I do not know how anyone manages it, but finding accomodation in a foreign land is a real headache. If you all still do not know, yes, I am in active search for accomodation AGAIN. Apparently, there's a hitch in communication between my mum and her friend. Argh, do not ask about it anymore. Basically, I am homeless again.

I tried calling Mr Gan's auntie staying in Adelaide. I tried for 2 whole weeks. Either no one's picking up the phone, or there's this Australian guy who answers but gives me very vague and impatient answers. Hmmm, who knows, I might uncover a mystery murder. Maybe this Auntie Cynthia got murdered by this Oz guy, which explains why I cannot find her in any time of the day, and explains why this guy always got irritated by me when I call over. So everyone cannot find Auntie Cynthia because this guy hacked her up in pieces to feed the kangaroos. I might be the keywitness to this bloody murder and they fly me over to testify. Hmmm

There is 99.99% possibility that the above is just a figment of my imagination. But who can explain why I can never find that bloody Auntie Cynthia?! I am freaking frustrated.

Ok, with no other options at hand, I decided to look for apartments myself. So far so good. There's a gorgeous balcony room with security and furnished kitchen and living room, $680 per month. right smack in the middle of the city. I called Oz this morning to enquire more. I hereby announce Oz's slang is like SHIT. Its not classy and sounds kangaroony. I do not think they talk. They snort. Oh my. Kit's right. She told me Oz's slang is like way off. I hope I nv ever acquire their slang. I.DO.NOT.WANT.TO.SPEAK.IN.SNORTS.

I found another place but I must find a flatmate. There's a keen lady who wants to share, but she's from Zimbabwe. ZIMBABWE? I only know its a place with railroads and undeveloped huts, from the Elective Geography Map reading. We always got Zimbabwe cos there's not many maps to go around. Ok, I should not be prejudiced against her just because she's coming from a place I do not know. Maybe she thinks Singapore is in China? Ok, I'll wait and see if anyone else emails me about sharing a flat. I am a little apprehensive about sharing. But, beggars ain't choosers. Blah.

84 days before I depart!

Kaiqi and I had a discussion the other day. She reckons after I leave, she will be a no-friends-no-life-Kaiqi. Actually, what she says has some grain of truth inside. Although we are in C9, everyone else got their own lives, except Kaiqi and I who always stick together, who goes to the same hairdresser, shops at the same places and calls each other almost every night to talk. If I leave, she will have no more kaki to go hairdressing with her, or even go shopping with. Sadly, all her JC friends are in NUS, which is totally shitty because she's got no one in NTU. Caiwen and Pauline's there too, but according to her, Caiwen hangs out with her JC friends and Pauline's got her boyfriend. Speaking of which, if I forgot to mention, yes, Kq's single again.

See, she should have given her number to the guys who asked when we were in Euphoria. At least, she can go on dates now and start choosing. How can she find a new best friend or a new boyfriend in such a short time?? This further proves the fact that I am sort of indispensable to kaiqi or my family :)

If she's the one leaving, I think I will be like her too. But I think I am much more sociable than her, haha. In addition, I do not need to socialise when I am mugging. Kaiqi's different. She can play mahjong even though she's got major exams coming on. Oh man, she's a poor old bitch. I cannot help feeling sorry and guilty at the same time.

But I must reaffirm the fact that I will be coming back to Singapore regularly. Duh. You think I can stand snorting Ozzies for 3 whole years?? I will work my ass off as a chicken rice stall helper if I must to earn my airfare.

To end off, I am hereby appealing people to arrange blind dates for Kaiqi. Thank you :)
