hullo. greetings from adelaide. shall cover some stuff about today and some others. i'm using my sister's laptop now as my laptop cant connect to the fucking internet. duno whats with the wireless network here in this aussie house la. bitch. bias against Macintosh desktops.
WEDNESDAY afternoon. approximately 12 hours from departure. i went to school to join my so called new fusion group. so-called because i have yet to know whether im permanently inside or not. but heck, i still join in that day and try get something done at least. one thing for sure, i really dont wanna go back to the old group. i just feel that i cant do anything in that other group.i'll hope hard that i could make it into the new group. after fusion practice, went to dhoby ghaut with shirley and wendy in a cab. but it's free la, shirley paid. ate the usual shit at PS, slacked around carrefour for a while and shirley and her friend left us, think she has her piano classes.
me and wendy had nothing in mind to do, so we just window-shopped for a while and made an impromptu decision to watch a movie. so we watched CLICK that day. and i really like that show. nice blend of emotional and extremely funny parts. a good catch for any of you who havent watched it yet. go watch before it disappears from the theatres for good. went back home and did some last minute packing. as well as to double check, what stuff i forgot to bring and whatsoever. 915pm. 2 hours and 40 minutes from departure, we left the house in a cab to Terminal 2.
muneh is being a bitch again. say can go, then later say sorry cannot go, then later say can go again. MAKE UP UR MIND LA! he was there la, but unexpectedly, with his parents. you know how uneasy i am with friend's parents around. i just dont like it. the awkward feeling. chatted for a while before im off to the departure hall. and what a bad start to a flight, i was late for the check in. the rest of the family already went in except me, so my mother scolded me like hell on the phone. security was extremely tight. they wouldnt let me board the plane until they perform an X-RAY on my IPOD.
ON DA PLANE.
some stewardesses were hot. hahahh. thats the first thing i noticed. it was a pleasant flying trip. tip-top service, tasty food, and nice movies to watch. i watched MISSION IMPOSSBILE 4. but one thing i dislike about economy class. the seats being unable to lay flat down, which makes sleeping on flights extremely uncomfortable. the flight was 6 hours long. i slept about 2 hours after my movie and just in time for breakfast. the view outside was breath-taking la, in the last hour of the trip. i could see the sky literally transform, from pitch black to a mixture of crimson-gold. it was nice. touched down Adelaide at about 8am, adelaide time, and that would make it 630am, singapore time. where the most of you would most probably be rushing through breakfast, putting on school uniform, or pigging on the bed.
ADELAIDE, DAY ONE.
the first thing i noticed about the airport there. everything was very bright and WHITE. my eyes burn. the air temperature outside is 12 degrees. i thought that wasnt that cold but i take back my words immediately when i first step out of the airport. it's bitch COLD outside. even though i have 2 shirts on, the cold seeps through. plus,it's windy in the morning, adds on to the snowman factor. we got our cab and off to Caldwell Street, where my sister resides. and thats the part i hated most. i THOUGHT we were gonna stay in a hotel. but nooo, it's some apartment.
reached our destination. it wasnt as bad as i thought it to be. terrace house type of house and was beautifully constructed. the interior was sweet too. but it was freezing like hell though, i removed my shoes and stepped on the floor. FUCK LA! fucking ICE! and yes, thats with my ankle socks on, imagine the nightmare if i did it without socks on. the stairs leading up was carpeted, and the whole level above was carpeted, so it was great. my sister's room was a jungle. freaking messy. the first thing my mom did was nag. hahaha. served her right.
i so wanted to shower la. i have a head full of wax. then here comes the nightmare. the heater is busted. what the fuck. so i thought i could just shower with cold water instead, but after feeling the condition of the water, it was suicide. freaking ice. really no choice, so i just washed my hair only, to remove the wax and get some shampoo on. my head froze upon water contact. but good thing i still got the wax off. so my parents and sister went shopping while i slept in her room from 10am all the way till 5plus. i had no idea it was 5 plus while walking to the neighbouring restaurant for dinner. that's australia for me. sky turns dark from 5 onwards, and dark as in, night sky, not evening. and it's only freaking 5plus in the afternoon.
dinner was alright. i thought it was gonna suck. back in singapore, u walk into a restaurant and it's airconditioned, but here, i walk in greeted by a heater and it feels like heaven. i cannot tolerate the cold any longer outside. finished eating and my sister's kind friend sent us back in her car. but we didnt go home straight la. i suggested to go to the mart nearby so i could have some midnight munchies as i'm bound to have insomnia. my sister sux, she didnt wanna go, but after some persuation she finally decide to bring me there. and the night air, is chillier than day. the streets were dimly-lit and it was quite scary for a person to be walking alone at night. my father dressed like some hiphop star. he was wearing my sweatshirt, with a hood over his head and inside, he still wore a yellow beanie. fucking hilarious. i have a hiphop dad now.
reached the mart and i bought some rainbow cookie and a bag of tortilla chips. the mart has sooo much stuff that we cant find back in singapore. i'm going back there again soon to restock on items im gonna bring back for friends. on the way back, i saw something ugly. a freaking COCKROACH!!! inevitable la, it was near the dustbin. but one funy thing is, the cockroach is moving like a turtle. super slow. hahaha, maybe because it's cold out there. got back home and the rest of the family all turned in. freaking early la. only like 8plus, singapore time. so i took the chance to use my sister's laptop to go online and blog. ohya, i took some pictures today, but unfortunately, i'll only upload them when im back in singapore. because all of them are in my phone.
the time now here is about 12am. i still dont feel sleepy. i'll find something to do. today's review covered. tomorrow, most probably would be shopping day for me. since it's so retardedly cold. i'm gonna try pull off something. put on 5 shirts and see whether i still complain of cold. alright. good night.
somehow your words,
from the way i heard them, are haunting me
and the tasteless dreams that filled my nights
i may be sad, but i'm not weak
i'll always be waiting
