Snappin outta the laziness to blog

Sorryla, can't help it if I've been too lazy to update. Rest assured I'll be back periodically. But don't hold your horses kay =)

Adelaide has been really awesome. I'm sitting out on the patio now, where there's a really cooling breeze though the sun is shining bright. It's a good life =)

I went out to the city yesterday to explore. Went to check out my uni, walked around Rundle Mall which is really a shopping street, not a mall, and figured out the public transport. Buses are really efficient, to the point where it's actually COMPLICATED trying to figure out which buses ply which routes! They have a whole stretch of maps at the Adelaide Metro Centre, which is a one-stop centre for public transport.

There's a wunnerful river at the back of uni called Torrens River. I saw a duck ambling around yesterday. It was quite funny. I reckon I'll be hanging out on the banks quite often in the future, as I would be on the patio of my house. My house is lovely. I smell gum sometimes as there are lots of gum trees around. The silence at night is DEAFENING!! Probably cos like a true Msian, I sleep so late. Hahahah it's weird to have such penetrating silence!

Glenn and Sandy brought us out for fish and chips yesterday, apparently the best around. But because their EFTPOS wasn't working, we ended up at this Indian shop instead, where we had really good beef vindaloo and tandoori chicken and some other lamb dishes, but absolutely horrible naan. Ohh I'm missing Modern already! With the mint sauce and everything. Mmm. The waiter there from Bangladesh used to study in Taylors Subang and has been to Klang so I ended up chatting a little with him. I'm always gleeful when there's a happenstance like that!

Choi Ye has been so nice. It's good to have a fellow kampung kaki around to explain things and help with settling in. It feels quite weird to have peace and quiet and nothing much to do besides writing. (Ugh Jess, I have to top up the 10 articles by end of this month! Jeez. What a bummer) This is the kind of peace I have craved for everyday back home. Not having to run around, do this do that, worrying about Sunday service, spending half a Saturday in church, listening to unnecessary noise... I'm savouring every moment of peace!

We're going to cook bak kut teh tonight. Have to run out to Foodland soon to get garlic. Yeeps, going to be fun!

Here are the thousand words!

Torrens River gleaming in the sun. Spot the duck hanging out!

A little taste of home. Happenstance!

LOVE the trees here

First view as I walked outta the place lugging my heavy backpack which gave me a sore back

My fav place in the house! Was sitting here until about an hour ago when it got too sunny

My second fav place. My room, looking out into the backyard where colourful birds fly past and go "Aaack Aaaack"

Information overload!

Hahahaahhahaha made me smile. What is with Australians!

Kay, battery running low so I'm running back to my room to recharge. Till next time. Ta! =)
