Arhhh! Such a tired day… We have a visit to Aldgate Senior Centre today, it’s a low care facility which older people used to come here in the morning, have some fun with the others and they’ll be back at home during afternoon. I have a nice day with all of them, feeling good that I can help out with them. The older people are just cute and lovely.

Life seems to be quite nice over there, they’ll have some trip every Monday, chit chat and doing some exercise in the morning, doing some flowering, play bingo and have massage in the afternoon. Hehe… I’ve do some massage with geraldine on tony, I’m glad that he enjoy it!
It’s quite tired for me today as I sleep so late yesterday night, about 1am something. Having supper with the senior as they come over to knock on our door also. I guess we laugh too much until I don’t feel like sleeping anymore. I wake up 6 something this morning as we have to catch the bus to Aldgate on 8.30am. It’s quite scary since we just have some instruction and google map to Aldgate, luckily we manage to reach there.

Hahaha… We planning to go to the library since we’ll reach city before go back to Hosanna, guess what? The four of us get lost in the city, searching the way to library. So we have a walk at Chinatown and just look around. I bought green tea, miss it so much! It’s ok by the way, we get lost together but not one person, still manage to sort out the way and borrow some books and cd at the library. Will be going to Hills with C11 and C12 tomorrow, oops! There’ll be eat as you like session just like buffet, gotta enjoy it! I’m coming kangaroos and koalas!

今天特别累，不过就好想念华文。好久没有接触华文了，真怕自己会忘了。虽然这里大家都有说华文，但是我就很少了。刚刚去了唐人街，看到珍珠奶茶真的好怀念哦！Haiz…有好多不晓得怎么说的心情。

不是每件事都发生在我能顾及的范围内，我担心的每一件事，似乎都不在我视线之内，都不在我身旁。我很清楚有些话不能说，因为真的不能再让人担心了。我在这里十天了吧，自己也在改变，培合这里的文化习俗。有些事情会一瞬间的改变，所有都不在你控制的范围内。
一直以来不停的问自己，到底要多坚强才足够？很可惜，这是没有答案的问题。也许需要一个肩膀吧！

Hmm…我只是说说而已，没事的，我很好。

老实说，我真的不想相信。他们一直是我认为会长久下去的一对恋人。即然妙珠亲口承认了，那应该是事实了吧！Aikz…只能说可惜吧！爱情长跑了快9年，就这样就结束了，真的难以置信。我们是局外人，没什么能说的，只是希望他们继续打好羽球，健健康康的。

当然也不希望别人拿这些八卦来影响球员，因为毕竟还是他们的私生活。不过爱情确实可怕，有时候真的不是我们能掌握的。对我来说，也许需要很大的勇气才能够接受一个人吧！Haiz…还真希望这不是真的！

我好想念羽球，好像念astro，好想念streamyx啊！还有不想吃鸡了啊！

Hmm… It’s a nice day also for today. It seems that this course getting more interested than I expected, I don’t know about the others, but for myself I enjoy it! Having class with Amy today, get to know from all the seniors that her class will make us bored. Surprisingly, I love it! She actually shares her experience when she’s working in aged care home and hospital. Some of those experience really touching, tears rolling in my eyes already.

I hope that I’ll be as brilliant as her in the future as a responsible and caring nurse. I still have much time to improve on what I’m lack of for now. I’ll be going to Aldgate Senior Centre tomorrow to learn on how to take care of older people. I hope that I’ll get along with the older person and get to learn a lot of things. Oops! We need to go to the centre by ourself, hehe.. luckily there’s four of us and Chua have been here for nearly 3 weeks, I think he should know how to take a ride to Aldgate.

Arhhhhh… I didn’t know this! I didn’t know I don’t look like chinese! Lots of the senior ask me whether I’m mixed? Eeeh… I’m chinese! I still can’t believe that I don’t look like chinese. And… I just get to know that I’m those person that a bit sot sot(few people told me).. haha… it’s fine by the way, will be easy to get along with others.

Owh yea! I love the dummies! I get to take a photo with the dummies today, it’s Mr. and Mrs. Smith. Seriously, the Mrs. was actually a balloon.hahaha… I love the afternoon session in the skills lab, but time seems to be passing by very fast.

Just can’t believe that it’s Friday already tomorrow, the first week of Cert III gonna finish very soon. And soon it’s gotta be 7 weeks left to the placement. Huu… have to really prepare for that.
Yerrr… I miss badminton! I miss watching badminton live on astro. Thanks for someone who text me for the results. And really thanks for talking to me when I need someone. I miss Japan Boat as well! I’m craving for takoyaki here. Eeeyyy… I miss everyone working there! Hahaha… I’m going to Adelaide Hills on Saturday, and yeah there’ll be kangaroo shit for someone since he request for big souvenirs! I’ll take photo and post it to you!

