First 1-2 days, subway 1 foot long split to 2 meals.

Then went out grocery shopping.
What i usually buy are
  • bacon 1kg ~7 dollars,
  • indomee 2.69 for packet of 5 (maggie is worst 8 dollars for 10),
  • mil0 9 dollars for 1kg
  • bread 700g 2.48
  • 2 lebanese cucumber 2.29
  • 6 tomatoes 1.63
  • 2litres of paul's full cream milk 3.35
  • apples 1.5kg 6 dollars , bought another 1.5kg doe 3.96
  • celery 1.34
  • sausage beef thick 3.90 (this one got gluten, like a plastic wrapper around it. i think i might change to non gluten sausage later, dunno if its harmful for health)
  • smith chips 200g*2 4dollars( on offer, usual 3.49 per pack)
  • lindt chocolate 2dollars each bar( usual 3.50)
  • just juice 3litre (3.50)

Just tried cooking rice today...brown rice for a beginner 1st time cooking rice! Put too little rice too little water...pour more water..found its too much , poured them out, then when i try to eat the rice its 70-80% cooked. What the hack, i ate them anyway with steamed egg + cut sausages. Also i eat raw tomato, celery and cucumber with thousand island sauce.

Sometime i cook double indomee with eggs or toasted bread with cheese + bacon.

Things to do and updates

Well I have arrived for 3rd day now. My housemate and housemate's mum have just left.
Now i gotto get my stuff sorted out.

  • TFN, Tax file number -just applied online. waiting to get paperwork
  • Bank account - commonwealth (same as my housemate's so that i can transfer the rent and bills easier without transaction charges.
  • Insurance - gotto survey which package to go for..get now or when i get a job ?
  • Mobile- got my number, but need to check out vodaphone outlet for Iphone 3G!
  • Survey broadband packages- the broadband WIFI here in this apartment sucks. But I think i should only get a new one when i get a job.

Weather is cold here especially at night about 7-12 , day time usually 15-17.

Beers and chocolate are cheap even after conversion.Environment is beautiful , the people the manners.

I am loving it here so far.

Miss home ? Who doesnt ? My college friend gave a very a strong encouragement(thanks Bernard!).He said something like this "When people think u are doing something crazy, then you are on the right path. Follow your intuition. There are always sacrifices in the path of success."

I do hope I am making the right choice, whether or not will I settle here in future.

I just hope the next few job interviews turns out better.

O, by the way, I like it here also because I see many beautiful people in the city , not just ladies la:P

There are brunettes, blondes, koreans, japanese, well dressed working class.

The apartment I am staying in has got a small swimming pool and small gym. It is newly built and quite worth the rental if you asked me. The access card I have only allows me to go 3rd floor for gym,sauna and pool and 31st floor where I stay.

Will post more . I love you guys back home.

Coming back home...when I have not even left

Thats right, I booked my air ticket , Air Asia, AGAIN. 186 AUD (inclusive 25kg, meal and selected seats )

now if i may just get lucky...i may get rm 0 again for KL-Gold Coast. so far chepeast is rm419 excluding tax and fuel.

Must decide the air ticket around Nov,Dec...else last minute purchase is costly. :D

I am coming back on the first day of Chinese New Year. duration probably is 1 -2 weeks , taking about 10-11 working days off.
