Today was freezing cold!!!!!! The cold caused me to shiver while still sleeping on bed! The reason-it was drizziling. And it drizzled for the whole day! Yes..frm morning till evening..think the temp was ard 15 degrees or less..
Jean was kind to invite me to a bbq at her fren’s fren’s place located just a few houses away frm mine. As it was drizzling, the bbq was cancelled and replaced with some hotdogs, bread and grilled bananas for lunch. the seniors cooked for us while we just waited to be fed! Haha! The grilled bananas were really nice. U coat the bananas with honey and cook it in the oven for 10 mins. Too bad there was no ice cream…I m sure it would have tasted much better with ice cream.
While eating, we were entertained by a dvd tt aaron (currently doing his phd) rented frm the library. A show abt ray charles…the blind singer…was rather nice…but the show also portrayed him as promiscuous (spelling something like tt..haha). in other words, the show portrayed the good and bad sides of him. Overall, I liked the movie…
Headed home after the dvd show…was bored…so went to clayton town with john…well, john showed me where to alight at clayton town…he couldn’t accompany me at clayton town coz he was on his way to work…he’s working part time at a charcoal chicken shop…but he will stop working when the sem starts on 18th.
Took pictures of clayton town. Really a cool place to hang out I would say. Could really sense the aussie style. 2 rows of shops down the whole street with the roads in between these 2 rows. All the shops are at most 2 storeyed…so it gives a very different feel. On one hand you have many shops in your sight but on the other, you have a clear view of the sky. Malaysia and Singapore just have too many tall buildings.
Walked ard. Checked prices of stuff across shops. Will be buying cookery utensils next week when I know exactly wat I need once my mum emails me the recipes. Need to buy the lowest priced products (yet cant compromise quality as well) so tt I can minimize my spending. One thing I hate abt settling down in a new environment is the amt of things u have to buy. I have spent so much money to the extent tt I feel a little guilty. Though I hate spending so much money in such a short time, I know it’s essential coz they are necessities! Quite an irony ehz?
tt’s it folks! Byebye!
