update!!!

i forgot to update on my accomodation...heee...

so blessed i cant contain it! heeeeeeeeee! grin from ear to ear to ear to ear!

was actually offered a place in hostel..but have been hearing horror stories abt hostel life over there...plus the hostel's likely to chalk up extra expenses cos u gotta pay for linen (bedsheet, comforter, pillow) and also need to pay for using the recreational facilities inside...and if ur utilities bill exceeds that of the pre-set price..u gotta split the bill amongst ur flatmates...

den shiya (one of the girls i'm gg with...same batch, different class..i.e. not tt close) had a contact for her distant aunt over there..she's gg to stay with a cousin u see...anyway, i called this lady up...long distant call all the way to australia oh! kena her voicemail twice somemore..with heart a-pounding, i spoke to her and asked her almost everything...hahha...by the end of the conversatin, i could hardly stop smiling and was alr bouncing abt my room! hahah...

well..it's like this..she's offering her room at AUD120 per wk...sch hostel is AUD122 per wk..this lady has 3 rooms...she stays in one, one couple stays in another and she has one room to let. her son stays just next door and he also has one room to let. the couple tt stays with this lady...the husband works on an oil rig so he's usually not home..so it'll be mainly a girly environment..as for this auntie's son..he stays with his wife n 3kids..aged 7, 5 and 2...their room will have a private toilet attached to it though.. anyway the auntie seems really nice..she was like..for FIRST DAY OF SCH, i'll dirve u down and show u ard and show u where n how to take the bus back..ha! macham pri sch! and she says she's not v particular if we wanna kope a bit of her leftovers..heee...but if we want her to cook all meals and stuff, the rent will be AUD170per wk instead.. and then i just had to ask her abt HOUSEWORK..hahah... as u all noe..i'm hardly the domestic type..hahah.. so she SAYS dont worry abt hsework..i'll do all the cleaning for u..u just have to wash ur own clothes..but if u can't wash ur own clothes i can help u wash..with a washing machine, it's really easy! can u imagine how absolutely elated i was to hear that..tt woman must be God-sent! hahaha...and den she says...when u come here u're just like family..so u dun have to hide in ur room all day after school..come out..watch some tv..play some music if u want..and she ADDED...i've my own SWIMMING POOL and garden and my son has his own SWIMMING POOL and garden as well.. no words can describe how i felt when i heard that k! thot bubbles immed pops out...and i can simply imagine nua-ing in paradise...beside a fantabulous pool on a hot SUMMER day...(finally can experience seasonal changes) woweeeee!!!!!!!! superabundent blessings man! this is indeed the grace of God..undeserved, unmerited favour...

tt conversation really left me speechless..was so grateful..felt so loved..

and one last blessing on top of blessing was...u noe how if u take up space in the hostel u still have to pay a fee....well in Aus, the hostel expects us to pay the ful amt...AUD122 per wk even if we're physically not in the room.. however, this auntie i spoke to..she said that if we're gg for a short break like 2-3wks...she WON'T CHARGE us at all!!!!! but if we're gg forfew mths..she'll charge half the rental fee la.. and and and...her hse is located within walking distance from a shopping centre and is 10mins drive from school..she says it's too far to walk and may take ard 20mins on bicycle..and den she adds that we can prolly buy a car for 2-3k in Aus....soooooo tempting right..hahah...we'll see how den..but really blessings upon blessings upon blessings..

was at first quite worried abt swimming test..cos saw this really strict and crazy tester b4..den we got George for our swim test prep lessons so tot can't be him...den was praying like crazy cos not v confident abt lifesaving...and then...dang dang dang dang...it's GEORGE! hahaha...happy happy happy...
