Global Kecohers

Yo yo!! How's everyone?? Hope all is well!! Goodness, i realised it has been aeons since i last blogged!! Haha.. okies much have been happening in good ol' Adelaide.. I'll try to fit in as many as possible in this one post.. coz tis will be my last post till after finals *shivers*

So, it has been bout 10 mths since we set foot in this peculiar little place.. Was really not used to it at the begining, as everything closes at 5 (!!) n there's barely anyone on the streets after.. except the drunkards who would go around high-five-ing ppl!! No mamak, no clubbing, no kecoh peeps (OMG! tis is the only complete grp photo of the kecoh peeps! tsk! note to self: must. take. more. photos.), no late night movies, no nothing! Just un-happening! The tallest building here is Santos, which might be as tall as One Utama! (i kid u not!)..Hindmarsh was nice, but not a place i would wana stay in the long run (note: fungus growing on carpet! utterly gross!).. We were lucky we got a place in Windsor a couple of wks later Welcome to our humble abode!! This is where kai, bry n i are currently staying!! There's a tennis court smack right in the middle (if u havent already noticed), a swimming pool, a spa, a gym n a bbq place... hahah.... I know.... lovely isnt it??

Orientation was nothing like IMU, it was just a week of tutes after tutes on communication skills.. The only thing to look forward to during orientation was the free cookies and drinks! (so Asian of us hey!) hahah...

Oh this is our uni btw.. nice nice nice??

Things were looking bleak, the temp was 40 degrees (it was one of the hottest summer eva!), was begining to regret changing to PMS.. *tear* Okie drama, no la, it wasn't tat bad.. really!! There were happy times too, like exploring places (there was once, when we were still staying in Hindmarsh, we got home late n were kinda sesat, we somehow ended up walking thru the cemetary to get bk!! *cue freaky tune* oh n did i mention, Hindmarsh used to b a hosp! *jeng jeng jeng*), our dinner cook-out, lepaking at Torren's,no exams,got to know ken n leng hui better,ken's penchant for "High School Musical" etc~...fun stuff!=)

Things started to look more promising, I discovered BOOST

Rundle and Glenelg and we started our rotations. All the IMU kids were sent to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital.. a really nice hospital i must say, would definitely apply for my internship there! The rotations were great, ppl were heaps nice! Got to know the Villagers (the M204s, they are staying at the uni accom called The Village) better..been spending my wkends over ever since!

Thus far, things have been awesome.. I guess Adelaide has kinda grown on me, begining to love this place more! The people, the laidback-ness, the simplicity...the punk-head pigeons, the crazy weather..everything! =) Im amazed how certain circumstances force you to grow up..I reckon i've personally grown so much in this mere 10 mths.. From my first time taking the bus, to grocery shopping, to cooking, to doing everything (mostly) myself.. Mummy says im a more independent person now!! *pet pet* Of coz i still miss home heaps!! (tat explains the gabillion pics plastered all over my wall!) But yeah, its all good! I guess we should always take everything into our stride as every cloud HAS a silver lining (ref: ken)

Anyhoos, I'm so malas (omgz, i so miss speaking in BM) to type somemore, i'll let the pictures do the talking.. I'll try to upload them in chronological order (caution: picha's galore ahead!).. hav fun! go crazy! =)