I’ve took photo of the cherry blossom, that’s so nice! That’s why I think Adelaide is a nice place. Hmm.. but I’m not looking forward for the summer, seems to be hot like you’ll eventually melt.
I’ll have lots more to update for tomorrow and sat. Take care guys!^^

Hey guys, I’m sorry that I’m typing with english since mommy and daddy not really good in chinese. By the way, I have to use more english over here. You guys can just leave comment in chines, i can reply using chines also. Huuu… I’ve started my course on Cert 3, and it’s tiring man! I woke up about 7.30am and have all my stuff done and go for my breakfast and straightly to class after that.

I have my class frm 9am til 3.45pm, and of course there’s morning tea, lunch and afternoon in between. After that I have my english class with john frm 4 to 6pm. Ooops! So tired larh… Just couldn’t imagine this is only the first day. The lectures was like going fast as the rocket, we finish a chapter on understanding aged care work today, about 35++ pages.

Just glince through my Aspire book and later on will have to read for 2 chpt for Mosby. We went to the lab for some practical today, we started on making an unoccupied bed,gosh! I gotta be fast on making bed then. That’s quite nice, I love the dummies! Will take photo of it and post it here for next time.

Hmm… I can feel the pressure here, hopefully just don’t get migraine that often. Feel like crying already! Can I overcome those pressure? I do hope I’m enjoying my course but not putting that much of expectation on eveything I done. But just let it be wasn’t my style.

The weather here still that cold, just couldn’t imagine how would it be during winter. Owh.. My toes cramp on the first day I was here, that was too cold. And at the same time my auntie was here, that was sooo bad! Having cramp on my stomach also.

We just couldn’t change things, hopefully I’ll get used to the busy life very soon. By the way, making myself to look forward on everything, we’ll go to the wild life park and hills together with C11 and 12 this coming Saturday. Hopefully I’ll enjoy that, and its free since Uncle David will pay for it. Yeah! I’ll get to feed and take photo with koalas and kangaroos^^

Today was our free day since we’ve got nothing to do, so we decided to take more rest before course start. Gosh! Save me.. I was kinda nervous now, the senior told us their experience. I won’t get any holiday after this except for the coming larbour day, christmas and new year. And just take a look on my books, this is just for the cert 3, and for 3 mths only. Can’t imagine hw would it be for diploma later on.

I’ll be having classes for the following 9 weeks and the last 3 weeks will be our placement at the age cared homes. We have to work for 120 hrs in 3 weeks time, that means at least 8 hrs a day by nt counting the weekend. My study schedule was kinda tight, will have classes 5 days a week frm 9 till 4.30pm and there’ll be english class every Monday till 6.15pm.. Imagine that! That’s tiring…

You guys can take a look on my schedule, I wrote this on the paper but keep the one the school gave us so that it’ll be in good condition for the following months. Hmm… currently still ok with everything here but just to remember lots stuff. The weather here a bit ki siao! It can be warm and cold+strong wind at a same time.

Owh yea^^ I bought a sunglasses and sunscreen since it’s crutial over here, I don’t wanna get skin cancer! And… I should have brought more long sleeve with me, I’m freezing here. It’s spring nw and the it’s 18 degree today I think, much more better if compare to the first day I reach here, it’s just 11 degree.. I’m forcing myself to have balance diet nw, and I actually get hungry very fast, I have 4 meals in a day nw. Surely I’ll gain weight later on. Haha… not need to worry since someone said he wants me eventhough I’m fat, so touching!^^ thx by the way. Mommy and daddy will be happy if I gain weight right!^^ At least you guys know I’m doing good and I can take care of myself.

Oops! I just get to know having a haircut here is about 150 bucks! Eee… So expensive man! And the cheapest one was about 20 bucks, arhhh…. So I don’t think I’ll cut my hair until I’m back at KK. Mommy! You’ll see me come back as a witch then! It’s ok then, I still can cut my fringe since I brought scissors with me.

Hmm… I have no idea when I’ll be back at KK, surely nt for this year end. Probably will be next year. Hopefully I’ll get to know when is it. But for nw, just try to study hard, just like what daddy said, it’s what I choose and I’ll go for it so that I won’t regret one day later. Thanks for giving me a chance for what I want.

