First day in Sydney

let me talk to u bout the flight there...turbulence most of the time...annoying, dun they know they hv to fly higher to prevent turbulence?? anyways, there's one moody lady who didn't like her seat by the window, and the guy, i think he's her husband or sth is like hoping tt he will be upgraded to business class or sth coz his legs were just too long...too bad dude, the flight is freaking full...

so declared my goodies at the customs, even my running shoes coz i dun even know whether tt's prohibited or not since u can't bring in any soil or materials carrying soil such as sporting equipment and shoes, so i just declared...

so my mum's fren mohdar and his friend wan picked me up frm the airport...went to the hse and met my landlord/lady and room/housemates before gg shopping for my neccesities such as quilt, quilt cover with pillow case, soap, shampoo, conditioner, adapter, simcard, and 2 weeks worth of bfast which might only last for 1.5wks....got back to the hse and found out tt i nd to pay 2wks rent first which is like AUS$270 (frm now on $$$ is all in AUS $)...tt's not including the security card which os oh so impt so tt i won't disturb anyone....everyone's minding their own business, the ppl tt's of the same nationality as the landlords tend to communicate with one another better like duh...for me, i feel freaking left out coz i'm like the only dark skin sheila in there...anyways its only the beginning...hopefully things will improve...i'm left with $88.30, tt's so not gonna last me for 1mth...its damn ex here...average cost if u wanna eat out, $10...its crazy, i nd to learn to cook but i dun feel comfortable cooking with so many ppl in the hse...certain things aren't shared, tt reminds me, i nd toilet paper and detergent and cooking oil, but i dun intend to stay here for long...gonna start looking for another place to stay after i've found frens who're willing to move out frm their current place and share together...cheer up ria...things will get better...

PS: Free meals every saturday cooked by mohdar....but he's very particular when it comes to food, always has to be halal...sheesh, this is not freedom...this is worse than freedom in singapore...loads of things to learn in this new adventure like not to curse at an operator over the phone although it was not intended for her but its just a form of expression...
