The reality of graduating from BPGHS is still starting to sink in. I must say, Secondary School life were the best moments of my life so far (You can just imagine how primary school was for me. :p) .

It's been an awesome time~! ((:

HAPPY NEW YEAR'S EVE! A FEW MORE HOURS TO 2009!

♥ 12:13 pm

I can't believe I was SO CLOSE to getting stuck in the Singapore Flyer for 7 hours o.O

My mum had 5 free tickets to it so I went for a ride with my sis and cousins. Thank goodness we alighted just a mere 15(?) minutes before the Flyer came to a halt. God must love me :p Still, even if I did get stuck on it, I just happened tohave brought along my NDS, so it would've kept me alive from utter boredom during those long hours. LOL.

Sorry for the short post. I'm lolling about the house for Christmas XD

P.S. I can't believe 2009 is just next week! O:

Yes, I know I haven't blogged in a long time, but I feel that I should blog when I'm in the mood for it, and not because it's some obligation for me to do so. Or else, it'll just be something like homework. Lol.

Can you believe there's only about 2 more weeks till 2008 ends? To think that this year's going to be over... It has been very memorable. Truly, it has.

Anyway, about my trip to Australia, I've summed it up to two lists below.

EIGHT THINGS I LOVE ABOUT MY AUSTRALIA TRIP:

8. The flight. I actually love flying, especially if the airline provides good movies onboard. During my plane ride to Melbourne, I actually watched the movies Wanted and Get Smart [again], as well as two episodes of The Simpsons. It wasn't a boring flight at all! (Though I wouldn't say the same for the flight back home.)

7. The TV advertisements. They are so funny and much wittier than the ones here in S'pore. 8D

6. Chinatown in Sydney. It was where we found a stall in a food court which sells "Singaporean" food, like chicken rice. It's not really authentic, nor as tasty as the food here of course, but it is nice to eat something similar after living on a diet of Fish&Chips, pizza, kebabs, Indian food and instant noodles.

5. The recycling bins. Nearly ALL the rubbish bins in public places are accompanied with a recycling bin. Guess Australians are much more environmentally-friendly than us.

4. The Sydney Opera House. It's one thing to see it on a postcard, and another to see it in real life. I think it's really a beautiful landmark. <3

3. The fact that AUS$ was weaker than SGD$ at that time. Makes spending money much more bearable.

2. The excellent service. If you go to a restaurant or a shop, the people working there are so friendly and polite! They actually act as though they care about the customers! (I'm serious.)

AND THE NO. 1 THING I LOVE ABOUT IT IS...

1. The SHOPPING! I'm actually contributing to their economy, thank you very much. ;D

*******

FOUR THINGS I HATE ABOUT MY AUSTRALIA TRIP:

4. My brother's taking of candid shots. It's annoying. VERY annoying.

3. The chilly weather. Seriously, the temperature went as low as 15 degrees, if I recall correctly. It was hard to believe it was summer time. u.u But that was in Melbourne. Sydney was something like S'pore, but windier.

2. Difficulty in finding a suitable place to dine. Especially when you're a Muslim.

AND THE NO. 1 THING I HATE ABOUT IT IS...

1. It was WAY TOO LONG! I was already starting to miss everything back home by the time a week had passed. (It was a 16 day trip.)

*******

These days, I'm either at the computer, watching parlour walls TV or playing my NDS. But I do go out with my friends of course. Just recently I went over to Haz's house to play on her PlayStation 3 XD. I can't recall the title of the game we played but it was something similar to Guitar Hero. We played in a rock band and I was on guitar while Haz was either on drums or vocals. It was a blast!

Plus, last Saturday, in preparation for the EOY cosplay convention held in the S'pore Expo, I went over to Shang's place and my jaw dropped at her condo unit. I definitely wouldn't mind trading houses with her! Anyway, at the Expo, we (Haz, Shang & I) reunited with Amirul after soooo long, and met up with Hazel there too. :3 It was a day well spent!

Oh, and there's a picnic this Sunday at Botanic Gardens too! :DDDD I'm so loving all this freedom I have now that Os is over!
