I was surprised today we didnt do any orchid potting. Jacintha told us even juicier, more like sick and disgusting, stories about pple who's working w us. Im not gon say anything here cos theres no point. Nadiah and i are the new targets.

We just have to be cautious.

And i finally saw a snake today. Hamish jus had to scare us.

Whatever it is, today's a good day.

Friday night was spent lazing at home, watching tv with Bianca at home. Just the two of us, cos Nadiah went over to Ballina to meet up with Clayton. We were both doing online shopping. I got myself a pair of heels and she got an amp.

I got myself to Ballina on saturday morning and met them at the Sundowner Motor Inn. First time i stayed in a motel. Went to walk around; discover more shops and this really nice place to hav dinner and watch sunset at the same time. We didnt manage to eat there cos it was booked for a function. Will upload the pics soon.

Had dinner at this RSL club. I was queueing for food and the lights went off. i was like BLACK OUT?! It then later occur to me that its a daily routine done in rememberance of the soldiers who sacrificed their lives in wars. Everyone jus stood still while the music was play and some words being said. It's really cool that i get to experience that cos i always see it in movies and never knew whats the point of it?

Drinks were cheap. I had so much drinks last night but i only spent $15 cos people jus keep buying drinks. It was an interesting night initially. Saturday's their retro night. It so happened that yesterday there were a few bucks night and bacholerette night out.

Ehrich and i went to walk around, leaving the 2 lovebirds behind. I got a call from nadiah bout 15mins later, telling me that Clayton had been bashed up. I thought it was though normal fighting over girl kind of fight. We went back and i was appalled when i saw Clayton with blood all over his face and clothes. The blood jus kept flowing out of his nose.

Apparently, he was robbed. The guys were asking them for smoke and money. When Clayton took out his wallet to give them 50cents (thats what they requested, the guy wanted to call his mom), the bigger guy threw punches at his nose and eyes and snatch the wallet away when he fell to the ground. Nadiah was jus so helpless, she ran away. What else can she do but protect herself. She cant afford to hav her passport stolen. What a bloody experience. Im really glad i went away. I wouldnt know how im gon react to that matter. I think i'll be so fucking terrified.

We made a report. The cops were nice to arrange a car to get us back home and Clayton to get to the hospital. FINALLY I GET TO RIDE IN A POLICE CAR. I always wanted to get a ride home by the police claiming that im lost or something when im not. Yea, i know its stupid. but yea. i got a ride. HAHAHA.

Anyway, on a happier note, i got my spongebob squarepants monopoly! its only $50. SIngapore sells them for like $90. Bloody rip off. And as usual, i went shopping. Got a pair of shoes for only $7. What a bargain.

There were 4 cars parked outside when we reached home. We were like who the hell's here. Bianca has her friends over. Chilling chatting drinking, even till now.

If u did notice, like my bestfriend weijing, my entry is getting shorter. The reason why is because work is mundane. All i do is pot pot pot. We have to finish them by 2nd week of oct.

It's starting to get warmer over here. Now i only wear a 2 thin latyerWe've been warned about snakes (they come out when its hot) at certain areas and one of them is a path we usually walk to get to the orchid house. Normally, Nadia and i will be on our guards. Today, after teabreak, we were talking and laughing. AND THEN THE BIG BUSHES BESIDE US SHAKED. It's the first time i got snake scare. I jumped, grabbed nadiah, screamed and finally ran. If there really was a snake, we'll probably be bitten or something. Rodney said it was probably the lizards. Oh, maybe i did mention before, there's a resident monitor lizard here name george. he's really harmless.

