It’s 40 degrees outside..

But fortunately i have an air-conditioner in my living room. So all my studying has been shifted to there since it is on 24 hours a day cos of the crazy heat! And fortuantely my room is nearest to the living room so i can open my door and let the cool air seep into my room. Due to the crazy heatwave outside, i have tried and tested plenty of solutions/ways to keep the room cool and here are my takes on it

1) Do not on ur lights in your room! keep it dark. light bulbs create more heat!

2) Close ur blinds! keep ur window shut and only opening it in the evening!

3)hang wet cloths near the window! helps keep the air coming in cool

4) as the bed is crazily trapping all the heat, lay a damp towel on the bed for 30 mins b4 sleep. n viola! cool bed for u to sleep on when u remove it

5) Do not on the fan in the room during the day, only circulate hot air n make it feel hotter.

I have been drinking so much water, barely water, cooling pear drink but i think due to the heat i lost weight again..  this is bad cos if this continues i will disappear into thin air.. i am eating very well too.. well you all shall see in my next post the amount of food i am gourging myself with..

Anyway as i sat in the living room studying, looking out of the balcony , into the crazy heatwave..  i missed home even more! 2 weeks le.. yea i am ok.. but i feel that i am just displaced from home. I feel like my whole body was taken out of spore to here without its consent. And i have to adapt to it.. yesh i am adapting but still miss home.. everything is so familiar here.. i am still stayin in the same old room same old place.. ppl are still here.. but is so not like home..

i am a home girl eh..

She doubles up her fiery temper whenever she wants leaving no mercy to us. Heading to the beach tomorrow and obviously not for a sun tan or what, i am sun block queen so i will avoid the sun at all cost..haa unless its with every1 ! for a chilling out session at a cafe.

4th day here. I have unpacked everything, bought all my groceries and necessities. Went for the first placement at Chrities on thur, did 2 therapy session plans already going to see my clients and assess them next week. It is going to be a step step learning curve for me. But i think i will enjoy it.

The first night back here was shit. I was crying and crying. My room didnt feel like my room cos deco has not been up yet until the second night. Cried to my boy and whined that i am not suited for overseas studying and why am i over here again! No family here, no boy here, i cannot survive. But i guess it was the transition period, i felt that i just left this lonely place not long ago so what i doing back here again. ARgh.. but alright.. cried to sleep and i guess i was really exhausted cos the next thing i know it was morning. Been feeling much better these few days, almost normal ->. I guess i have to move on eh so i can return home faster too.

Yes and to cheer myself up further i went out for a chocolate feast! argh.. haha.. i ordered a dessert platter! hahahahah. It was actually to celebrate connie’s bday so below are the pics.. haha which i can only provide links till i bother resizing them.

BYE..

February 25, 2008 by shellless

Bye Bye Singapore, bye bye my family, bye bye my boy, bye bye my frens.. I am off to Adelaide once again. I will miss the company, the warmth, the comfort, my princess room. My heart always whinches when i leave, it feels heavy and sad. Dunno when i will be back again, hopefully soon.

I will miss the sights and sounds of the buzzing city as i live among a tempertate forest with wild spiders and snakes.. haa ( ok nicer things are kola, ducks and kangaroo).

Hear from me soon, i promise i will update when i am there (of cos i have nothing to do there -<)..

okoko i will take care of myself too!

New Place

February 17, 2008 by shellless

I am sick and tired of blogspot’s tiny framwork, or should i say all skins in blogspots are tiny!!! (maybe i dunno how to choose). After seeing kl’s and wanni’s blog, i have decided to switch to wordpress, the space is much bigger, easier to upload things. Still figuring out how to use this so there are any mistakes please guide me!!

 oh yes in case anyone is wondering, those are my eyes up there.. in other words what i type here is through my perspective, through my eyes ->

Unfortunately i am leaving sunny singapore in a week’s time to oven-baked adelaide. Sigh how time passes! Every1 was saying “aiayh 3 months, v long leii”.. No its freaking short! Am i ever ready to return to Adelaide, the ans will always be NO! Maybe not alot of you know about it but i am sucker for home. Been having nightmares about leaving Singapore, sometimes i get all emotional and cry at night. I hate packing and the thought of dragging out my boxes from storage to unpack in Adelaide irks me further. But i know i will live through it. Well i am now officially a 3rd year student, so inlcuding this year its only 2 more years! Hopefully many things will work out in Aus and may things go smoothly so i can frequently come back home (if i take my honours offer and base my thesis in spore).

 ok back to my life or let’s say my eyes! Haa.. i went to chingay with boy aka ‘monster’ and his family. pcitures on facebook. I dunno how to upload pics to here yet..still figuring it out! RAH.. (it seems like i have to re-size my photos so that a thumbnail version can be uploaded.. is it the case?)
