Wow.. I have been seriously quite busy lately.. getting started for school and settling down at my new house.. Sch was ok.. meet up some new Singaporeans :D thankful to one of my fri who intro her fri to me :D
Seriously, going overseas to study is super super not easy at all. U really have to be mentally prepared especially if you are going to share accommodation outside the school with other ppl to save cost. Other than schooling, you have to do your own house wrk, from washing clothes, cooking, washing toilet, kitchen, hanging clothes, tidy up your room, vacuum your room, settling your mobile phone plans, buying groceries, settling your bank accounts, settling you school enrollment matters and smt even felt helpless especially at the very start.
Like today, I spent 2hrs washing the toilet bowl, bath tub, bathroom basin, kitchen basin, microwave, stove, kitchen table and boiling water. After doing those housework seriously I felt not bad about myself haha.. Cos I don’t touch all these things in Singapore.
Another thing about going overseas is prepare to talk topics that you would not talk to your fris about in Singapore, which is “Going to which supermarket to shop for cheap food”. Today while having lunch with some Singaporeans, we were talking about going which supermarket to buy foods have more offer, and what type of food is cheaper in which supermarket. We even talked about what to cook for lunch and dinner and what to eat for tomorrow breakfast. Everyday, we have to think of what to cook for our next meal.
WE FELT LIKE AUNTIES AND UNCLES AS BACK IN SINGAPORE WE DON’T RMB OURSELF TALKING SUCH TOPICS WITH FRIENDS :S
The uni foods are expensive where the minimum food price is 6bucks+ though the portion is huge. So most of the Asian students brought their own food to eat. And do not even think about drinking soft drink at UQ, provided you are prepare to pay 2bucks+ for a can.
Hai…
