Middle of week 3!gotta start work on my assignment already..but the assignment I picked this sem seems interesting..its about medicolegal issues and diagnosis of clinical depression..its hard to know where to start with it though..

Anyway I hope everyone had a fun national day:) National day was different for me somehow this year..I don’t usually celebrate much back home…back in singapore it was pretty much a normal public holiday for me, plus the added bonus of fireworks and a parade in the spirit of things..

But although I didn’t get to see the parade this year, I still managed to catch fireworks!I don’t know why there were fireworks last night but we were somehow just lucky enough to catch them at darling harbour..we had a late dinner at pancakes on the rocks, more to celebrate gloria’s birthday, but to a tiny degree to celebrate national day I suppose, since we were all wearing a bit of red:) ha dinner was pretty good, but think I was kind of hungry since I’m used to dinner at 6 at creston so everything just tasted extra good last night:) we stuffed ourselves with pancakes for dessert:) the chocolate pancakes tasted more like chocolate cake than pancakes to me..ha think sometimes the traditional and simpler stuff just seem better at times:) the normal pancakes with lemon and icecream were satisfying:)

Ha anyway after the food, we were strolling along the street and heard popping sounds..ha thought they might have been gunshots or a backfiring car at first but then we saw the bright lights in the distant sky!ha then we started running towards the lights like little kids:) I have no idea what they were displaying fireworks for but we were just lucky enough to catch them:) they were dazzling the sky over the waters at sydney opera house and we managed to take a few nice pictures:) It was a night of good company and light-hearted fun:) and I’m really glad that gloria seemed so happy for her birthday:) I’m really glad for my friends here:) was talking to her earlier about her sister visiting her this week…I really miss my family back home. But I guess being here has made me appreciate them even more. Although I see less of them and talk to them so much less of the time now, I feel closer to them. I think coming here also has made me think more about my relationships with people and the bonds I wish to maintain with my friends..I’ve forged new bonds here which I am very grateful for, and I really thank God for blessing me with so much.

Ha we surprised Gloria with a birthday cake at midnight on Monday night..she was pretty surprised I think, to see the five or us appear at her doorstep with an ice cream cake that night:) had to spend the night at oli’s, and a big thanks to lin min for the use of her bed:) Yep its been a pretty busy but fun couple of days..there seem to be a lot of birthdays this month:)

Lunchtime..
