Happy Chinese New Year everyone! Hope you guys got lotsa angpaos, ate lotsa food, and had lotsa fun! (:

Thankfully the past few days haven't been a continuation of my rot-fest.. All thanks to going down to the International College to bug the receptionist if my offer letter was ready. And for the record, it's still not. Went to Northland, Preston and basically just hung out quite a bit with the HK girls. And while I think I spent a little too much money on I have no idea what really, it was a nice change from rotting. At least we all spent time together and enjoyed ourselves.

Went to the city on Saturday with San on a little tour of some places of interest as part of Chisholm's orientation program for the new internationals. And I got to know two sweet Japanese girls.. Masami and Kaho. They're such cute people, always laughing at me and San haha. Ended up leaving the group after lunch because we weren't interested in the rest of the itinerary though. HAHA but it was sooo worth it because I saw 白马王子 outside QV! I was walking out and he walked right past me. Omg I was so excited lol. But I think he's leaving soon, so I wish him bon voyage!

Reunion dinner with the girls on Saturday night too! Went to a restaurant at Boxhill, which is like a Chinese community over here in Melbourne. And after that we roamed the streets because there were many stalls set up selling Chinese food and what not. While it wasn't much, it was pretty nice seeing everyone having a good time. And yes, I had a wonderful time (:

Church yesterday was pretty fun, the three Northside campuses all congregated at the Bundoora location and we celebrated some special event (I can't remember what its called). After service there was free lunch, and I kinda helped out with Kico and Kaman. It was quite enjoyable! Meeting the church people and they're all so nice and friendly. After that we all went to Eva's house to make carrot cake. Ended up chopping the chinese sausages and then the girls more or less did the rest.. And Eva tried to salvage my sad fringe. Yeah, I tried trimming my bangs before the dinner on Saturday and I think I kinda screwed it up, so Eva tried to save it. Although it doesn't look any better, she claims it is. Ahwell, lesson learnt: I'll never trust myself to cut my hair again. Ever. But that horrible incident aside, the carrot cake was absolutely fab when it was done.. Tasted almost exactly like what you find in restaurants! Though I thought the raddish taste was quite strong, but that was probably just me. Then Kaman made her curry fishballs that we all love, and we had veggies for dinner too. Altogether, it was an awesome way to spend Chinese New Year. (:

Today was the start of the Welcome Festival for the international students in La Trobe, and I went because I had nothing better to do. Like I predicted, it was basically a waste of time for me since I already know the school and how things work, but I figured falling asleep in the WLT was better than rotting in my room. Anyway I finally met Celestine and her parents, and kinda brought them to get Celestine her Aussie number. Had to go rest in my room due to bloody cramps that almost literally killed me, but thank God I felt better after the nap I took. Then Celestine and her mum came to see my room, and then they all brought me out for dinner! Such nice people (: (: Brought them to Jade Kingdom and I saw Nicki working there.. Haha so damn funny she is. But well I had fun eating out and talking to Celestine and her parents. It was such a pity that we lost contact after she left KKMC, though! And to think we were such good friends last time.. But well I guess God is giving us a second chance at building up our friendship again. And with His grace we will be close friends! (:

Another nice thing that happened today was Kaman moving into Chisholm! She finally got a reply from the Residential office and she got a room in Tower 9, which is the tower that my window faces. And its really near so it's convenient to get to it. That lucky bugger got the bigger room too, I'm so jealous. And her floormates are so nice.. Got one cute Japanese guy too, SIGH ): Almost ended up teaching him Chinese today (wth?) but he had to go somewhere. Hopefully I get a chance to know him better I guess? HAHA but whatever la, I can always ask Masami and Kaho to introduce me to their guy friends TEEHEE. (:

Well, right now as I'm typing this Brian and my parents are on the plane heading here! May God bless them with a safe and good flight. I'm so eggcited that I'm finally gonna have my brother with me in Melbourne, yet at the same time I'm quite sad for BB in Singapore.. ): I really hope that she's alright, and that God will keep her strong during her period of getting used to not having Brian around.. And I hope that her studies don't get affected! Aw man I can't imagine having to send my other half (not that I have one) overseas.. Must be really hard to see him go. ): But BB if you're reading this take heart that God is really with you okay! You will survive (: And anyway, its only about seven more months till you see Brian again! :DD

Hmhmm, I guess I should be going to sleep now.. By the time I wake up tomorrow Brian and my parents would have landed! Yay :D Oh, and my vegetarian diet ends tomorrow! Double yay! :DD

Peace outtt (:
