Hellooooo darlings! It's been a while. I'm sorry I've seem to have fallen off the face of the internet world. But really, I'm still clinging on at the edge of its cliff, kicking and fighting. [HIIIYAHHH!] Hehe. Finally found some time out to actually sit down and blog. Haha.

Sooo... story time. :D

Perth has been growing on me. I mean. It took a while. But then you eventually get use to the life here. Initially it felt like I was racing against a day to day timebomb. I mean how do you get to everything before it closes at 5pm?!! *mock horror* Living in Singapore has NOT prepared me for this! Finding anything 24 hours here that closes at 10pm, feels like a miracle. Haha.

If that is not enough, it's winter here.... and I havent had that since UK... Which is a very long time.
P.S. contrary to popular belief, winter doesn't mean there has to be snow.
P.P.S. Just because it says 16ºC doesn't mean it feels like your a/c at home. It is NOT the same kind of cold. It is a bone biting, teeth chattering kind of cold.
Bottom line: If you've been staying in tropical weathered countries like I have, and you get cold as easily as I do (Anybody? Nobody..? Just me..?), and people told you it wasn't really that cold... Well... winter's gonna punch you in the face. Or maybe that's just me.... *awkward turtle*

But I guess, after a while, you adapt. And that's good I guess. It's weird though. I felt like I've adapted here faster than I have to any place I've moved to. I don't understand how that's supposed to work, being without the family and all, but that's how I feel. And now that the first week of classes have started... I'm starting to get into the routine.

2 years of certainty... and then what next?

Went to the IDP Study in Australia Open Day today..

The 'rents realised that the cost to send me to Australia to study compared to studying here was still quite affordable. So now completing my next two years there has suddenly become an option. I guess some people would be whoop-ing right now and jumping around with glee. No parents, life of your own, a complete uni experience. But not me.. I can't help but get so many mixed feelings. I mean don't get me wrong, I was excited at first.. But then the thought of moving again, being away from friends, what I'm leaving behind. And for once, I'll be leaving alone. The thought of that can scare me to tears. I kinda don't wanna go anymore..

I don't get how people can get so excited about going abroad to study alone. It feels like this time, I'll have to   lose all sense of security. I can't believe I'm feeling so insecure about this.. I always thought I was adventurous and stronger and braver than this. This is gonna so daunting.. I'm scared.
