I think being away from home is good for me. Away from the hustle and bustle of the crazy fast-moving life in Singapore. 

There is an unquestionable difference between life in SG and in Aust, because right now where I'm living in is about 10 minutes bus ride away from the City and it's really pretty quiet and peaceful...

Earlier on we (mom, sis, sis' friend, cameron and I) were having dinner at this pizza place just down the hill from where we live and there were barely any people at all. Like while eating there were only like 10 people that walked past us... (p.s. chewy/chewie [sis' friend's dog] is adorable)

Anyway back to my point. Pre-exams I was completely like worn out and unmotivated and I was crying almost every night but now I feel so happy and carefree, not only because exams and sem 1 are over but because I simply do not have to care about anything when I'm in Aust. I walk around without a care and I wake up and have nothing to bother about (mainly homework) but yeah I like being away from home. Just for awhile though.

I'll probably miss home by end of next week (ha ha ha)

Off to movieworld tmr, video from the previous days should be up soon...I hope

I'm baaack!

I've abandoned this space for awhile in the hopes of trying to stop blogging because I absolutely suck at it and my english is quite terrible (i think?)

Anyway, I've been really happy this week. I feel like this week has been my happiest week this year - maybe not the most fulfilling one but - it has been amazing... It's weird because 

1. I only spent 8 hours with my sister before she flew back home to Brisbane

2. sem exams are drawing nearer and nearer....

3. I didn't do much studying

still, this week made me unusually happy, maybe because there wasn't S&W on Monday.

ANYWAY

- started reading the gospels with becky and I think this ~arrangement~ is working pretty well (speaking of which I need to remind her to do it hahaha) 

- might go to Australia like a day after sem exams which is extremely rushed but yeah I'll be able to pack for a 3 week trip in less than 24 hours..... (yeah right)

- school has been less tiring, ironically

i think most of my happiness comes from the excitement that the sem is ending soon and i'll be getting my long break. but yeah i'm just glad my semi-depressing/cryfest nights are kinda over and i'm becoming more optimistic about things (aka school) 

ok updates soon i hope bbz
