hello hello! I FOUND MY APARTMENT AND FINALLY INTEGRETTED MYSELF INTO A SINGAPOREAN CLICK. actually its just the 10+ of us from singapore studying first year in med. anyway everything here is SO EXPENSIVE. food portions are SO HUGE (i cant finish ANYTHING) && i'm so gonna start finding work after i'm more settled down, so i can earn money for my weekly rental (:

THANK YOU ALL FOR PRAYING. prayer works all the time, and its so evident in my case. cause shortly after feeling desperate and sinking more and more into despair, God finally showed the way. even though i felt so scared and disappointed after every rejected application for the apartments that we viewed, i know that i prayed for God to lead me to the right one, and he sure did (:

the owner of that particular apartment owns the whole building actually. THERE'S A SWIMMING POOL that we can use for free. everything is included, newly carpeted. my room has a queen sized bed, and the kitchen and toilet's modern. (: in fact everything is perfect. i really don't mind paying the 250 aud for a week for it. cause its 10 minutes walk from school too. BEAMS.

anyway, really. thank you all for praying. appreciate it LOADS.

my dad flew back to sydney today, but my mom extended her flight til sunday. i'm happy cause i managed to find another hotel that's nearer school, with more shops and supermarkets all around, and THEY HAVE WIRELESS. so people like (charis charlene denzil) they know cause i've either skyped/msn with them (: i'm so happy today, cause it was just a great day. i'm fitting in pretty well, and getting adjusted. the one thing i don't like about sydney (or basically other countries with 4 seasons) is that extremely unpredictable weather. the weather the past 2 days have been cooling, around 24-26 degrees. but before that it was around 35 degrees! and the day before, it was 17. zzz. so yeah. its easy to fall sick here. :(

anyway, prayer WARRIORS. (yes huilin) next up, please pray that i find a church soon, so that i'll be able to integrate back into the christian community asap (: yupps.

havent had time to explore sydney yet. but i've been doing a hell lot of walking. i think i'm losing weight. ERPS. cause like everyday i'll walk around the whole or orchard+ps+fareast area at least 5 times. && the roads here are up slopes and down slopes. hiak. so i've been walking everywhere. THE STUPID BUS FARES ARE SO EXPENSIVE. like 3 busstops cost $1.80 (!!!!!!!!!!) no $. i must complain:

DO YOU KNOW THAT IT IS A STATE LAW THAT SYDNEY HAS NO CONCESSION RATES FOR INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS. other states there are. HURHUR.

but the evening views here are fantastic. yeah especially the sunsets, cause there is so little cloud cover. edit: hence the extreme changes in temperature.

okay i needta shit. bye. til next time (:
