Sigh. I miss home so so much. I kept thinking yesterday how I'd usually be spending my sunday with my family back home.

I spent my saturday with Gloria..we went to Bondi Junction!A very big shopping centre/street. I had a good time talking to her. She's one of the few people I've been able to really talk to since coming here. :) I kept her company while she bought her groceries for the week..and went to visit her apartment!Haha I gave her few helpful tips while she attempted to cook pasta for dinner!It was pretty yummy and we felt pretty accomplished!Her apartment's quite comfortable and cosy and I had had a good time with her that day. I think its pretty cool the way we met. We were in the same chem engineering class in NUS and we both dropped out to come to UNSW for medicine.

My sister called me from sydney airport on saturday night. She was on her way home from New Zealand and was transiting at sydney for a couple of hours!I hadn't heard from her since before I left Singapore so I was so glad to hear her voice again:) Her honeymoon sounded amazing!She actually went SKYDIVING. So cool!I'd love the chance to do that but don't know if I'd actually have the guts to go through with it once I'm actually up there. Plus she went horseback riding on the actual horses that were in the LOTR movies!So exciting:)Haha it doesn't sound like a typical relaxing honeymoon but it sounded like such an experience:)

And yesterday I finally saw sydney city. I went with a few of the creston girls to the city to shop!Saw A LOT of nice stuff. Unfortunately everything was also VERY expensive. Well if you're lucky there are some decent items on sale. And the city is huge. So many streets and intersections..the transport system here is pretty complicated in comparison to Singapore's. It wasn't really a shopping trip..more of a tour of the city for me..the city's relatively quiet on sundays..by 5pm the crowd thins out and it starts to feel a bit depressing. There were lots of nice buildings and sights, and at least I now know my way to the city.

Came back to college by 6pm for dinner..and I was really happy to receive a phone call after dinner from my family!The whole family was gathered around the phone back home. Even buster recognised my voice (I think) through the receiver. My sister said he went quiet and wagged his tail when I called his name through the receiver. I miss everyone back home so much. (Sorry I think I'd said that a zillion times already..apologies to everyone for having to listen to my whining) I felt like I had so much more to say to them and I was so sad after I hung up. Lionel called me a little later that night which cheered me up. Sigh but I always feel so sad after I put down the phone.

Ok I think I've whined enough. I've gotta go change and get ready to leave for St George's Hospital!My first clinical session today. Take care everyone!I miss you loads!

weibin: heylo!thanks:) Life here hasn't been bad, but I miss home a lot..heh but thanks!:)
nicole: haha yep I haven't started on my interview assignment yet..soon soon!heh ya it just feels weird slacking now..oh well, I'll enjoy this slack period as much as I can!:)thanks dear!
