Yay! Found the minimal brain capacity to blog again. Haha.
Y'know, I'm beginning to think that the series of misfortunate events I met with, were meant to be forbode something larger, darker and more misfortunate - the passing on of my grandfather.
I was never really close to him. He was this distant figure of much silence, respect and peculiar warmth during the conscious days of my childhood and he gradually became just a distant figure of respect. We didn't use to see each other very often - probably less than ten times a year - and even lesser after his bout of diabetes attacked his feet. Even when we met, we hardly converse pass three lines. The latest memory I have of him is probably during the hugry ghost festival, of him as an angry old man. Since he fell sick a couple of years ago, he became increasingly grouchy and unhappy. Perhaps if he were more positive, he could've lived longer.
When I got news from my mum that he was in coma, I seriously had a fairytale thought that he would wake somehow. I don' know why I still believe in miracles when none had came true when I wished for them. Ha. But seriously, his heartbeat was only revived after thirty minutes - what are the chances? I guess at the back of everyone's head, we all expected the worst.
Then the worst came. I was rather calm upon receiving the news. It was only after a few hours that I started crying, not because I was grieving but because I know that the regret of not being able to pay my last respects to him will live with me for life.
I'm really okay but there's just this constant tug at my heart that reminds me the distant figure is now gone forever and I didn't say goodbye.
I haven't blogged properly for a month but I finally worked one percent of my brain cells to publish my previous haphazard posts. Haha.
So, it's been fun since I've came!
Been going out a lot, cooking a lot, shopping a lot, travelling and walking a lot but we haven't really got down to doing the house hunting, which is supposed to be the 'more important' thing. Oopsie. Heh.
I've spent like most of my money already so I guess I'll have to scrimp for the rest of my stay here. ): But that's okay cause I think I've grown overly fat. Boo.
Anyway, I've this whole series of unfortunate events ever since my arrival!
First, after clearing immigration customs at Perth, this officer stopped me and asked me a whole lot of weird questions. I'm assuming it's a random thing but hello, he asked me things like who am I staying with, a male/female, how long has my friend been here... I mean, if he asked how long am I intending to stay that's okay... Seriously WEIRD.
Then, my bag got sniffed by the quarantine dog (not everyone got that) but that's quite alright cause the dog was really cute - saving grace.
Then, the korean noodles that the love's parents bought for her got confiscated cause there wasn't english description.
Two days later, while waiting for the bus, this insane lady came up to me to ask for ciggarettes but I obviously do not have any and so I said I don't have any but she insisted that I had but just refused to share it with her and she started going on about how I will "never ever fit in" cause I'm from a different country and she made funny faces at me like pulling her eyelids back so her eyes become slit-like. I was quite shaken at first but it's quite hilarious, now that I'm thinking back. The lady later got dragged back into her house by a man she was initially quarrelling with. I'm assuming he killed her already. Haha. The love didn't get any of these for two whole months and I got it shortly after my arrival. /:
Then, on the same day, the bus we were on, went slightly off route and missed a stop so it had to make this huge U-Turn. It's not a big thing but it isn't something that happens very often and it isn't exactly a good thing, right?
Finally, just a couple of days back, we stepped into this place called Vintage Cellar or something like that, cause we wanted to buy some alcohol for the gathering at home but were being stopped at the door cause they needed 'proof of i.d'. The person said any photo i.d. but refused their student i.d, which has a PHOTO and D.O.B. Luckily I had my passport so I got in and bought it but that idiot kept saying if I'm buying it for them, he can't sell it to me. I mean seriously, WTF. When I asked him if I'm supposed to ask him for help or take them off the shelves on my own, he replied sarcastically "well, they're pretty much locked up so it'll be kinda hard for you to do so". Seriously, I wanted to say fuck off. If it weren't the only shop open, I would've walked out empty handed. AND when other angmohs walked in, HE DIDN'T STOP THEM! THEY LOOKED LIKE THEY'RE BLOODY UNDERAGE, for the record! I was really pissed, for like few hours. I am now travelling, I am a TOURIST helping to booost your fucking economy and feed your worthless self okay?! Sucha rude fucker!
I seriously hope that's the end of it man.
Like seriously, ugghh!
I am hungry and bored but I'm lazy to cook and move. Haha.

It's like four in the bloody morning and I haven't finished packing! OH MY GOOOODNESS!
I gotta leave home in two hours! YAY!
I hope my luggage isn't overweight...
Y'know my dad asked me to just bring "a few t-shirts", even when I officially go over to study??!!
SIAO.
I miss my bunny already. ):
I really hope my dad will be patient with her.

I didn't like Tyra Banks in her talk show when I watched it previously.
It's like so overdone... So not funnaye at all!
But I don't know why I watched it again. Haha.
I think it's cause there's Nicole Richie and she said "Paris and I are not friends". Haha!
Anyway, after the longest time, I still haven't finished The Truth About Diamonds. It's an okay book, not very engaging in my opinion. I just keep guessing which character's actually Richie and which is Hilton and whatever...
Tyra Banks said her favourite shopping place is the 99cents shop and she goes there all the time. I think mine's Chanel? I just shop there, no.where.else.
Puhleeeze! Uhh!
And she was the only black model I likED... /:
