Sydney so far

The internet at the place I’m staying at is pretty unstable to say the least. It’s been rather frustrating trying to get online, half the time it’s down and I have been relying on my phone to retrieve any important mails I have in the meantime. Will get round to replying my other emails when I move in to my new place in a week or so. Hopefully the internet’s set up by then.

Sydney’s been rather interesting. Today I went to the cinema to catch Sex and The City and am rather glad I did despite the $17.50 ticket. I’ve forgotten how much I used to like watching the series. Chris Noth is absolutely divine. So are the clothes. The rest of my time has been divided among apartment hunting (which I am rather thankful that I’ve managed to find a place), furniture (window) shopping and starting next week, job hunting. I’ve been taking my time with the last one as I decided I really want to sort out a place to live first. Although being unemployed is just about killing me at the moment, I hate having so much free time and I really miss just being in a work environment.. there hasn’t been much stimulation for me thus far and the most exciting thing I’ve done was putting my self to work by obsessively tracking down and mapping apartment inspections to go to. Never thought I’d miss work this much but I do!

I’m just glad that I have my laptop with me (and I pray everyday when I leave my room that no one breaks in LOL). Everything else has been quite different from my life in KL, even though I have spent a lot of time in Australia and I’m familiar with the way stuff works here I miss the small luxuries such as having a car to drive around. Instead I’ve started memorising bus and train timetables, road names, building names and trying to keep track of cardinal directions. And praying it doesn’t rain. Gosh I can’t wait for summer already.

Luff the picture! The mail that never made it safely to the postbox. No worries, CSI will figure out what happened to them. Heehee.
