yup..the title pretty much explains how i'm feeling...
i let my guard down...gave out details via phone which i shouldn't hv....made an ASS of myself by assuming...hence lost all my money in the acc...fucked up shittie country...when it comes to security, seems tt only their immigration works...who sends atm by normal mail?? who allows someone to withdraw a lump sum with just a card and stupid password...they shld sooo ask them for ID and even if they lose tt get a letter frm the embassy or sth stating tt they lost it...
gotta move on in life...focus, get tt degree and return home for good...i love SINGAPORE!!!

first sat
woah..its almost a wk since i've been here...gosh time really flies..
went out for lunch and movie with mohdar today....enjoy his company coz he's the closest thing i hv to malay...i swear there is no malay in sch (maybe just 1 malaysian guy but he may be indian)...he's a funny guy and my appointed guardian...ate fish and chips and then kfc...gosh, damn full after tt...watched "The Kite Runner"...gd show man, i really recommenf it, awesome...and thnks to my student card, i get a discount and only pay $12.50 for a movie instead of $16...
split up at ard 6, he nds to surf the net and look for an apt while i went to paddy's to do some grocery shopping... spent like $49 in there..nd to calculate how long it'll last though...hope it lasts for 2 wks at least...my mum asked if $1200/mth is enough, i think so...it may be more than enough act...tt got me thinking tt she has to at least set aside S$1600 for me...plus she has to pay the rent, phone, cable and electricity bills, car loan, banks, petrol and groceries...does she hv enough?? i really wonder...tt's got me feeling worried...and i miss Baby, my dear cat....miss his smell, purring, scratching and biting, the way he pounces on ur feet to bite it, licking ur hand or feet, his soft but smelly fur...i miss him dearly...my family, my grandma...God i nd to do well and do my family proud...get thru usfp and enter vet sch, graduate with an honors degree...
hope my father would chip in some of the responsibilities he has as a father...lessen the burden of the family with me studying overseas...
hv got the basic neccessities...might nd to buy a logbook for practicals...wanna go for the skiing trip in august...$550 if i'm not mistaken...i bet it'll be fun, since i've nvr skied in my life and would just make a fool of myself...
hope papi helps and i swear he'll hv the more respect frm my family and be proud and feel fulfilling as a father...
P.S.: My school is in the red zone district...daylight robbery happens, would safety = walk fast, play smart + pepper spray??

USFP orientation...
first day was kinda boring....felt so left out....chinese, indonesians everywhere...even if the're japanes, korean or thai, i couldn't tell coz they all look alike...i was wondering where all the singaporeans at....finally found a few at the end of the day whn the staff were returning our passports...yay..
so today we had a country grouping, so we met all the singaporeans in the sept07 and feb08 batch...how exciting...though felt kinda shy, though i'm like the oldest girl there...kinda sad...the rest were 17 and 18 this yr...the guys are 23...went out to Pavarotti to eat pizza...it was real good...thin crust pizza are the best...and we're most likely to go out for dinner on sunday to celebrate chinese new year :D...had maths and chem test today...its just to see how well we know the subj...after the math paper, finally know how rusty my math is...but the chempaper was surprisingly easy...its like primary sch sci...haha, but of course it wouldn't be tt easy for the actual chemistry subjects...lots of english in there so might be tough for some of the non-english speaking students...u shld hv seen how many ppl sat for the chem tests...there were loads, not sure if they knew they only hv to do it if they're taking chem or they're just following the schedule...the staff there were shocked by the numbers haha..
on the way hm, i was approached by this oz gal in blue...knew she wanted to start a conversation so i took off my earpiece and the first thing she asked was,"Are you happy today?" i'm like, "yeaah". guess she wanted me to join/support some youth campaign trying to promote a healthy fun and friendly lifestyle or sth...haha, kinda new to this..and on sunday, its the first time i saw ppl selling raffle tickets...
bought 2nd hand textbook frm this girl lita, she's frm anderson sec, indon though, currently doin nutrition in usyd...saw her notice on the college board...sms her and tada...i saved more than a $100 on books...talked to her for like 40-50min at world square...haha finally a gd long conversation in a while..flipped through the books...looks kinda secondary school-ish...but i may nvr know....haven't read anything yet...haha but the pictures are pretty...
finally found the cheapest dinner ever...mie goreng sedaap...omg, its the cheapest thing i've bought so far, $0.40 each, i bought 2 packs...askedthe lady how much it will cost if i buy a whole carton (40 packs) and she said $10....omg she's like my saviour tt could last me for 2-3wks...even a mth or so coz i can't possibly eat the same thing everyday...so bfast has been toasted raisin bread with margarine together with milk...almost getting sick of tt, but need to finish it b4 it expires...then will i hv my choice of cereals, or nestum...oh yeah...finnaly found those microwavable popcorns....haven't tried it yet but yeah, i think it will be good...currently waiting for my clothes to dry in the dryer before i can iron it...might do tt tmr though...waiting for little britain to air..hehe
gdnite mates...
PS: current time is 8.32pm....3 hrs ahead, after summer, it would only be 2 hrs ahead, GST+10...this is due to daylight saving in summer...

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...