I think I’ve grow up compare to last time, I’m trying to be strong and just like in the airport that day, I’ve told myself not to cry and I did it! The daylight saving will begin on 4th October at 2am, by that time the time here will go forward an hour again, that means should 2.30 hrs difference from Malaysia.

Okay, it’s 9 something here, I’ll have to pack for my stuff for tomorrow and probably have hot chocolate for my supper and get a good rest. Just wish me luck guys! It’s gotta be a new beginning tomorrow^^ I’ll just face it and try to get used of eveything here. Take care guys^^ love yea mommy and daddy!

hehe... go to http://piggydiney.blogspot.com/ for more information since we are sharing rooms and thank god that we have each other^^

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,
101 Morialta Road,
Rostrevor, South Australia 5073.

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? I’m clear with what I’m doing now and will surely go for it. And for daddy, get more rest and take care of your health. For doreen, just try your best on your study, I’m sure you can because you are my super sister! For Jason, I’m glad that you get to apply back to work at KK, working at hospital will be kind of stress and tiring, take care on your health and all the best I wish you. Love you guys^^

Do I looks like ang mo now?

在这里第二天了，我也不晓得怎么说，需要一些时间来适应吧！在飞机的六个小时多我其实没什么睡，在飞机上吃了两餐，也太丰富了吧！宵夜吃饭，面包，饼干,salmon，巧克力还有雪糕。之后还有早餐！这是我第一次自己搭飞机，如果说不怕那是骗人吧。我很高兴至少我做到了在登机口时没哭，谢谢你们来送我机。Thx jane, josephine,福新,ah soon, chan, jason, jervie and cecelia… And thanks for everyone for texting me, thx for the wishes.

谢谢Ah Bee的礼物和祝福，我很喜欢。可是老实说，当我重包包里拿出那份礼物，看到上面的字眼时，真的再也忍不住了，哭得乱七八糟。飞机起飞的那一刻，好像所有的回忆在倒带一样，可是我知道，我带走了所有美好的回忆！

我在这里还不错，很喜欢Adelaide的感觉，很安静很漂亮。学校环境也不错，感觉好像在花园里头，宿舍也很不错，暂时不会想念大马的食物吧！因为这里有很多亚洲食物，还有烧肉呢！估计接下来这几天会吃很多吧！因为很冷啊！昨天到达Adelaide时超冷的，只有11度！刚刚没有热水所以冲冷水，我真的快结冰了！

如果问我想家吗？当然，一来到这里时脑海里的第一个念头是，我在发梦吗？为什么我在这里？回到房里的时候就真的哭了，之后睡着了，睡了5个小时多吧！不过放心吧，我会没事的，需要一点点的时间。我很清楚自己在干什么，即然是我选的，我就该面对！我相信这样会让我成长。很庆幸这里的学姐学兄们都很好，遇上什么问题都会尽量帮忙。

今天开始orientation了，真的有好多好多的东西要记，今天办妥了银行户口和电话号码，这是我在澳洲的号码+61412768042。没想到就这样3天了，在飞机上过了一晚，在这里两天了。现在是10点多吧，快乐大马时间1小时半，不过迟点好像会快个2个小时半吧！很特别的，我的班只有5个人，可能是史上最小的班，4个大马人以各欧洲人！还有好多事情想分享，不过现在想不起。

Dear mommy, daddy,jason and doreen,

I’m doing fine here, don’t worry… I should be able to take care of things by nw. It’s quite cold here when I reach, about 11 degree celcius. Adelaide is really a nice place, just take a look! The scenery was so lovely… My class was the smallest in Hosanna history, just 5 person, 4 of us are malaysian and the other was russian. My school was very nice also, I feel like studying in a garden.

I still get use to the meal here, it’s mostly asian food.. There’s cereals and milk, porridge, muesli bar, and yoghurt.. Can just get anything you want! And it’s chicken everyday… The internet was quite expensive compare to Msia, they count it by hw many mb you use… hehe^^ I actually met with my friend here, mommy! Still remember that girl I told you last time that I think she’s studying in adelaide? I bumped into her when I’m taking dinner yesterday night. She’s staying in Hosanna Heights but studying in UNISA..I bought my simcard today, it’s like $29.95 with $300 credit in it… It’s nt typing error, it’s really $300 since the charges for sms and phone call quite pricey.

I miss you guys out there? Hw is everyone doing? And that crazy kitty? Since our class just consists of 5 person, I think they’ll probably join us with the previous class when our diploma course started.. We’ll have to work harder to catch them up. By this way we’ll actually get to graduate earlier than the expecting time. I think the service over here was really good, my room was just beside the toilet, quite convenient.

Okay=) My post was too long, Take care yea everyone!