Ah. I jus thought of something to talk about. It's bout Rodney. I was telling Nadiah earlier that i think he's hum sup. He saw us holding hands, and said that we should do some show, twist men's minds. And one day, while doing work (of cos!), Jacintha told us to watch out for Rodney, sayin that he's a perv. and that he has hots for asian girls. She further added that Rodney told Hamish about seeing a tatt on my butt. Jacintha was like, 'yes. he's checking out ur arse.' Hmm..Alicia also told us to becareful of him when he drinks. He cant hold his liqour (just like gaius), but i dont know wad he does when he's tipsy though. Oh, Rodney offered to chaffeur us to Lismore and back home if we want to club, go home late or whatever as he claimed that cab rides are expensive to get back to Alstonville.

And and and. Col is a nudist. When i heard that, i was like, ' what irony? he wears 4 thick layes of clothes!'

So u've got some insights of my colleagues. ;)

Before i put this entry to an end, here's something sweet and happy. Hamish proposed to Jacintha last night on their 1st anniversary. If u are wondering, the guy's 19, and the girl's 18. Damn young eh. Whatever it is. I like the way australian kids live. They are financially independent (they get paid really well here) and arre given the freedom to lead their own live since their born. I wish i was brought up here instead of singapore where spoilt brats are being breed. Im planning to stay in Oz for a while after i graduate. I might even ask my mom to migrate.

This entry is so bloody random. Hostel is on play now.

Bryon Bay last night wasnt that fantastic. It's this place with the best nightouts. We were at this beach hotel. Down beer, tequila, b52 and bloody mary for bout $20. I reckon its cheap. The beach was really nice. Will take a pic of it when im heading there in summer. Bryon Bay has shops that sell even prettier stuffs i've seen in Ballina. I cant wait to go there to do shopping soon. Not anytime this month though because i bet the things are gon cost alot more.

Whatever it is, Jacintha and Hamish were nice enough to ask us if we want to go anywhere on friday night. Finally, we have a car to take us anywhere we want!

I signed up as a member of the Video Ezy today. I wonder if its international. I doubt so anyway. We go 6 movie titles for only $12. How cheap! And its for a whole freaking week. So far we've watched In Her Shoes, Wolf Creek and now Coyote Ugly. We borrowed really old school movies. Oh. I went to google on Wolf Creek. Backpackers murdered in NSW. It's pretty amazing that its real. Im too lazy to go on about the details. Go find it out yourself.

Because of people who do not keep their words, people who do not understand the the deal and people who do not understand that it is not an easy task to take care of a Jack Russell, my dog is homeless. I have no fucking choice right now but to give him up for adoption. THANK YOU ASSHOLES. Go fuck yourself.

It's been really cold and windy (STILL! WHAT KIND OF SPRING IS THIS?!). So cold that there's not a single second that my nipple doesnt stay erected.

The sun is out all the time but its the rain and wind that giving cold corpse like hand and face. One minute it drizzle, stop, heavy pour, drizzle, heavy pour, stop. It's so unpredictable and i dont remember when i last saw dry roads. And the wind jus always have to be blowing towards my face. My skin's already peeling. I would say that im pretty lucky as i'll be in the cool house doing orchids maintenance and potting for this whole week.. I think my teeth wont be able to stop chattering if im put outdoors to do despatch. I even shiver in the cool house.

Rainy days are disgusting because the earthworms will be out on the road. Every morning, we see squashed worms, half squashed worms and wriggling worms. Damn gross. We have to keep our eyes on the road to avoid stepping onto them. I was eewing and screaming when i thought i stepped on one.

Nonetheless, i still get to see the farm animals grazing the fields. (;

Just as i am typing this entry., i can hear the wind and rain. Do i have to tell u how cold i am? :|


The day started off great when i got up at 7am. Showered, changed, breakfast. Walked out to the main st and got on the bus to Ballina. Finally! We were supposed to go there on saturday, but we missed the bus. The bus comes at only 2 timings on weekends. Drizzle drizzle.

It started pouring when we were done shopping at Big W around 10. So we went to Donut King to kill time till bout 11am.


Earl grey tea with cute sugar satchets.


Yummy cinnamon donuts.








I had to use my new jacket as a raincoat to get over to Ballina Fair after Big W and Kmart.


