_* Back in brissy *_

Yeap, i'm back in brissy alright.
The trips to Adelaide & Sydney were fantastic on the whole. I'm so glad to meet up with weiying & sheam in adelaide. The shopping and PLAYING MAHJONG! gosh, how i missed that. My itched had been cured in the meanstime. Hee.. The scenery is so country side in South Australia. Esp in Barossa Valley, had a ball going ard vineyards wine tasting for free! Whee! Then came Sydney. Man oh man. Walking my babies everyday is good theraphy. Haven seen those 2 in ages, but they still remembered me! Aunt Lisa & Uncle John was so so good to me! Its unbelievable staying with them (now i know why mom didn't really wan me to go to NSW and stay with them. She knows her sister too well to know that i'll be spoilt like mad!) Home cook meals and all the chauffering ard. Man. Thoes days were bliss, and breath of fresh air! Haa. Saw so much, the Blue Moutains, the Sydney Harbour Cruise, Bondi & Cronulla Beach, the Zoo and the markets. And i even got lifetime membership to the Sydney Casino. Haa.. won $10 at the slots there too!
Now, *Sigh* u know, i seriously have lotsa mixed feelings. On one hand, i'm glad to be back in bris, to see my friends again, but then, upon reaching, i realised that my housemates are all out. Hui, being busy with her projects, haiz.. i've come to realised that i do rely on her for company a lot. I guess the fact that she's the only other person i've managed to connect with here in brissy. I'm missing those days with sheam & weiying, i guess, if they weren't there, i wouldn't even considered going to Adelaide. (yesh, although aunt regina is there, but then, truthfully, i'm not that close to her, never was, isn't that much now either.) I miss sydney with aunt lisa, life's been good for those 6 days staying with her, she pampers me so much that she reminds me of mom so much.
(*sigh* i want my mommy! can't help being a baby nowadays. I miss everyone so much. Its been 3mths and counting, but the feeling hasn't faded. actually, its grown bit by bit each day.)
She brought me out, took me around, treated me dinners, she and uncle john have become so so dear to me, THANK U SO MUCH AUNT LISA! now, it really makes me homesick all over again. (Oh yeah, and to my babies - toto & mimi). I wonder will i have the courage to pick myself out of singapore and return here next semester? I really do wonder.
Its time to plonk myself back into the books again, I've neglected them so much. I'm so gonna die soon, with 4 assignments and 4 exam papers to do within a span of 1nhalf mths, i'm so so dead. But i can't seem to get my butt moving and get back into studying. *sigh* someone tell me, encourge me, shake me up! Seem to realise that i have a pattern of mood swings. Each time my life slows down here in bris, i get homesick, each time i realised that i've missed one of my best mates' bday celeb back home, i sink down again, now, when i'm pulled out from a comfort zone, i get homesick again. I really need to get out more, need to meet more people. I've gotta get my life moving, i have to motivate myself for next semester. (apparantly studying does not motivate me enough.)
Oh yeah, and to everyone out there. I will be back in dec. Come on, plan up my schedule. I wanna go out, have fun. Go for prata, coffee sessions, go partying, watch movies, go to the beach, clubbing, MAHJONG & KTV! Go clubbing, chilling! EVERYTHING! I so so so need to get out, i'm starting to getting extremely lazy, i realised, its always home and uni, other than the occassional outings and my occassional gym classes, i'm always bumming around. My diet program has flown out of the window a mth ago, (more esp so during the past 2 weeks). Starting to become a couch potato again. *sigh* I'm so so lethargic nowadays. Terrible. (attributed to sleeping around 10-12hrs everyday & arg! my headache's starting again!)
