Haven't been catching much up with writings, leisure writing precisely. Not assignment writings. Writings that enable me to imagine and express whatever I've been feeling freely, not written words that are based by loads of proven research.

Yesterday, went Chadstone sale with a new friend. Funny how fast we can click and go shopping together. I just know him for like barely a month. It took me years to do that with Eric (no offense haha). But then, its still pricey to shop to your heart's content here.

Considering I left my handwritten-not-typed diary at home in Malaysia, worrying everyday till now, hoping no one (ESPECIALLY MY MOM- if she reads anything in there, I'll seriously die) will touch that particular cupboard, and open up that particular book, I was tempted to buy this really cute book with a lock. It looks childish, yet in an elegant way, but it cost AUD25.

AUD25 X RM2.8 = RM70 for this A6 size notebook? No thank you. From Kikki.

I also wanted to buy Smiggle's locked "book". It looks like a book but the "pages" are white metal with a key hole inside, but it cost about AUD19.99 x 2.8 = RM 56 . If you still have no idea what it is, it looks like this :


Still abit too expensive, but after comparing, the Smiggle one is more worthy. Its bigger, cheaper in price and I can store love notes that has been written to me, especially from my beloved bf. ^o^ nah, stilll thinking.

Alot of people tell me, "After 3 months, you'll definitely stop converting and spend money like nothing." But till this date, I still do convert. Should I be proud of it? Sometimes I think I'm too calculative.

Anyway, I bought a GUESS bag! My first! It was on 50% discount, and the GUESS shop looked like night market with people snatching all the bags and all. It was AUD149.90 x 50% discount, it's AUD74.50. RM208. Considered quite cheap for a GUESS handbag, which is quite big. Lazy to take photos. Will show off to anyone who meet me in the next 2 years. Hope the bag last till then!



After shopping for 3 hours, went to Box Hill for claypot rice. YUMMIEZZ. He ordered :


"Unagi don", chinese claypot style! Yeap, claypot with eel.


and my


so called claypot fish!

Actually I think I can even cook this better myself. It's just Basa fish, the fish that I've cooked so often over here, and the sauce, which is not even good, with ginger, and then sprinkle it with spring onion. I can substitute the sauce with any sauce of my likings! Just buy me the claypot.



Anyway, been really stressed. Still assignments coming up, and I'm moving out! yurp. Out. Not staying with Eddie anymore. Been fighting for time to go for inspection, do assignments, and at least touch my revision text book for my upcoming exams.


Houses in Burwood are seriously...UGLY. Cheaper than Melbourne City, but I'm going to look like as if I live in rumah papan/wooden house! Talking bout Malaysia being so kampung with trees and all. Burwood is worse! The toilets really look like it was built 50 years ago. They still have a bath tub, not the high tech bath tub. Like roundish, not cemented and blend into the toilet, but stood in the middle of nowhere kind of bath tub.

Sigh. I wish I have the heart to spend more of my parent's money to find a more decent place to stay. Right now, I'm still looking for rooms, student accommodations are nice, but it cost AUD1k per month and above to stay.

But I already deposit AUD100 for a room, almost the size of really huge kennel. Even my dog from Geelong's room is bigger than this. Yeap, that pampered dog has a room.

The room fits a single bed, and a small desk, the size of the ones you use in primary/high school in class, tightly tuck between the bed and the wall.

PRO's?
AUD440 a month.
1minute walk to my Chadstone buddy's house.
10 minutes walk to university. Save transportation $$.
Water bills, electricity bills, gas bills, and 10GB of internet are all included.
There's TV and a common area, compared to other rooms in Burwood.
Rooms are labelled with duty rooster stuck in the middle of the living area. Every tenant have duties such as carry out the rubbish, clean toilet..etc. Good system, at least I know I won't live in a pig sty.

Cons?
TINY ROOM!! imagine my room as lower case "t". I can stretch vertically, but not horizontally, unless I chop off my palms. That also not really sure if I can still stretch without my palms.
People might steal my food if I put them in the fridge.
6 people 2 bathroom 2 toilets.
It's right beside the kitchen.
Everyone has duties to be fulfilled-tied to house chore, no freedom, and have to clean other people's shit.
Can't smuggle Eddie or my other friends to stay with me. Even if I could, no space for them to sleep, or they might get caught by 6 other girls.

Tomorrow I'm going to look at another room. Right opposite university, but AUD125 per week. More expensive, but the room is so much more bigger. Bills and everything included too. But it's right next to the tramp stop, and as said, next to university, which could be very noisy.
