1st month in OZ Land

Poh has...

- discovered that Tuesdays are movie & pizza days! Rental of dvds from Video ezy at $2 each and pizzas from dominos going at $5.95!! The perfect combination!

- experienced the joy of jogging. Now it feels like a form of leisure activity rather than a mundane exercise.

- enjoyed cooking more than anything else. Be it breakfast/lunch/dinner. The experimentation's (breaded prawns, chinese soup) are just FUN! Surprisingly, the food always turns out yummy! Just when I'm doing up this entry, decided to just search for a new soup recipe since we bought lotus root yesterday. Can't wait to cook it now!!! CHINESE SOUP's the BEST!! oh! did i mention that my fellow cooking mates here adore campbell/english soup. So going to influence them to start cooking more chinesy soup!! Have been thinking of cooking 冬瓜汤. But couldn't find the main lead Mr Dong Gua at Sunnybanks.

- once again attracted the attention of toddlers! Oh! the kid was all smiles before the picture...

but as soon as I swiped out the camera right in his face, his expression became...

- yet to cut her hair in a month


- packed lunch to school

- felt lost during some lectures/tutorials. Aussie lecturers have a tendency to start mumbling whenever they're approaching the end of a sentence.

- missed the beaches in Singapore. Yes, i know it's ironic. Isn't it only logical that I fall in love with the beaches here and push images of the ones back home to the back of her mind. BUT, she has yet to visit any here!

- missed Sanya more than when I was in Singapore. The trip down to Sunnybanks yesterday brought back even more memories. Here's to my fellow Sanyarians:

清补凉

Think you guys can totally relate to my excitement when I saw the above food products!!

Here's to mum:

Indofood fried rice paste. So fear not! Your daughter's definitely going to feed herself properly here.

- been trying her best not to think about the food back home in Singapore. She's doing much better here than she was in Sanya.

Technically it's considered my 1st month here. Before calculations, I've always thought that 7th Aug marks my first month here. But in actual fact,


1st Week = 7th - 13th July

2nd Week = 14th - 20th July

3rd Week = 21st - 27th July

4th Week = 28th - 3rd Aug



Here's to me:
