TGIF

Ha.. im at the Riverton Library, internet is free here for 1hr
while clarissa is attending her art class at the nearby art centre.
I think its easy money for the school. LOL.
She made that easy-looking wind mobile, and the class is 15 bucks.


Her class started at 9.45, 2 hour class,
and I have to buy her lunch, cos Joe has no time to make her lunchbox.
Well, its FAST FOOD era. =p


Well.. I had mine too.. its cheap. and free refills.


I'm kinda used to the lifestyle here already.
Lifestyle includes:
1. Listening to THE COUPLE's complains about everything
2. Listening to Kids' complains about EVERY SINGLE THING. (esp Caleb.)
3. The evil cold weather
4. The mad rush to catch buses/time on time
5. The heartless short daytime
6. The starting of friendless stage in life.
7. The love for reading (library here is free and u can borrow up to 10 books for 3 weeks!! not a problem for me at all)
8. Appreciating free internet or ANY source of internet.
9. VEGEMITE!!
10. and lots more. everyday is a new learning day.

Caleb and clarissa feel ill for 2 days,
And yes, the house was so peaceful. =p

yup, thats sicky Clarissa with her sticky pad on.
Caleb yelled so loudly when the cold sticky pad was placed on him,
and scared little Jacob,
I think neighbours must have thought that theres child abuse going on.
But well, good peaceful times at home are rare.
compare to this pic of Clarissa below:

yup. early in the morning, Im again awaken by the non-stop yaking and the non-stop yelling of the kids.
I guess I'll never be late for school with such powerful alarm clocks.

Recap of past happenings.

1. Train ride - Ferris wheel ride- Boat ride- Bus ride

Yes, with the kids. (4 kids on public transport is MADNESS)
They are like fresh release from jail, seeing the city for the first time.
Gosh. scary but yea, fun.
I have to declare Caleb as a loud monster with tiny heart.
He looks as if hes the bravest but hes not.
Hes so scared on the ferris wheel,
keep yelling: "The ferris wheel is TOO BIG for me!!"
Cant even concentrate on taking pics. Keep yelling. (try to spot him, in the pic)



But Little Ja-Ja is enjoying every moment. Hahaha.. as usual.



The "china mountain tortise" family out for train ride! hahahaha...



Alrighty, i have 15 mins left to update other stuff..

Take care all of u.
Miss u people lots.

Cheers.

short recap of everything

A good 30mins read on the train,
I packed my lunchbox and milk and water bottle and headed out,
its Friday, the clock ticks so fast.
Its 1256noon here, and it is really MID DAY.
I mean mid day mid day for perth. seriously.
In SG, mid day means like hmm 5pm?
5pm here means end of the day mannn...

I prayed for good wifi while i was on the way to the library,
and indeed State library is blessed with super fast wifi,
hmm.. not that I dont have internet at home, just that hmm..
I fee guilty when i use it, dont like that.

The rain here is indecisive,
1 min it rains, I went into Myer,
it stopped.
I alight from the Cat bus, it poured.
while I was admiring the scenery outside lib,
It poured horrendously,
when I stepped into the lib,
it stopped.
like helllooooo? its so not funny.

Standing at the CAT bus stop,
next to a girl whos like 18 and dressed up like shes 25?
and here I am at 25,
looking like an 18 year old. gosh.

Had lots of fun when jess was here,
now that shes gone home,
my identity as a tourist ended.
No more pinnacles,
its me and my normal life.
And I declare Carousel my new Jurong Point.

I cant wait for school to start,
to immerse myself in projects,
feeling the adrenaline,
being a student for the last time.

The kids are hell of a din. Not that I dont like it,
but imagine 24 hrs of screaming into ur ears multiply by 4,
thats hard to like it, isnt it.
But well, the flip side of the coin is
the smiles, the hugs, the love, the nonsense talking,
the ENDless whys and why nots.ENDLESS!

Everytime i pull my china bag out,
Caleb will run and say
"Are u going back home? Can u dont go home?"
Clarissa will shout
"No! shes not going home, cos this is her home!"
Aww..melts my heart.

I called Grampa, i missed him. I emailed Dad, suddenly I missed home.
and I feel like tearing now.

Thank God for such lovely people, thank God for this opportunity.
Im truly grateful for everything. esp the cool weather. =p
