it's time to shift into my own place!

honestly, i am slightly anxious about moving in. in a way, it is marking the official beginning of my own life. settling things on my own, getting to places on my own, making sure i eat properly, being independent, 95% independent maybe, definitely not a 100 yet. hehe. well all i know about this new place is that there will be two australians and one japanese staying there. as of now, i'm seeing myself as one very antisocial person. i know it will take time for me to blend in with them, but it doesnt feel like i am as brave to be super friendly yet. where i will be living, will be a twenty minutes walk away from uni, but as of now, i'm not too sure how long it will take me to reach campus, i guess i will eventually figure it out by next week. had an initial plan of getting a bicycle to cut my journey short. but looking at where i am staying, cycling at that area seems quite dangerous, especially for a noobie cyclist like me who knows nothing about the australian road rules. even to get to the nearest town, taking the bus is only possible. walking there for a leisure walk is fine, but i doubt it will be as joyful when i walk home with a few bags of groceries in hand.

now, the question is, how long would it take for me to get acquainted with the other three girls in that house? i am fine being antisocial, but it just isnt nice being antisocial. i would need to communicate with them sometime somehow. hrmmmmmm
this is my first time living on my own. :(
forgive meeeeeeeeee

if i had no problems with my spine, i would have definitely joined a cheerleading squad here. cheerleading is still growing here, probably better based that back in malaysia. would've given me better exposure. nope. i have a spine problem, however much i wish to join one, health wise, it will still be worrying.

getting a phone here is simple. you choose your phone, you choose your plan, and you're good to go. wait. i'm not an aussie, thus currency is the bigger problem to me. i am trying my best to keep my malaysian number in my Xperia mobile, simply because i did not want to lose all those contacts information i had in there. also because i was doubting that people would actually be contacting me through my aussie number, thus the reluctant attitude. then i came up with the idea of getting a new phone, just for my aussie number. i thought maybe at least with it, i can have internet excess as the free wifi excess here is rather limited. have been searching around for better options and also the phone that i would like to use. came across nokia N9. it was using a platform that no other phone was using, yet. and it came in the colour blue. knowing how i like to be different from everyone else, it tempted me badly. it wasnt normal that we could see a coloured smartphone around anyways. a BLUE smartphone, with MeeGo system.

didn't like the windows system and iPhone was highly overrated. was looking around for android as i was used to it's system already. but MeeGo was somewhat similar to android, but much simpler. not as much folders and swipes needed to use it. rather simple, and it's BLUE!! :D
after much surveying, it is only today that i have decided that i should stick to my current plan, and upgrade it into the postpaid. what Vodafone, Optus and Telstra offers are considerably much more expensive than what i found today. though i may not be sure that i would use up to the amount i pay for, but it still does seem much more worth it. besides, the others did not have the blue n9 as they only have the black one.
solution: purchase the blue one elsewhere, 469aud and get the postpaid plan. 4gig of data useage, unlimited texts, unlimited calls for a whole month, costing 40aud per month.
other companies offering the price of service plus mobile would cost about 99aud per month for 24 months for unlimited usage. or, 5aud9 per month for 1.5gig data and limited usage.
:D
and i will get myself a blue smartphone. YEAY!

lol. my post today sounds rather boring.
i feel bored typing this even, but i just feel like typing something.
hadn't have the mood to go anywhere since that weekend's trip to the city.
been rotting at home like nobody's business. :P

anyhow.
as much as i miss home, thank goodness for the internet excess and also the lively social net work we have today. have had several calls through skype since i landed, and they have been keeping me company and sanely sane up til today. yesterday's session was the best. had a brief chat with my dear friend whom i miss dearly, and followed by a 4-5 hours session with up to 11 of my ausmat coursemates. it may sound really hectic and really laggy, but it was alright. would have to say it was one of the best sessions i have ever had. just to hear those voices and feel like i am still back at home, makes me feel comforted. :)

haven't been updating my facebook much. for i know my mother stalks me on facebook, i am trying not to make her worried as much as i can. right now, i have a new stalker on my blog, my sister. :P but i guess i can't stop her from reading my posts. cause my blog is where i let myself free, and it is a place where people would only read when they choose to read. at least i still have my freedom. it feels good sharing my thoughts with people who cares too. i miss my aunt though. i miss how we used to talk about random things about life and i can't do that anymore. gets a tad bit upsetting. will make it an effort to call her more once i'm settled with my mobile stuff.

lets have a separate paragraph especially for my dear mummy. she has been calling me everyday as many times as she could. i could not help but to feel bad that she is worried about me. i understand that it is rather difficult for her to accept the fact that i am going to live my life on my own and it worrying the crap out of her. i have no idea how to make her believe that i will be alright on my own either. fact that she is so worried about me is making me doubt my own abilities in taking care of myself. MUMMY! I WILL BE FINE! GIVE ME SOME TRUST! and money I WILL BE FINE! take care of yourself mummy, let me learn life my way and i will eventually find a way to take care of you when i'm done. :) ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ i'll be fine, really. love you!
