Home Sweet Home

finally i am updating my blog after a week of abandon. i was too caught up with orientation, house warming, travelling around and conquering the Brisbane town. yes i did so many things till my this little baby shall hibernate for the few days. i have been complaining repetitively about the unavailability of my house electricity but now it has been settled and in fact it is such a pleasure leaving in our own home, lying on the carpeted floor, blazing the musics to maximum, unpack all our clothes and stuffs...yes i love my home so much that i feel so cosy to fall asleep immediately. so now i am publicising my home to everyone.


proudly presenting to you my
AUS 5 FAN.
the cheapest fan i ever own.

my favourite spot in the house, kitchen.
hahaa... i love the kitchen to pieces cause the stoves are hot plates and all the utensils can be found in the cabinets, new appliances like toaster, microwave, and kettle.

our small dining room and living room
i heart the shelves at the corner. looks like a display food corner.

pardon me for my extremely messy study table.
but i do really like my table because it feels so homely and comfy.
yes i am sitting on the floor studying but i guess it doesn't make any difference as long as i love that place

the passage way that leads into my room from the living room.
which most of my friends claim that it looks very much like a dungeon, underground room or cellar.

our bathroom.
i love the bulbs above the sink.
but the only problem is that the mirror is too high up and considering our tiny heights, we can hardly see ourself on the mirror.

forgive us again for the messiness of our room.
it wasn't always like that.
this is my room that i am sharing with koo.
pretty easy to recognise which is my bed.
spot elmo and titi.


that's my cosy bed.


xoxo,
shen.

Discovering New Things

this is my fifth day in brisbane. i have been exploring all kind of new things,places and people too. apart from the unavailability of my home electricity, the life in brisbane seems so nice and fun. in fact, i had no remorse for not going into monash university because Queensland Uni is undeniably superb, beautiful and mesmerizing. I love my uni so much. Ask everyone around us and nobody can deny the fact that our uni is cool!

till now i haven't travelled to the city but so far i have went to two diffferent suburbs apart from st lucia, namely indooropilly and toowong. which are definitely busier town than my so-called quiet st lucia. trust me brisbane transport is SO DAMN FREAKING CHEAP! with concessions as a student, just pay AUS 2.40 and you can ride the bus, the train and the ferry for free all day round around the same zone. so we sat bus to toowong and sat ferry back to my uni and from my uni, we have safety buses that will fetch us back to our doorstep FOR FREE! isn't life in uni is cool?>_<



speedy boat in the middle of town.how cool is that?

all of the sudden, i have liking for walking.
i don't mind walking for ages cause i hardly feel tired except for some minor muscles strains.

Toowng Village Mall
smaller compared to indooropilly but busier and they sell all those branded stuffs.
pretty cool place to stroll around.

cam-whoring sessions

i fell in love with this elmo chair at the first sight of it.
cost bout AUS 40.
which is expensive undeniably.

Reggenta Ferry Terminal

trust me the ferry is nothing like penang ferry or pangkor ferry rides.
this ferry moves at high speed, totally clean and the view of the city is magnificent.

didn't i say i love ferry rides?

sunset.

the ferry going at high speed.
vroom..vrooM!!!!!


checking out our UQ SPORTS CENTRE.
22 tennis courts, 4 squash centres, a huge hall for badminton, an aquatic centre, an atheletic centre, cardio centre, gymnasium, pole dancing classes, pilates, yoga, tap dancing.......... etc etc..how cool is that?

the theatre in my uni which screen films produced by the students.

entering the great court of my university.




the grass is as comfy as my bed back home.
people will not look at you for doing this.





i am still counting till the days my electricity is restored. till then, take care guys!

xoxo,
shen.

Sunshine State

yes i am finally doing some updates on my brisbane life.
in fact i have good internet connection and the only thing that halt me from blogging is my house problem. giving me headache and i feel sucky with elite agent especially. Damn it can they just repair my house electricty? i am spilling out finally after keeping it all up in my mind.
the house we rented was beautiful, new, fully furnished, sweet, warm and new appliances but the only BIGGEST DISADVANTAGES IS THERE IS NO ELECTRICITY!
which really irritates me cause we have been paying rent and making so many complaints and yet the electricity is not up yet. alrite enough of my complaints.
apart from the complaints, brisbane life is pretty fun.
especially with the part of meeting new people ranging from jpa scholars to malaysian to singaporean to brunei and even others. it was fun making new friends.
and MY UNI REALLY ROCKS!!!!!
cool!!!!!

indooropilly town
the first town i visited apart from St Lucia, my staying place.

my first curry chicken cooked by the senior and my first dinner with so many people

me me me..
looking excited over the food.

the enchanting lakes in my uni.
yes my uni has two extremely large lakes with duckies around.

strolling down the path is like walking in an elegant garden.

hungry piglet activated!

my sexy legs that i got after walking around for so long.
toned muscles for sure.

in the bus.


our first bread in st lucia from............

yes brumby!!! >_<

THIS IS MY UNI!
THIS IS MY UNI!
YES THIS IS MY MAJESTIC UNI!
WHICH I LOVE IT SO MUCH!


Queensland Uni most famous great court.
those grasses just look so tempting and can be my bed.

the aisle of Forgan Smith Building

okie dokie.
that's all my post for my arrival in brisbane uni.
please get my electricity done so i can really settle down.
and till then i promise to upload more pictures of my new found friends and my uni and my city.
take care!

Flying to Queensland

Flying to Queensland is another new chapter in my life and the journey which embarks the beginning of my Independence and maturity and my loneliness too.
yes leaving my home is so difficult especially for me being the youngest child in the family.
i admit i am a spoilt kid who receives lots of loves from everyone around me.
everyone paid extra attention to me and at times i assumed things for granted and neglected their feelings. i am just an immature kid who fail to appreciate the good things in my life.

and in just a few more hours before i board the plane, i realised how badly i have behaved recently. how disobedient i become in my family and how i failed to realised all my mistakes. perhaps it is too late to realise for things cannot be undone. the scars remained there.
but i promise to myself the moment i stepped into the plane that i would be a better person in future, a better daughter, a better sister, a better friend and a better girlfriend. i pledged to myself that i ought not to break anyone hearts out there.

i know my parents are proud with my achievements by far and though they do not said it out and in fact they are parents with few compliments and words, i know deep down they are proud of my achievements. and because of that i am glad that i belong in that family. it so small and warm and i love the smell of my home.

i feel so sucky for being rude during my previous days and i am just a person who refuse to say sorry as i am born with high egoism. whatever it is, i told myself i know my parents can never stay mad with me but at the same time, i gotta amend my mistakes in every ways by showing to them that they can be even prouder of me.

so starting tomorrow would enfold a new chapter of life in a brand new place surrounded by brand new people. i know i will head for the better and i know i will learn to appreciate stuffs around me just like now. i misses my family so much and being away from them makes me feel so devastated.
take care dad, mum and sis.
i love you all.

xoxo,
the ever so sorry shen.
