forgive me
forgive me for my inconsistent blogging. in case you are wondering how I am doing, good (and I meant that). am extremely thankful of the little surprises that my every day brings (:
this post serves as a shout out that I am alive and kicking, 3,000km away from home. please do not be worried when you're not hearing me from twitter and facebook, as I'll be away on a honeymoon with Jesus.
cheesy as it may sound, I miss all of you and definitely look forward to be back in end November (I know I keep saying that). time's already passing all too quickly and impatient me wants it to pass faster.
take good care of yourself, live for today and dont let yesterday haunt you. do not miss the moment and never take time spent with your love ones for granted. as sad to say, people only realised how precious something or someone is until it is gone or taken away from them. always remember that there's always 2 sides to every coin, you choose what you see. so go ahead and live your everyday fearlessly, achieving great things that you yourself cannot imagine ever doing.
shall leave you with that. until my next post (; xoxo
love

SWEET
the beautiful clock tower at my university (:
my home away from home, st catherine's college <3
I'll leave you guys with this recent nerdy photo of me, in case you've already forgotten how I look!
thick without the taste of salt. that was exactly how the Perth's water tasted. this is one of the many things that I had to adapt to. how have I been if you might ask, it gets better everyday! truly does (:
and yes I've been filling my tummy with heaps of yummy-licious food. beef here's tender, Frementle's Kilis Fish&Chips would make Singapore's Fish&Co 'cry in shame' (not exaggerating!). enough said with food, am uber thankful that I do not have to cook my own meals as they're all provided at my college/hall. (we even have our own pastry chef and she whips the most amazing desserts!) it seems that putting on weight's inevitable.
weather? it's getting warmer (day: <20 degrees and night:below 15 degrees), plus it has been raining a lot lately. winter here is wet, thrown with strong winds (FYI: Perth is the 3rd most windiest city in the world. no kidding!). uber thankful for the 'hurricane proof' purple laced umbrelly that mum passed to me as it's able to withstand the torrentious downpower (it doesn't overturn and start to collect rainwater. thank God!). simply love playing dress up as I've been experimenting layering,wearing shorts paired with leggings and get to complete my whole outfit with my uggs boots (;
friends? Asians, especially from Singapore, make up a huge bulk in the business school. hence, for now, most of my school mates are Singaporeans. however, during meal times, it is common to see people from all around the world, all sitting together at the dining table. once I had an international dinner which consists of girls (I'm in an all girls' college. whoots) from Italy, South Africa, US and even Hongkong. how cool is that?
homesick? nah, not YET. partly cos I've been pretty much occupied with adapting to everything's that thrown at me. yes, freedom is sweet BUT it comes with heap of responsibilities. scary thing is that I could, can and would be able to do practically 'anything that I want to do' but of course, the holy spirit in me would be giving off 'high alert' signals. I wanna stay true to myself and embrace this great season of my life as a carefree, free spirit, single young woman (*guess my g.y.m has to wait).
what am I studying? commerce, majoring in human resources and corporate finance plus I'm considering of minoring in business law.
it's been 13 days since I've arrived and skype, whatsapp and msn have been a part of me. after every video call, it never fails to leave me with this warm & fuzzy feeling is what I totally need in this chilly weather.
I hope your past week has been as lovely as mine! (;
*I just realized that the pictures posted here are all so dull and bleah. all the nicer pictures are posted on facebook so do check it out!