Shopping was fabulouso i tell u. I spent my first 100 bucks in half an hour and the next in any half. It's crazy i tell u. I bought things from every mall and shops we visited. Shopping has nv been so good. Dont ask me how much i spent becos i dont want to know it myself either. All i know is that i brought out around 400 bucks and im left with almost nothing, Im still telling myself that i have enough cash to pull through, although i know i will be ringing my mom really soon askin for funds transfer.

That tweed cardigan costs only $10. And i cant help it but buy the plain casual dress.


Kids clothes from Big W. All below $15. The jacket's only $8. LOL. Can u really blame me for spending?


Cotton On stuffs.


From Cotton On as well. The polo tees have really nice material. I think i want to get a black one as well. And the other 2 tees were only $6 if i rem correctly. I love the material so much i wanted to get more colours, but these were the only 2 available colours. Cheap tees are good.


There's so many of those shoes sold at Topshop here at much lower prices and exactly the same. Im gon get more shoes when i get to Ballina again. Nadiah and i plan to exchange our working boots for other shoes cos we really hate how ugly and uncomfy they are. I think the shop do refunds too. This is one good thing about aussie shooping, u can exchange or refund, even after weeks of purchase. Rules and regulations varies from shops though. Anyway, i dont think i will doing any exchanges or refunds for today's shopping.


Clothes bought from Kmart. I cant find bottoms for myself cos the smallest size is 8 for ladies and im a 6. I had to go for kids clothes. Dont ask me why i buy the skirt. I dont even know why. If u are saying, why the hell do i need to many tops, its simply cos its only 5bucks each. Like i said earlier, cheap tees are good. They get trash easily anyway. Why spend so much on them? Oh. the bra's nice, doesnt look gd in the pic though. I'll show u next time Hun.


Yea i know. I bought too many stripes. See the gold bar? It's some card game. Have yet to play it. Think it's something like monpoly.


Subway was good. Had the new Tuscan Chicken. Is it available in sg?


Damn good deal. If i have a car to drive to Ballina, i will eat Subway every Tuesdays. HAHAHA. 2 feet of Sub. OMG!


Check out the cinema. How old skool can it get. I cant wait to watch a movie there during the weekends.


I thought i could go home early and rest. Not till we got to the bus stop. Then we realised that the bus comes only at 7.45pm and there wasnt any cafes around. It was only 3ish, raining and windy. We were rather far away from the mall, probably dont even remember how to trace back our paths. We had to ask around to get to the bus stop. The stop wasnt exactly near the malls. We were lucky i asked the right guy for directions. He was very clear with it, walk out next lane, turn right. After 3 blocks, see the roundabout, tun left. and then something turn right la. We were rather unsure while walking there but good thing we recognised the surroudings and eventually ended up at the bus stop. Anyway, we sat at the bus stop for one hour and then we couldnt take the weather anymore.











It was cold and grey (like England. The wind wasnt kind at all today. The weather was torturin us, we were shivering like mad.
See how many layers i was wearing. Hmm.. but they arent thick la. So yeah.







Video ezy was the only shelter and the helpless us ran in to seek warmth. We stayed there for around 2 hours. They have so so many titles. Those really rare ones, old ones and ban in singapore ones. Nadiah and i cant wait to rent them when we head down to Ballina again. We have plans to stay over in one of the motels for the following weekends. Oh. We bought Penthouse. Grins.



The bus came eventually while i was still yakking away on the phone telling Hun how pathetic my day was, i hung up, went to pick up my shopping backs, turned around and i banged my head agains the damn pole. It was so loud as if i was some jackass doing it purposely. Now theres a dent on my forehead (now i feel as though i have a can head) and its really painful. Shit man, is the dent gon be there for life? Surprisingly, i didnt cry at all. LOL. I was laughing so hard at myself and ouch-ing away.

This is the post that caused the dent. More like i caused it myself.


See u guys soon. It's only been a week since i left. Many more weeks to go.

My hair's black again. Dark blue actually.
