A Glimpse of my Apartment

This week is another hectic week, but compared to the last one, its a breeze! Another assignment done, and another test coming up on tuesday. I'm just trying to squeeze in this entry before I finish downloading something, then its off to studying again! Bleah.

Anyway, last sunday was my roommate's 21st birthday. We went to eat at this place called Cafe Corretto at Lygon Street. The pizzas there were AWESOME. Luckily we went there early, I heard you've always got to wait very long for a table. Anyway, it was a breeze getting one that day. Ordered some mushroom and corretto special pizza. It was sooooo gooooood. Doesn't taste like your normal, commercialised Pizza Hut pizza, but authentic italian ones. Thinking of it makes me hungry!! Yum yum! Too bad I forgot to take pictures of it. Anyway, after that we went to the supermart, did a bit of grocery shopping, and bought a chocolate roll cake as a substitute for a proper birthday one.

But first, an introduction to my roommates. From left: Jialin, Janice and Joanne. All J's!! Haha, I kinda just realised.

Joanne stays in the same apartment with me. Jialin stays in a 1 bedroom apartment opposite us.

Jialin and her birthday cake. Haha, so much for a 21st birthday celebration.

This is the pathetic living room. Everything you see in this pic, is the whole room actually. Joanne's taking out the cake.

I was standing at the shoe area taking that living room pic. See our array of shoes, and this is the minimum. Haha, only the top rack, and the black flat boots at the side is mine. The rest are a mixture of Joanne's and Jialin's. But in my room, I still have my running sneakers, my black heels, my black heeled boots, my latest addition (A brown high cut converse sneaker!!, which i'll show you in another post), and..I think thats about it acutally.

Beside the shoe area, is my room. I'm taking this picture of Jialin standing from my room door. She's standing beside Joanne's room. From here, you can see a glimpse of the living room! My apartment is shit small.

My humble abode. The place where I relax, go insane, and stress out.

Across the shoe rack, on the other side, is the toilet! I don't know why Jialin keeps popping up. Haha, I didn't realise it myself. Maybe she's my model.

Anyway, this is the 3 of us again. We're so different in personalities, but we're still getting along just fine. Not too many bumps...yet.

The Janice, Joanne, Jialin Story.

Autumn's Approaching..

Its been colder the last few days. Last week, the temperature was in the mid 30s but this week, like today, its 21 degrees! Lowest 15, but its not the temperature that I'm bothered about, its the wind! Freakin' cold!

Its one thing out walking in the nice cool street and its another thing when you're carrying groceries and a gush of wind tries so hard to push you down, on top of feeling damn cold. Should really try it, its hard work! Think thats where all my fats went to cause Ive been eating a LOT, and I think I haven't gain weight, so its all gooood. I think its the equivalence of doing resistance training? The wind pushes you back, and you bend your head forward, squint your eyes (cause I don't wear glasses, and the sand keeps blowing everywhere), and really push yourself against the wind while trying to hold on to your groceries cause they're trying to fly off as well. Cool huh?

Oh well, enough about the weather, autumn's coming soon, but I'm looking forward to the weekends! The temperature will be back to the 30s again. Plus, I've got friends to go out with now!

The first week of school was really like shit, cause lectures are quite big, and going straight into 3rd year makes you stick out like a sore thumb, cause the people all have their cliques already. Its the usual hi and bye stuff and thats it! But thanks to Wayne's ex, I've got quite a few friends, met a few while walking, plus, Jen and his friends. So, I didn't feel like crap this weekend! Spend the whole of fridays and saturdays hanging out with these people! I'm feeling so much better here already.

Not as lonely as before, but school work stresses me out la. After so many months in the hot sun cleaning my beloved animals' poo, I'm forced back to the classroom to remember facts I don't quite remember studying in poly. So, have to catch up on quite a bit!

I really miss being out field, absorbing the sun, and seeing greenery. EVERYTIME in class, without fail, once my lecturer opens his mouth, I start to hallucinate him singing lullabys. Its damn soothing. Its like therapeutic remedy for insomniacs. I think it'll work. Maybe I should open a centre for insomniacs, and ask my lecturers to teach. Sure famous.

Anyway, some photos of melbourne. The clayton one was when I went to visit this friend at his place. He's studying in monash. The flinders street station one is in melbourne city, walkable distance from my house, like around 45-1 hour. oh. and did I tell you, I walk EVERYWHERE. So like 1 hour walk from my house is still near, I've walked further...and got lost. Flinders's is like one of the main train stops, looks pretty cool huh.









See the "Justice for David Hicks" thing, haha you definitely can't do that in Singapore! Its quite open here and there'll be many posters about anti-war stuff, iraq, marxism, capitalism..eye-opener. =)
