Life is just so unexpected. I've been preparing to move to tasmania for the last 2 months, gearing myself up to live in a small, quaint & peaceful environment for 6 years. Then suddenly everything changes. Yep I'm no longer going to tasmania people. I've been accepted into University of New South Wales!!:) Hello Sydney!!

I was so surprised when the lady from UNSW called me on tuesday afternoon to offer me a place. Yeah so its been a hectic 2 days. In between visiting relatives and pigging out on new year goodies, I've been doing all the neccessary paperwork and trying to settle my accomodation in time for my departure next week. I'll still be leaving on the 20th. I think God really planned out everything for me. My original flight to Tasmania would have required me to transit at Sydney, so my ticket isn't going to waste!Plus I arrive in Sydney on Monday the 21st, just in time for orientation starting on the 22nd. I really feel very lucky.

Not that I wouldn't have been happy in Tasmania. To be honest, I would really have enjoyed the peace and quiet there. My relatives and parents' friends keep telling me to be cautious in Sydney, cos its a big city and not that safe. It'll be really different from tasmania. But I know I'll get a lot more exposure studying at UNSW and receive a better medical education there:) Sydney will be slightly more expensive than Tasmania but my parents say its worth paying for a better education. Still feeling quite surprised myself. Now I won't have to bring as many winter clothes. Heh and Sydney's got a lot of nice chinese food.

Haha oh almost forgot..HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone!Don't know why but I'm not really feeling the festive season this year. The food was great as usual, and it was nice getting together with relatives and family again, but I guess the hype over the wedding & me leaving has overpowered the festive mood.

Ok gotta go now. Really busy with the wedding and the paperwork for UNSW. Can't believe the wedding is next week. Take care everyone!Do drink more water after all the delicious but unhealthy new year goodies!!
