CNY
All my furniture arrived last Wednesday. The unpacking was done so quickly that I was amazed at their efficiency. Unfortunately I am missing a lamp stand. Still under investigation. I have also placed an ad to look for a flatmate. I'm really hoping and praying that I find one soon.
CNY was really quiet here. Sigh I so miss the celebrations. Looks like this is the 3rd consecutive CNY celebration away from home, which means no red packets for me.=( Darn! A few of us Malaysians went out for a CNY eve dinner, and a few ang mohs joined us. We are looking to go up to Sydney tomorrow to join in the festivities there and see the parade.
Went to this teppanyaki place for a friend's bday a couple of days ago. We took up two big tables since there were so many of us. I think this has been our biggest eat out ever. Each table had two hot grills where the chef cooks the meat in front of you. Little did I know that we had to partipate as well. First, it was the catching pieces of omelette in our mouths. Unfortunately I was the only one who failed that, and with 3 chances. I suck. Then we had to catch an egg in a bowl. Many of us missed and raw eggs were just all over the floor and jeans. Last one was catching a bowl of fried rice with an empty bowl. Yup imagine the floor after all our mess. I wouldn't want to be working there and cleaning up!
So far, I've made so many friends here. All of them graduates from various places. I'm the only asian in the group. There's this other China girl who doesn't really join us for activites. But I must say all of them are really friendly and we bonded very quickly...going out for dinners, celebrating birthdays, hanging out at the beach and going out for drinks every Friday night. I must admit that the number of times I've been to the pub here has beaten the number of times I've ever been in my whole entire life. Pub going can be fun, if you go with the right company and the right attitude. Not one of us has left the pub drunk. And I haven't seen any of us smoking a cigarette, which really surprises me. But it's a good thing. =) There's a really good pub that all of us enjoy hanging out because it has a backyard behind the building where people can sit out in the open and enjoy the fresh air, catch up with one another about work, etc.
Okie doks, looks like this will be the updates for now. Am going to the Nan Tien Temple, the biggest one in the southern hemisphere. Take care everyone, have a blast of a new year and remember poor ol teng in the gong. =)
