yup, it was pouring for the whole of last week in sunny brisbane! such irony, that the usually drying dams were overflowing last week and causing floods down the coast here. water level was around knee high and schools were closed. Fortunately it's fine over at my place here cuz i'm quite a distance away from the coasts.
This leads me to think that i'm always very fortunate. Since young, everything was paved quite nicly for me and my life was just as smooth as the flat roads in the desert. Mayb there might be a couple of stones that caused the car to jerk a little but i'm still going on steadily. That might be y i used to take alot of things for granted. In this couple of yrs, i've learnt to appreaciate those things that were so normal in the past 2 decades of my life.
Reflecting back, my life is really smooth sailing. Everywhere i go, i have people to help me out that's y i'm really thankful to lm for all of this. gxlmcb:).

kind of lazy to blog lately. haha. but i think i should update every now and then so here i am! haha!
last update was 9 aug. after that was just school and stuff. Went out on Tuesday night to celebrate katie's(housemate) birthday. Went to a restaurant called St Marco's but it was closed already. Can u imagine it? restaurant closed at night! haha. So we changed to the next best one that katie likes. It's call Wang's dynasty. From the name it's quite apparent that it's a chinese restaurant. The place is nice cuz it's just by the brisbane river. We had quite a bit of fun. There were 8 of us. 4 asians and 4 americans. We taught the americans how to eat rice with a fork and spoon. haha. They normally eat with just the spoon and i didn't know that until i observed it months back. I always though it was very normal to eat with fork and spoon. They were quite fascinated and started eating with both but it took them so long to eat. haha!
Anyway, i had fried rice. The restaurants here always have a vegetarian menu which is so much better when conpared to singapore's. But the fried rice wasn't as good. haha. We all enjoyed ourselves though. And of course we wouldn't go without taking some photos. Will upload all photos in the next couple of post cuz it's 1124pm now and i need to be in bed now. haha.
oh and Happy Birthday Weiqi!! if u happen to see this post. ha :)

oh and to add on. haha. it was nice to see kit chan singing also and it reminded me of an old australia song. The title is 'i still call australia home' with the lyrics:

I've been to cities that never close down, from New York to Rio and old London town, but no matter how far or how wide I roam, I still call Australia home.

I'm always travelIing, I love being free, and so I keep leaving the sun and the sea, but my heart lies waiting over the foam, I still call Australia home.

All the sons and daughters spinning round the world, away from their family and friends,
but as the world gets older and colder, it's good to know where your journey ends. Someday we'll all be together once more, when all of the ships come back to the shore, I?ll realise something I've always known, I still call Australia home. but no matter how far or wide I roam, I still call Australia I still call Australia, I still call Australia home. but no matter how far or wide I roam, I still call Australia I still call Australia, I still call Australia home.

I think the australian one sounds nicer. haha:p

Happy National Day everyone! i just came back from the national day celebration. haha! watched the live telecast of the NDP. It was nice to see all the singaporeans around in queensland gathered around to celebrate. The people here created a very lively atmosphere. There were like ppl singing loudly to the national anthem and taking the pledge. haha. But it wasn't as nice as how the mediacorp advertised it to be. Mayb the audience was much lesser. i like the little flying kites. haha. to think that we can even break the guiness record by just flying kites.
Oh and in our invitation email, they said they'll be providing singapore cuisine and guess what 'cuisine' there were. Fried bee hoon and chicken wings. haha. Luckily i ate before i went there. oh and there was bandung too. haha.
There were trivias during the commercial break too and one of the questions that they asked was what do the crescent and the five stars on the singapore flag represent and what does majullah singapura stands for. haha!
Overall, it was fun. :)

i know i haven posted for like half a month. haha. was busy with stuff plus school has started. Loads of things happened so i'll just write about them randomly. I watched harry potter the day it was released and the first session of the day. It was really fun cuz u can see a whole lot of harry potter fans in their costumes. Queued up to get the book too. It was at borders and i went with my housemates (ploy, mo and abby). We woke up early and got there one hour before the sale time to queue. There were ppl dressing up too! haha. I saw hagrid, dumbledore, luna, prof trelawny, tonks, snape, the weasely twins, hermione and of course harry. haha. I think i'll nv get to see singaporean HP fans so enthusiastic. quite an experience. haha. The book is much cheaper here as compared to in sg. Plus it comes with a hedwig plushie! it's a TY owl and it's cute! haha. we got some balloons too that printed: we love harry. a little embarrassing though when i had to hold on to it when we went to the market after that. haha.
Went for the bridge to brisbane run also. Think it's a fun run for charity also. There were 30000 ppl running. we (reena and i) had to wake up at 430 in the morning to get there before 630 and it was freezing in the morning (it's still winter now). It was my first time wearing jacket and track pants for a run. haha. 12km and i couldn't walk too well today. haha. Guess it's because i have not been exercising consistently. had muscle ache from my sole to my waist but it was alot better than the 21k last yr. i literally cant move for days. haha.
sch's getting busy.
Will update again when i can.
Hope everyone's good. :)
