and i visited my homstay family on 3rd day. yupps i saw the house, it was really nice, but dark. haha. they have a fireplace, two cats, one called pixie one called binty from himalayas. (: and yupp, its an aussie family, with an adopted daughter called min from thailand (came here when she was six), and another three international students, iris and renee and chris. but chris just left recently. (I HAVE PICTURES TOO, next post. heh.. yupp so i get along quite well with all of them, and after that, went to auntie eunice's hse for dinner. had chicken wings, herbal soup, fried spring rolls, noodles, rice, sweet and sour fish, and my fav chilli! hahas. had pandan chiffon cake for dessert too okay. that was like my last time eating food prepared by FAMILY. i miss mum's cooking! hahaha. then auntie vikki (auntie eunice's daughter in law) sent us back to hotel in 2 cars, and i sat in her sports car hahaha. it's a red Audi okay.cool? hees. yeahh it went fast! she's a GP and her husband is a doctor at Adelaide hospital. i find them so cool. doctor marry doctor heh. den HOMESWEETHOME at apartment hotel haha.

yupp, then next few days were eating (had chinese food, vietnamese food, japanese food, yum cha-dim sum (yumyum!) etc hahahaha) and shopping and visiting the state library, muesum etc. and met some friends for dinner. and on sunday, mummy's birthday! dad and bros left adelaide. but we celebrated her birthday on sat having dinner at stonegrill it was AWESOME. its like they give u your own grill .. stone? haha whatever its called, den seafood, or steaks, den u grill them yourself. hahas. I LIKE MY COOKING heh esp my grilled butter burnt prawns. heh. (yes yes i have pictures too, NEXT POST heeeee)

yupp happy birthday mum.


and yupp!i cried loads when dad left. )):and after was with mum. had thai food with her in one of the next few days. and moved into homestay that monday. 23rd june.

and 25th school started. it was quite boring cus its just orientation, but yupp, friendships forged, and it's a beginning of a new studying journey. GRACE MUST STUDY.

hahas so now school has started for 2 weeks already, and im coping quite well (: doing all my homework early ((: hardworking okay. haha. yupp and aiming high distinctions =D

be proud of me love!

yes and homestay food is really not bad, she cooks western and sometimes asian food. rarely though. but steaks and lamb casseroles are yum. and min is always cooking asian dishes like vietnamese noodle soup etc. heh. have pictures too hahahhaa, next post. =P

so, everything's good here. Adelaide isnt much a scenery place, except for up in the hills or victor harbour, but its more of a small state with good shopping and yumyum food. (: mix of all countries! esp at chinatown and rundle street. so.. come adelaide if u can one day! =D yupp, went to harbourtown with xianxu, alex and marshall (le cordon bleu seniors) one day to shop! harbour town is a place which sells really cheap stuff. bought two shorts at 5 dollars oz each and a pretty dress from justjeans at 5 bucks too (: and almost wanted to buy havaianas since it was original and 3 for 20. but it didnt have the size and colour i wanted ): I HAVE PICTURES TOO, next post okayyy.. sorry.. ):

yes and another day, i went shopping for clothes at rundle mall. and i spent a lot! buying high waist skirts and pretty tops, dresses and winter clothes. =D and pretty shoes for school.

hmms. i bought 9 dollars cheap X shoes and used my markers to draw smiley faces and wrote stuff on it heh. and my friend evelyn(local aussie) did half a shoe for me by drawing this cute face right in front of the shoe with my red marker heh. looks something like this but more sophisticated =P heh. okay i shall take pic and show u another time okay heh.

and so, school has started for 3 weeks already, and im quite used QUITE, to the weather, but i still feel really really cold. heh. yupp so.. it has been good! everyday's almost a routine where u go to sch from 8.45-1.30 (everyday diff subject), then after school have lunch with different cliques at david jones at rundle mall, or adelaide penang hawker etc haha. or sch cafe etc. heh. yupp or sometimes don't eat but go home and eat heavy dinner (:

yes so ppl, study really hard i know mid year results for jc just came out, those who did well hooray and those who didnt just continue to work hard, stay focused and be disciplined. study hard and what u put in, will definitely reap. (:

KEEP IN TOUCH and I LOVE YOU ALL.
