so its been a few days in perth.


its been quite an awful few days. cultrural shock they say. daddy and i stepped out of perth's international airport, and were quite pleased with what we saw. trees, beautiful sky. AWESOME laid back feeling. very relaxed, calm, chilled, composed.

we got into our cab, travel all the way pass the city, and further forward, to mt claremont, where my homestay is. and guessed what! we reached there, and daddy knocked and knocked, but there was no response. so the driver offered to call the lady for us. he was really nice! cos calling in aussie's quite expensive. and people just wait for calls. anyhow, the no, was SHORT OF A DIGIT! like -.-


we were totally totally stranded.

then the kind driver decided, to bang on the door for us! and yea, the lady came out after awhile, and she TOTALLY hadnt expected us! so anyway, we went into the house. with all out luggage and stuff. it was pretty tough cos this woman had a silly little slope down her driveway, and after the slope was some stairs! super tough lugging all that heavy luggages down!

so anyway, after barely being in her house for half an hour, we got evicted! we had this convo with the woman, and she was like talking bout me staying till dec, and i was like NONO, im staying till my eighteeenth birthday, and she was saying i wasnt suitable and all that cos she wanted someone permanent. SO she chased us out!

LIKE WHAT ON EARTH RIGHT!



so POOR daddy and i had to pick up all our stuff and climb up those small steps (a few only luh(: ) and that SILLY SLOPE, and take yet ANOTHER cab down to the city, wasting 27 dollars! to think we could have saved $52 if we had just stopped at the city from the airport. ANYHOWS! the next day we went down to sch, to check wad was going on! because i panicked the night before, i called mojo, and she told me her grandaunt's details and all. but LOW AND BEHOLD. the sch didnt allow me to stay with momo's grandaunt. super idiotic. they called the woman up, and did some coaxing and i was sent packing back to the woman's house!

omg. waste MORE TAXI FARE, lets see that's $79 used on stupid air fare. YES.

couldave killed that bluddy woman man. not that i wanna curse and swear, but judging from that amount of money! makes u go bonkers thinking of how wasted it is!

so anyway, after DREADING to go back, daddy convince me it'll be okay.

i was so sad i had to live with sucha woman! ): i feared my life. hehs. and i was so sad when daddy took the last bus to the city at 7.08pm. SO SO SAD. i cried buckets when i came back to my lonely room. then the woman came in to tell me rules after rules, upon seeing my fan being switched on.

NO 1. you are not allowed to on the fan throughout the night.
NO 2. dont put on the comforters when sleeping, cos its summer.
NO 3. NO spending more than 4 mins in the shower
NO 4. no bathing more than once a day.
NO 5. NO bathing after 9 pm.
NO 6. no filling of bottles at home, fill them in sch
NO 7. only permitted to wash ur clothes once a week
NO 8. wash the dishes, and clean up the cooking area
NO 9.



i cannot remember what ready. SO ANGRY. SHE DOESNT LET ME BATHE MORE THAN ONCE!!! what nonsence is that lar! my gosh! and im not allowed to what, wash my clothes?
its not as if water here is at precious as singapore right!


CANT STAND!


was so upset and overwhelmed by everything and daddy and mummy gone, that i started crying alot! and i saw oddball online and i was SO DEEPLY UPSET. i missed nian! and then came jansen and LASTLY, SIK! wha, sik's the best, cos she's the last to talk to me last night, after my 10000 tear drops. she was sucha happy pill that i actually woke up happy today, and went to sch happy!

i have alot to thank god for seriously, though all this nonsence is stinging me.

i thankgod for the internet! i thank god for wireless, for skype, for msn, for blogs, for emails, for the air we breathe, for friends, for life, for money, for survival, for laughter, for misery.

it is through all this sadness, where we'd truly understand what joy is. all these anger that we learn wad patience is about, through this hardships, that we know what we've taken for granted.
through these strangers that we learn what love is really about.

thankyou mummy and daddy! the only reason why all this is so hard on me's cos i've always had things my way, even if i didnt, i had a brother to show my blackface to and things will justbe okay cos mummy daddy and gorgore knows what im like. inside out. daddy said im too pampered that's why i whine that the lady's very mean, and insists on staying with daddy.

maybe i dont wanna grow up, cos i love being LOVED this way. the way mummy and daddy loved me, but then again, NOBODY ELSE in the world will love me the way they do. I MISS my family, my cousins! my grandpa, auntie jessie, MY COUSINS.


blood is truly thicker than water aye.



i miss those who hold me accountable. my spiritual family too. BLOOD IS THICKER THAN WATER, no matter what.



am truly grateful for all those who've been there when i felt so homesick and lonely and sad cos of the old lady! i love you guys! sch starts tmr! will write my prayer needs and what im grateful for (:


TAKE CARE ALL!
