parents told me firmly that if i din go back, they'd fly over because they want to see me somehow.. n buying 1 air tic is definitely more economical than buying 2, what with the same eventual purpose. so yes, i'm not complaining. going to binge on good food!
my decision was further confirmed by the gloomy weather the past few days. its been raining intermittently and the cold has really gotten to me. it bites, especially at my toes. going numb from the cold is one thing, going from numb to pain is another. a totally new sensation. i have to defrost my feet under hot running water whenever i get back. doesnt help that i cant wear shoes because of my nasty blister that makes me limp terribly.
its depressing. SAD, they call it. seasonal affective disorder.
anw, that aside. all u ppl out there, start booking me! i'll be back for a short 3 wk stint and then i'm off to sydney for the hillsong conference. really hope to catch up as much as possible! :)
oh yes and before i forget. these are a few photos that i took on my girl's day out with jasmine. had fun with the girl at victoria market, eating gelati (yes despite the cold) on lygon street, roaming the city streets and having mekong vietnamese beef noodle! yay, we should have more outings like this, post-exams!
caught sight of this shirt at victoria market. i think i've seen ones that say
'just DO it', but never one that said 'just DID it'. heh.
what are you guys looking at, eh?
check out the yellow sign.
beef noodle, spring rolls and hot almond soy milk (which coagulates into almond jelly when cold btw. very nice. u get ur drink and dessert all rolled into one ;p).
the night ride home.
