From Brisbane, with love

First of all,

I really wish to thank Binghan, Amendi, Psycho and lulu for making the effort to come all the way to the airport to send me off. I was really touched and surprised u guys managed to make it. Especially those workin and studying..thank you guys, I really appreciated it. Hope the Crystal Jade Dinner was good enough for you guys..haha.. first time I feel the power of a credit card..

Before I go further , I would like to thank mandy, teh, ah du, talen, edward, benny for sending me well wishes before I left. Thank you so much and hope u understand that I had too much things on my mind to reply. So sorry and thanks a million for all your well wishes! those at the airport can vouch I almost missed my flight.haha..too teary farewell..haha..

Thanks puiwen,kz,cheryl for last min try to organise supper the last night..next time u all come here I treat u..haha..

Jun Jie and Nanba thanks for the msg before u left..hope u guys had a great time at redang..next stop Great barrier reef liao..

its winter now. when u go out on the streets its like ppl blowing aircon to ur face. its that cold.. but the sun is so glaring that you can get sunburnt..haha..sunburnt in winter...sounds funny right? its dark at 430pm and bright at 5am.

the ppl here are super frenly. no racism stuff or either that they hide it too well..many asians are here but the best thing about it is that its nice and quiet and peaceful..

the uni is like buildings in a park. with lakes and birds roaming in the middle..I can sit by the lake all day and look at the swans swimming..haha..

At night u can see the stars very clearly. however not the milky way yet, i'm still lookin out for it. i'll post pics once i can..can picture myself working here for the next 10 yrs liao..haha..kong qiu..

As some of u might know I took a great risk in not securing accommodation before i came here. But by god's grace I found a beautiful place.

Its 5 min walk to Uni and amenities. Its a landed property extremely cozy house, nice and quiet. The owner is a 70 yr old man who lives alone, Christian and is a retired lecturer at the University. He is still an honarary member there! all for 200a week! which means split with my fren $100 a week! compared to ppl paying $200 plus person! I really thank god for this. How many ppl can say that they secured accommodation the 2nd day of touching down at a landed property no less!

Only Kt is if u guys come there won't be space for u. so no choice.haha.I met jack and his gf today and he brought me grocery shopping and we ate at a super nice Jap place. next time bring u guys there. the portion is huge!he is coming back liao but the fun thing is that he is going skydiving with his gf this sat! cool boh!?

After dinner he went to play soccer in the super cold weather. Wanted to join him but better wait for parents to go back first haha..so my debut is going to be this sunday.

I'm stayin in the hotel now and its alright. I stayed one night at a serviced apartment and it was the best place i ever stayed in. Kt is the cost so we only stayed one night.

I really wish you guys will come find me on the holidays. I just found out holidays will be in NOV to FEB so pls come ..can book now~~! haha..ok i gtg..take care everyone and thanks for all your well wishes and prayers.

Ill post pics and update when and if i can.

god bless,
