21st january, day two.at least two weeks here wont be so bad.i have my mum and sharon with me. dinner times are different and so is the ambience in the room. there's always someone i can turn to and talk things out. like peas in a pod, we'll be together wherever we are, be it dinner times where just the three of us would sit together for a meal or the room.
things are different now that it's just the three of us. eating fruits aren't in front of the telly anymore, we do it at the basin after washing the dishes. we take turns to wash the dishes and wait for one another.
having mum around makes things so much better. at least there wont be any adult other than my mum to boss us around. whenever there's things to ask of my relatives, we make our mum do it. things aren't so bad when mum is around. she promised me two weeks here in this house, she'll keep her word.
just three months back in singapore and so much has changed. the bus routes are different, bus numbers have changed and takes some time getting used to. the new train lines are up so taking a train into the city would have to replace the usual bus ride that i take. the shopping malls are still the same. the clear blue skies have little clouds, it doesn' rain much and it suns too much!
the other big thing that's going to change in my life would be starting the 'adult' school or university in fact. it's funny that amanda has already finished her junior college and is going to start on university this year. out of two years of JC i only spent 7 months. a crash course that left we brain damage for that matter of fact. two years of syllabus work of 5 subjects in those few months is crazy and i took the road less travelled by. silly me.
my mum said i cant compare with my elder sister on her results for entering university. she said she was already proud of me that i managed a pass in all subjects and even for that matter a 91.75 score over 100 while my sister got 98.00. it cant be judged together since we took different spanse of learning paces. im happy that my score landed me into curtin.
so tommorrow is enrolment day. im doing it alone, walking into a university ao unknown to me. having only trespassed once to meet my elder sister the other time for lunch, everything will still seem so foreign as i go about searching for a small lab in such a big expanse of land. im glad i passed my map directional reading. i thank my dad for his great sense of directions.
ask amanda, ask. any questions just ask. i thought my dad would say that but it was my mum instead. somehow, those years living with me kinda warped her brain to follow of her spouse. i cant blame long relationships with your husbands. alright, so both my parents told me to be confident. i am so full of confidence if...
only i wasn't so small for my size and weight ( but im happy with my weight)
only i wasn't the youngest in the university
i had taken australian speech classes
i knew a few friends over there
i wasn't so afraid of australians who discriminate others
my sense of fashion isn't in the 90's
I TALK LIKE MY DAD!
i guess enrolment wont be so bad. i'll think on the positive side. im just faster than tha rest in getting my degree i guess. hooray for the school year. like real.
