Surfing Down Under!

Hey peeps, just returned from my division outing, went to Broulee Beach for a day of surfing, touch rugby and beach soccer! It was good fun really and I think I am kinda sun kissed now.. Haha, think going to the beach makes people happy but real tired as well.. Yea, the feeling of gliding on the water at high speed is cool and the moment you can stand on the board is magical~ However, if you fall, the undercurrent is strong and can sweep you all over the place, as me and my poor board can testify. Yea, really enjoyed surfing!

As for Khan, don't fret so much man, its always cool to go on a big adventure by yourself and something you should treasure. Make sure you get an international calling card before you go and an ATM card that can allow you to access your money from over there. Yea, that's all my tips for you but just post an entry if you have any more enquiries yea? Last but not least, have fun and take a zillion photos! =)

Erm you want details is it?

Actually I'm really really freaked out right now, can I actually do all this alone?

"Why the hell did I sign up for this thing anyway?????"

Ahem

Anyway, ya I'm leaving for New Jersey on May 2nd Tuesday afternoon. Sigh, it is going to be a 23-hr flight, but will be transiting at Taipei. It's a three-month work/travel kinda thing in US.

Eh I'm damn scared leh, I really have no idea what New York is going to be like. I'm touching down at New York first, probably late at night, which by then hopefully I can check myself into a decent hotel there. (Ya, will be alone) Will be working at this amusement theme park in Wildwood, New Jersey. It's damn fun, well from the brochure la, 'cos the theme park is right smack on the freaking beach!!! Woohoo.

But I think the only drawback is the weather. Read somewhere that highest day temperature in NJ is only going to be 26 degrees celsius, ha which is like my room air-con temperature. NY's not any better either.

Ha, sorry to disappoint, it's nothing glamorous la, I'll probably just be serving super-sized burgers, hotdogs and fries there hahahaha.

Will be living in this house with other students from other countries, macham like boot camp, with bunk beds and all, ha. I don't think I'll be able to eat all that stuff there. Maybe I'll just source for some supermarket and buy cheapo white bread and beer to tide me over. One of my well- travelled friends told me that if I'm worried about living expenses, I can just survive on beer, cos the beer there is really cheap and yup, beer really fills you up. Argh, I can't believe I actually wrote that. Erm, benson, you'd understand right?

I am hoping that I can visit New York again before I return, since the airport is going to be in NY anyway. =) Does the "Central Perk" in "friends" actually exist?

Flight back home is on 19 July, but the stupid airline agent told me that I have to make a 24-hr stopover in Taipei, sigh, and I really want to get back home asap one lor. But I guess one day in Taipei should be fun la, in terms of food, hahaha. Don't think I can do much within one day maybe except to shop and eat. I figure that I'd probably miss Chinese food so much that I'm planning to go on a binge on all those cute little roadside hawker foodfare. Ya! I can do my own shi2 zi4 lu4 kou3!

Hey is anyone interested???? Maybe we can meet up somehere there or something. I'm going to miss E.V.E.R.Y.O.N.E

Hope I can meet you guys again before I go. *wails*

Remember Ms.Ho?

Hey, I just got in touch with Ms. H0 ( Ya, our very skinny econs tutor) recently. We were talking about meeting up in late April. The date is 28 April, Friday. We're probably going to do dinner in town. Please come if you can make it ok. I think she'll be so happy to see you guys again. =)

P.S: Erm actually it's a thinly disguised excuse to meet up with you guys again before I fly off to New Jersey. =p
And yes, shopping lists are welcome.

Autumn is here~

Hey peeps, how is everyone? Bubbly and good? Well, Sis, at this point in time I really cannot confirm whether I am coming back in June as I might have stuff on so stay tuned. Haha, since coming to Canberra, I have had some delicious food, Oriental and Japanese so my stomach is happy, for now.. Guess what, went to a cafe yesterday and they had like the best White Chocolate Cheesecake.. Gobbled it down with equally heavenly mocha milkshake, can still vividly recall the rich fluid slithering down my throat, haha.. Oh well, hang in there everyone and do keep me posted alright? =)

Regards!
