Mnay happenings.........excitement drainin out

It drizzled on the day we left S'pore after spending a wonderful two weeks there. I reali do not want to leave at all...but i know its time for real life to start...its time to start learning to live independently with my dearest and start learning to scrimp and save to pay the weekly/monthly bills. My tears fall as the rain did outside the aircraft.....gotta wait another year till i'm able to be reunited with my family, my Kekicoco (Keiko is his real name..for the unaware..he's my beloved fren and dog), my Butterfl (another dearest baby dog we have), the senile but also fun loving church gurls and not forgetting frens that i have no time to meet up..

As i glanced to my right, i found myself looking into that loving pair of eyes understanding the pain that i have to go through being away from my dearest and going beyond my comfort zone. While others have to leave their romantic partner back, I am so very thankful that i would always have my loving husband and his warm family to go back to in times of crisis and difficulties. I am indeed excited about heading back to Brissy and to start settling down into our new place. Our very first home together... can't wait....

p.s for a dear fren: I'm reali so sorry, Xiao wei..i noe we have been planning to meet up for a long long time..yet we never seem to be able to get ard it. Pls forgive me k? cos so many things been going on for the last 6 months and till now i have yet to be able to sit ard and do nothing. But pls do still keep in touch k? =) To sit ard and do nothing is sth that i simply detest and i sure believe that idleness for too long is dfinitley rotteness to the soul. I'm sure there prob be some who disagree but i believe also in freedom of speech. So go ahead and bring forth your opinion.

For the past week, i have spent almost every single free moment to unpack all the boxes. And boy, i can't jsut describe the sense of achievement to see a whole pile of empty boxes and a proper neat and tidy house to live in for the next two years, Lord willing. At the moment, we still are short of a few furnitures and would prob be ready in a week or two time. One of our major problem is the internet connection. Josh is still looking for the cheapest way to get connection at our place, so we would prob have to come up to Middle park (his parents' place) or at QUT till the internet connection comes along.

Currently i have been working at this blog since last thurs and in case you are interested to know this, today is already monday and i've jsut gotten my QUT ID card and is already making full use of the internet at UNI. Talking abt exceedingly high international fees....i'm making sure that i make each cent worth...lolz...well, guess its all part abt being a good steward of our money.

Anyways, orientation is tml and prob be heading down early in the morning since it starts at 9.30am. How am i feeling? not too sure actuali...dunno why..always wanted to be a uni student in Aust but now it just feels normal and not such a big deal after all. Feeling a tad disappointed that i'm not feeling as excited as i want to be but i guess i have already enuf excitement for the past few months with the wedding, then honeymoon, looking for apartment, then heading to S'pore, then settling down into our little Hunter Street unit and now uni...Maybe thats why i can't bring myself to feel too excited abt it except that i'm glad that i'm finali getting back to sch. Looking forward to learning more things after a year of rest...and lookign forward to be challenge acdemically. Stress is bound to come but with His grace i'm sure it would pass as soon as it cometh.

I'm also looking forward to a more settled and normal life with somewhat a fixed routine again. That reali does make time pass a tad faster. Not that i want time to zoom past that there's simply no time to relax and sit back. But jsut want to be back into a routine and know that i can be productive as a student again. And also working towards God's calling for me in life. I wonder how it feels like to be a uni student...is it just like poly? ..or how does it feels like to be an international student even....i dunno if i would feel like an international student since i've been here way before uni started and know quite a bit of brissy already. I wonder if i would see aussie as like intimidating caucasian still or will i see them like how i see people back home....So many questions....wonder if i can ever answer all of them .... opps....its 3 already...time to head home to tidy up the house before Josh gets back from work tonite... we jsut got Josh's desk, a dressing table and a book shelf on saturday from Middle park and i'm pretty excited to puttin all the books and clothes in and UNCLUTTER the house. UNCLUTTERING will be the motto i'm planning to hold on to for the next 2 years with anythign that concern our little Hunter St unit. =)

Oh yeah before i go...need to tell you guys that God is indeed so good!!! Upon answering our prayers to find a job for me...Dave (Josh's boss at trolleys) got me to work on every sat starting from last sat as a trolley pusher ....=) not onli do we get to earn some money, i get to work alongside my Joshy too!!! so we usuali start worka t 11 till 6 plus. I actuali dun mind pushing trolleys and its reali funny esp when an old man with a weird un-aussie accent came up to me last Sat and said," this is a boy's job, gurl. You shouldn't be doing this..." i simply laughed...well, guess its so me to want to prove to guys that almost ...i say almost but not completely anything a guy can do (in the physical aspect) a gurl can do it too....."GURL POWER!" or "you go gurl!" (thats what some ladies who came up and tell me while grabbing a trolley from the bays.) Anyways...do get me clear, i'm not pushing for feminism but just trying to tell guys that tho we are not as weak as we seem to be on the outside, we still reali appreciate it if you:


1 open and hold doors
2 ask if we need a hand with anything we are carrying even if its just a small plastic bag
3 (if sharing the same toilet) place the toilet lid down after peeing
4 treat us like laides even when we dun seem to behave so (well, we do have our crazy times you know...ask joshy, he would tell you all abt it)
etc etc .....

KK, i'm running late to going home..got to go off earlier cos today is the 1st day that i'm walking home from uni. Josh dropped me off at uni but have to go off to Middle Park to fix computers for his sisters (i know..he's reali so sweeet and loving with his sisters even tho he doesnt say so often..its a guy thing , i guess). So just praying that i won't get lost...

Before i go....lolz...you prob be thinking how longwinded i am...i actuali took some reali cool pic of the little turtle hatchings....would post it online some time. Can onli use one word to describe our time up at Mon Repos watching hatchings...its MAGICAL... God indeed is marvellous...=) if you ever have a chance to come up here over the months of Nov-Mar , should always go up to Bunderburg to catch the nesting of the turtles (from Sep-feb) or the hatchings (Nov-mar). See ya guys...dunno when i'm ging to write but hopefuli soon..=) Take care
