Exploring Adelaide=)

Hehe…=) I’m still doing good here… And this is gonna be a long post also. We have a city tour yesterday, Adelaide city was pretty awesome and everyone here was nice… haha… Seriously, I forgot some of my chinese, my chinese slang a bit weird now. We went to the state library and citiy library as well, their library was a bit different than ours, so advance man! And we can borrow 30 more books at a time, imagine it! We only allowed to borrow 4 books out in KK State Library.. I can get Malaysia newspaper there, but just New Straits Times. Hee… Don’t get surprised that I’ll have my leisure time at the library for the nxt couple years. Yeah, I got my library card, their service was really efficient.

The food still ok for me, but perhaps I'll gain some weight! There's a weighing scale at the central market, i found that I'm just 42.8kg! OMG... The wind gonna blow me away! By the way, I'm getting started to eat a lot nw, hopefully I'll get to at least 45kg, but say no to overweight!^^

After that we have a walk at the museum, that’s a nice place also, something scare me that the lion’s tail was moving… I thought I was the only one to see that! Luckily not.. I’ll surely go back there again^^ John was our tour guide on that day, he’s such a awesome person, I’m having fun in his english class. He said we’ll have chance to get back there for our english assignment next time, looking forward for that.

Later on we have our lunch at the food court there, we gonna get our on food since Yolanda gave everyone 10 bucks.. Seriously, the food here quite expensive but we can have it once a while after a hard work. Since we are so small in size, me and Geraldine decided to share our meal.. That bun was like so big, but it taste nice, especially the bacon and avocado in it.

By the way, I’ve got my student ID… I don’t looks good in it, but still consider ok. Haha=) Yolanda said I am so tiny when she’s taking my ID photo.. Hmm… We went to the Central Market Arcade after that, gosh! I love their market, it’s so clean.. We can get lots fruits and vegetables there, and this is what called fresh but not as like over in Malaysia.. Those shirts was quite cheap,gege! I can simply get your size here. But seriously, I think I have to go kids section for my clothes. I bought a sunglasses with Geraldine at the central market since Yolanda and John mention that Adelaide has got the direct sunlight and sunglasses and sunscreen is a must here or else we’ll get skin cancer easily.

I’m ok with the time difference here, and thank god I never had any nightmare here. The weather was totally different, so dry over here. It’s really cold during the night and I really feels that the wind could actually blow me away..Heeee… no wonder people over here never comb their hair, everything will just get messy in a few seconds! Something interesting here was you will never get to see fences and gates around, they have a fence but that is actually the bush.. Interesting right? People over Malaysia have high fences and gates just like in the prison.
Owh yea! We went to the beach after that by train.. So nice! The scenery was so nice and the sand was a bit different. I have fun with my coursemate. Haha… John was so nice, he bought chocolate and lemonade gelati.. We actually share a cup of gelati together, and there’s 7 of us. Owh, I love the lemonade flavour! By the way, gelati is some kind of ice-cream but not really like ice-cream also… Sorry, does it make sense?

Well, I have a nice day! We learn on how to take a bus and train, we get to know the places there. Australian are really nice, you’ll have to get used to people saying hello to you on the road eventhough its strangers. And that’s great, that is what make us feel warm just like way back in home.

Okay! I have to talk about today now.. We didn’t join our senior to the Adelaide show since the entrance fees was kind of pricey. It’s ok by the way, I’ll always have chance , and probably next time when I’ve got my job. Just have to think more wisely before spending money. I think that will be ok since I’m sharing everything with Geraldine, we can’t finish everything by ourself.

Since we didn’t join them so we have a walk at the Morialta Conservation Park right behind our college, the park was really big and weather was quite good . Arhhh… I saw koala bear! Eee… But unfortunately that koala was sleeping up on the tree and its nt really easy to see it. It’s ok, I still have couple years to go, I think I can explore the park out there and try to relax myself when the course started.. We waterfalls was pretty nice and we get to see clover leaves everywhere, I’ll try to search the one with 4 petals of love shape, that is lucky!

My age cared course will start on Monday, I was kind of nervous now. Just hope that everything will go smoothly. It’s time to work hard, this is what I want right? I’ll try my best to accept everything and just don’t worry about me. Although I’m still on the way of turning 18, but I think it’s ok for me to be more independent nw. Just hopefully won’t get homesick that often, I’m glad that I have Geraldine, at least we can support each other.

And here’s my address over Adelaide, you can just post me stuff.

Ong Shi Pei,

Last but not least, take care yea mommy.. Hope that you’ll get well soon. Don’t worry about me, I’m really ok here… I’m not that girl girl last time, it’s time for me to grow up right?
