Manager from Flinders Lane called and from next week onwards, I'll be working in Shuji Sushi!

Baaaaaaaym!

Of updates!

So it's been about two months now I've been in Melb.

Cliche:

Question: "How's it over there?"

Answer:"Settling down just fine.. Getting used to the weather (prefer it better than the humid+hot+sweaty weather back home)"

So yeah.. Within this two months I've been adapting well with the weather till i can wear shorts and slippers out on a winter's day. I've also moved in to my new house together with Marc, Happie, and Cheah Loong! Lovin it very much here where it feels so much more homey and who wouldnt love staying in a house full of whacky people?! Baking whatnots every week, playing Blackjack whenever you're bored, learning Mahjong and winning the people who taught you how to play it, trips to DFOs and snugglin on the sofa/bed and watching movies every other night! (P.s We need more movies!!!)

For the past month many happened.. For starters was what mentioned above, I moved in to my new place.. I also applied for like.. countless job openings and only managed to get ONE who called back for an interview.. It's a sushi place called Shuji Sushi.. They said they'd call me back to let me know when and where I'll start work but so far.. no news yet.. :( Really looking forward for a job so I can start spending $1 to $1 rather than $1 to RM 2.8.. Can cry when you have a meal of Fried Rice for $10!!! RM 28 DEIH!!!

Shuji Sushi

It's the first Monday of my one week holiday today.. Chick vs Dick was my lifeline so far since holiday started last Friday.. The week is filled with awesome plans though.. It's Merdeka eve today!! Gonna be celebrating it with DJ Fuzz and Miss Nina @ Billboard tonight.. *thumbs up* On Tuesday it's dinner/movie with WeiNian and the rest of the gang.. Wednesday is the "Ane Barber 1st House Party" where we have our close Msian friends over to our place (Ane Barber cause.. Marc cut mine and CheahLoong's hair) for a potluck dinner.. Thursday it's bball with WeiNian and the gang again.. That's all the plans for now.. Hope ShujiSushi calls back soon with good news and my shifts doesnt clash with the plans I have.. :S

Of the land down under..

G'day mates!

Ahhhh.. Been so long since I updated.. Anyways, For the benefit of those who still dont know (wtf??), I'm all the way at the "Land Down Under"! Yesh, been in Melbourne for over a month now..

Just a brief update on what's going on..

Studies:

I'm doing my Bachelor of Business Degree in International Business at RMIT, Melbourne!

Assignments and tests has already started as I'm now going into my 4th week here in Uni.. Have no idea how I'm gonna start those assignments but I'd better get help soon.. :O

Accommodation:

My current room is not bad and it's enough.. for survival.. Got a reasonably sized room to myself and share the other facilities like kitchen and bathroom with 4 other housemates (Though I dont see them much since they hide themselves in their rooms)..

My room

BUT, I fortunately managed to find myself a better offer from WeiNian when he offered me to move in with him and TekYit at their place! It's definitely cheaper since we'll be sharing the rent, I'd have internet (essential), and it'll be relatively nearer to Uni compared to my current room.. Downside is that I'll be sleeping in the living room (which has a bed).. Another offer came by when Marc, Happie and CheahLoong offered me to move in with them! It's really an awesome place and it's a 5-10mins walk to Uni!

price if relatively the same to what WeiNian offered but I get to sleep in a room (which mother prefers).. So now, fingers crossed that the person who's ineterested in moving into my current room is confirmed then I'll be able to move out!

Friends:

Well, I was lonely.. only for the first hour since I touched down! ngehehe.. I'd consider myself lucky for having awesome people here to accommodate me.. People like WeiNian who brought me out for my first lunch here; Lucas who let me stay over the first night I was here;

Here's sexy Lucas..

and I cant thank Ellya and Emily enough for bringing me around to meet their friends and family

(Uncle Victor and his family was also awesome!) and also awesome food! Not to mention letting me go over to their new humble abode every other day for home cooked dinner and sleepovers!

But of course nothing comes free.. :P

Uncle Victor and family

Pongteh pongteh

Yes, nothing comes free..

The amount of love I tell you.. Fuuuuish!

Managed to make new friends as well amongst my course-mates.. David, Angel, Lily, David's friend, Wesley, Kevin and many more..

So as you can see, I've been settling down just fine here.. Hoping to get a job soon though! Fingers crossed again.. :S

Friends and family back home, missing you loads..

Love,

Jem

Of a song called Superman..

There are no words, to paint a picture of you girl

Your eyes, those curves, it's like you're from some other world

You walk my way, oh god it's so frustrating.

So why do I disappear when you come near,

It makes me feel so small,

Why do I blow my lines, most every time,

It's like I got no chance at all,

If I could be your superman,

I'd fly you to the stars and back again.

Cos everytime you touched my hand,

You feel my powers running through your veins

But I can only write this song,

And tell you that I'm not that strong.

Cos I'm no superman, I hope you like me as I am.

It aint no lie, I have to tell you how I feel,

But each time, I try it gets a little more unreal,

You say my name, oh god I can't stop shaking,

So why do I disappear when you come near,

It makes me feel so small,

If I could read your mind,

Girl would I find, any trace of me at all.

If I could be your superman,

I'd fly you to the stars and back again.

Cos everytime you touched my hand,

You feel my powers running through your veins

But I can only write this song,

And tell you that I'm not that strong.

Cos I'm no superman, I hope you like me as I am
