Not smiling... Think i lost my smile... yes the sunshine smile is gone. Not for good i hope. Nothing to smile about really becoz everything seem so mundane... not that life has lost all meaning but just nothing to smile or laugh about. It's a tranquil kinda feeling. It's nice to have it... yet, it's too peaceful. Nobody cracks sensible jokes nowadays... not criticising my friends me myself has kinda lost the sense of humour! You know.. Singaporeans have our own style of jokes... it just doesn't fit into the picture in Australia.

Today i went to do some groceries in Woolworths (its similar to the FairPrice in Singapore). It's situated in the Indooroopilly Shopping Centre, just next to my apartment. Yep. It's so convenient. It's like having Suntec City Shopping Centre next to me. Haha.. but i don't shop alot becoz its so expensive. I won't mind spending if its my money, but IT'S NOT! It's my parents hard earned money and i don't wanna squander it for my own pleasure and comfort. At least ot here. Oh but the Roxy and Rip Curl items are just so CooL!!! *Argh*

I always quicken my past when i am about to reach the stall.. just so i won't be tempted to purchase uneccessary items. Yup... so i ALWAYS spend items on food! Haha.. and i can shop at Woolsworth for 3 hours or so.

The supermarket is HUGE!!! As big as Carrefore i should think. YES!!! Humongous store with a whole variety of unheard brands to choose for. The fruits are huge as compared to Singapore. the Onions are double the size.. they got triple the size... depends on how much onion u need. Anyway, went there with my company of friends... all girls! Hmm.. it shouldnt be weird ba... i don't know a single guy who bothers to cook himself a homecook meal. Lazy i guess... my flatmate is one good example. He can cook up a storm, but... on usual days, he just eats out or just settle for a pack of instant noodles.

Think my accent has changed. Usually when i speak to and Australian, i notice a frown and more than often, i have to repeat myself twice. AND I HATE REPEATING MYSELF! Don't ask me why, i rather forget about asking then repeat myself. So today my friend was looking for cloves and asked for assistance from the staff of Woolsworth. The lady couldn't understand her so my friend rope me in to help convey the message. It's just simple english mind you. Anyway, i just asked on her behalf and i was understood! Do you know the feeling of finally being understood! Haha.. obviously you guys in Singapore won't! I tell you i was like amazed! I thought i have to repeat myself and slang to get the message across.

Interesting bits for the day

Foreigners do not understand the word thumbdrive. The correct word is USB! Don't roll you eyes.. my friend had a hard time explaining what a thumbdrive is.

Birds are vicious! Oke not all.. but the magpies are! There has been news reports that magpies attack humans. You must be thinking... aiya the person deserves it.. who ask him/her to disturb it. YOU ARE TERRIBLY WRONG!!! These birds attach for no qualms or reason. What bird is this? This is called a MAGPIE!!!! How do i know? I had an encounter with it. I was walking out of the school building when the STUPID bird PERCHED on my head! And i shrieked! So embarrassing... i tell the bird was enjoying itself. stupid bird.

A picture of how the stupid bird looks like.


Plenty of magpies in spring. Alright got to go! Chao!
