First week.

Been back for more than a week and week 1 of Uni had just ended. Been very busy with alot of stuff lately that got no time to update much. Well, let me start from the first week I came back to Gold Coast.

Arranged to have dinner with Sisters Amelia and Cindy on Friday, 27 Feb. Gosh... Cindy's place is really beautiful. Its a waterfront property and very huge! I hope to have a house like that in the future and accompanied by a yatch, thats life man!

Dinner was very good. All prepared by Cindy and company was wonderful. Garden salad, steak, Seafood Risotto, Abalone and Moreton Bugs. Dessert was nice. Knowing Cindy, everything got to be perfect and everything was nothing but that! It was really nice to have dinner with them once again!

I was invited to a family dinner on 1 Mar, Sunday. It was time to catch up with Shelle, Erin and Jess. Its nice meeting up with all of them after so long and dinner with them was never a bore. Told them of what I had been up to in SG and they are happy for me.
















Dinner party... all thanks to Chef Erin for the arrangements!

Week 1 of Uni was alright. No fancy stuff except all the introduction to the subjects we would be taking this semester. Managed to save quite abit of money by getting second hand books. Spent a total of $250 on all my books, saving myself around $150!! The girl whom I got them off from had taken really good care of the books and we agreed to do more business next semester! hehe. No point buying new ones as they are way too expensive and those that I bought are in fantastic conditions!

I need a new phone!! I was thinking why not sign a plan with Vodafone and perhaps make use of their offer to get myself a new phone? Not that I needed a new phone for no good reason but the volume of my current one is way too soft. People got to strain their ears to hear what I was saying most of the time and its kind of embarrassing to shout into the phone in a public place. Besides, my current one had been with me for more than 2 years and it had served me very well. So I spent the whole of last night checking out offers and narrowed down to 2 phones which comes free if I sign the $79 monthly plan.

First on the list is the Blackberry Storm 9500.
















2nd contestant is the Samsung Omnia.
















Both phones are good in their own ways as I need a phone which gives me more than just allowing me to text and call. It actst as my planner as well as some friends had realised by now. Happy with the research I done, I went to the Vodafone shop just now and after doing some checks, they don't allow me to sign a plan. Main reason is because they are afraid I leave teh country without fulfilling my contract. What the f**k! I had intentions of settling here and now they give me this kinda crap. Argh.

So before then, do bear with me if I do sound abit soft on the phone as there's simply nothing I can do. Seems like I have to wait til July for a spare phone to arrive then.It would be the upgraded version of my current Samsung D900.

On the personal side, everything had been good so far. I had been in constant contact with her almost everyday. Am glad that she is handling everything well and really appreciate the effort she puts into maintaining this LDR. So far, she had been going home early, just so she can have a chat with me on the webcam. All these does seem pretty new to me and without a doubt, made me appreciate her alot more. As much as I told myself that I had been through all these and that before, all that she had done really surprises me. For all that, I really want to thank her and give her a hug.

Although she had left SG for KL for some work this weekend, thus ending the nightly webcam routines for 3 nights, we are still contacting each other regularly. She had wanted to bring her laptop along just so she can see me online for those 3 days but I had told her not to. Firstly, its additional load and do not want her to get her laptop stolen. Secondly, its a frigging 60 ringgit just to use the Internet for a day! That would make it 120 ringgit just to use the internet! Too expensive I reckon and so told her not to bring it.

This weekend seems kinda slow for some reason and hope to get some study done tomorrow. Would be cooking at Shelle's after an afternoon at the beach and hopefully can get a tan. My turn to cook family dinner. =)
